Evaluating Odd Steel Types
Evaluating Odd Steel Types
(OP)
Interesting question came up today. Have a 3" diameter solid dowel pin connecting two elements that have 200 kip axial load in them. The fabricator is asking wether or not steel A4150 is acceptable. Has anyone ever heard of this stuff and/or run into a similar situation? How do you evaluate steels that we typically dont use every day?
