Why we use Docol R8 Tubing
Docol R8 Tube – Ultra High Strength Steel – Dual Phase Steel.
Docol R8 was engineered to provide a stronger, more consistent alternative to 4130 CD SMLS tube
Suitable applications: aerotube, roll cages, chassis, suspension, wheelie bars, motorcycles, wing struts, drive shafts, nerf bars and bumpers.
Common production car applications: door crash bars, roof bows, A&B pillars, bumpers, foot boxes and seats. Docol has been used in production cars for more than 30 years.
Currently Allowed For:

Key Advantages of Docol R8
- Stronger than 4130 by 10 to 15 percent
- Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) in Docol R8 is much less in area than 4130, less brittle than 4130, retains better elongation and necking than 4130
- Docol R8 is much more tolerant to heavy fabrication
- Clean mill finish product – minimal, if any, surface prep required
- Accurate and consistent dimensional and mechanical properties due to this material being a rolled and welded strip
- Compatible with welding to 4130 and mild steel
- Use ER 80 S filler material (same as 4130)
- Suitable for TIG and MIG welding
- This is what you want to buy if you plan on welding any brackets or tabs to your bumper support or rad core support
