I see no info on it on searches, and who has use this in chassis building ?

 

DOM refers to the manufacturing process and not the grade or type of material. I have had DOM in 1020 and lately it seems mostly 1026 which I don't care for as much. There is much more springback when bending the 1026 and it punches much harder also.

I know the processes but there was no grade listed like it didnt matter much.

So it's a mild steel.

 

A material data list is available from your distributor. It has all of the necessary info on it.

Here is what my sheet says, it is from Plymouth Tube Company

ASTM-A-513-5 Welded mech.

Grade 1020

Finish Stress Relieve Anneal

Sheet also gives test number for yield and tensile strength.
