The three most common materials used to construct T-Bars are aluminum, stainless steel, and brass. Material is important when considering what the T-Bar is going to be used for.
Aluminum is the lightest, cheapest, and easiest to work with of the three. Stainless steel is strong but more brittle than aluminum and while it is very corrosion-resistant, stainless is a misnomer as it will eventually begin to discolor and rust. It is also non-magnetic, easy to weld, and has poor electrical conductivity if any of those are concerns. Brass has a unique look with its golden color and has a better strength-to-weight ratio than stainless steel. Brass has a high melting point, is highly conductive, and is not recommended for welding though it can be easily soldered.
