i agree. is more exxy due to the chromium content more than anything, but also the molybdenum and the lower volumes etc.

chromoly is higher in strength than mild steel by a fair margin.. what do you think they make sports sedan frames, sprint car frames, and light aircraft engine mounting structures from?

It is the diameter and thickness of a tube that will increase strength of a cage. the wall thickness of chromoly will not need to be as that of mild steel for it to be as strong, BUT, decreasing tube diameter also decreases the bending strength (for want of a better term) and stiffness/rigidity of the structure.

that said... the design of a cage is everything. a different material for the cage only requires changes to pipe wall thickness (and maybe pipe diameter).

BUT...
