    3% is incorrect.
    Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon in which the carbon content ranges up to 2 percent (with a higher carbon content, the material is defined as cast iron). You can see this in the Iron Carbon Equilibrium Diagram.

    3% is way off base. Wrong information is worse than no information. Educate yourself before posting

    https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/aisi-sae-steel-numbering-system-d_1449.html

    Example AISI/SAE No. 1020
    • the first digit indicates that this is plain carbon steel.
    • the second digit indicates there are no alloying elements
    • the last two digits indicates that the steel contains approximately 0.20 percent carbon
    The last 2 digits indicate carbon content in hundredths of one percent.
    So, 1018 is a plain carbon mild steel containing 0.18 % carbon.

    Bottom line guys, at the end of the day, if we leverage our synergies and drill down on our core competencies the stakeholders are going to be proactive, not reactive. This is a win-win.

  12. All metal, (meaning every last bit of every metal) is cast. It's melted and poured out of a crucible or ladle. Minerals are added or removed and the shape is changed over and over and over till they get what they want,,, an I beam a round bar, a flat plate that gets slit and bent and welded into a pipe or box tube or a brake rotor.

    Ever wonder why 20 ga material is thinner that 11 ga,, the bigger the number the thinner seams backwards.
    Well the number represent the the number of times it went thru the thinning rollers.
    Yes all the sheet metal was cast.

    Vanadium, Valerium, Valium, whatever gets you through the night.
    Vanna White is what works for me!
    You young guys probably don't even know who that is.
