 Yes - that is one way of reading it. But it also suggests only the UK
allows copper, which I'd be very surprised if it were true. I dunno if
Automec even exports anyway.

Think is that copper was used for many a year on cars, before the much
cheaper steel. So just what a problem work hardening is in practice, I'm
not sure. But am sure many just love scare stories. 

Perhaps I should set up a test rig to vibrate copper, kunifer and steel
pipe, And see just how long they all take to fracture.
