Strip Steels Flashcards
1
Q
What are some properties of low carbon strip steels?
A
Typically have low yield stress
Which means they can be cold formed
Can only deal with small loads due to low yield stress and thin gauges
Have thin gauges of around 0.4 to 5mm
2
Q
What are the pros to strip steels?

Cheap raw materials
Cheap to join and form
3
Q
What are the cons of low carbon strip steels?
