| Subject: | sheetmetal question |
Hi all,
Bought some sheetmetal at Blakesburg, not sure what it is, it is
stamped...
SRD 106 707 080 also 8018
SRD 106 706 051
The 080 and 051 appear to be the thickness
Can anyone tell me what this "super buy" is???
Thanks!

Jack,
FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-1B, page 4-1, indicates 1067, means high
carbon steel with no alloys, carbon content about .6%, if I'm
interpreting your numbering correctly. I looked up (googled) SAE
standards on steel alloys, 86 and 87 are digits indicating
chromium/nickel/steel alloy but 8018 doesn't show up and doesn't make
sense due to the second digit being a "0".. FAA and SAE metal standards
indicate------first digit of "1" is plain carbon steel, second digit of
"0" means no alloy or sulfur added, last two digits of the four means
the approx. carbon content. With the new ISO, worldwide standards on
all stuff, USA based SAE digits must be cross referenced with world
databases to see if numbers make sense. Since most of the steel
available in USA is made in some foreign country with cheaper labor,
think the SRD might mean the manufacturer. So...........this is my best
guess. IF you decide to try welding this stuff, you may want to insure
you use a really really non-oxidizing flame so you don't burn out the
carbon.
