The 1018 is a very low carbon material with great formability and for welding. A qualified laser could cut these parts +-. 005.
PNO is actually P & O,, Pickled & Oiled is where a hot roll material is run through several extra process making it a super material
for this racing application. My goal here was to help out Tim and a potential buyer.

Thanks for the bump. For those unaware: Acid pickling removes mill scale (oil quench prevents rust), so there's no need for secondary blasting or grinding. Welds are stronger and paint adheres better as a result.
