Material Type – Common options:
Steel (carbon/alloy): Strong, durable, affordable.
Hollow vs. Solid: Hollow bars are lighter; solid bars are stiffer.
Aluminum/Titanium: Lightweight but less common (performance-focused).
Grades/Markings – Look for labels like "SAE 4140" (alloy steel) or "SAE 1045" (carbon steel).
Weight & Finish – Steel is heavier; aluminum is lighter. Coatings (e.g., powder-coated, zinc-plated) hint at quality.
Testing – OEM specs (hardness, tensile strength) or manufacturer certifications (e.g., ISO, TÜV).
