Yes. What I would love to know is though, what is the elongation %
and reduction in area of the bars at the given strength. Something
no manufacturer is willing to tell.


A failed, discarded bar might.

If you plan to make these things you need a way to proof test them
anyway.


And therein lies the problem. The driving force behind me wanting to make a bar in the first place is a complete lack of quality equipment in my country. Elite athletes all import Eleikos. However they are sponsored. I am not.
