Where can I find weight capacities for let’s say 1/4 aluminum plate vs steel spanned 10 inches? In layman’s terms?
Is there any place online to purchase reasonable or does shipping eat up the pocket book? Thanks |

You really need to know the alloy of the metal & its yield strength. Once you know that, you can calculate the bending moment it can withstand.
The online suppliers I have looked at were quite high priced. I have been going to a weld shop & they let me pick thru their bin, at least I don't have to pay for the shipping. |

Thanks Gary. They are new to me and I drive by there all the time. I’ll stop by this week. There’s a surplus steel place just north of there, generally reasonable but it’s truly surplus. May be there, may not, may have 1/2” hole drilled through the center etc.
