Hi The Torsion bar materials are Stainless Steel ASTI 304 or ASTI 301, after it is welded you may benefit from having the torsion bar hardened by precipitation hardening. They should adopt the original temperatures and timings when the bar was originally manufactured, having been torsioned in the cryo tank.

They have a special process using titanium welding. The owner was quite interested in doing the repair on a Delorean, he has started to do some research to see if he can find what metal compound is used in these bars. I have an appointment with him tomorrow. If anyone has any information on the metal used, please let me know so I can pass it on. I think I have found the correct company for the job.
