1958 sheet steel
1958 sheet steel
(OP)
Just curious,
Can anyone guess at what grade of carbon steel sheet was typically available in 1958-1960 in the US? This is for an educated guess, in lieu of testing an actual sample.
Application - rail car side frame built by Pullman Standard. Sheet was 0.075 thick, spot-welded to 0.12 thick stiffeners.
Thanks.

A guess, Inland was a major sheetmetal mill in the area; Maybe something is searchable for Inland.

I try to contact him to see what steels they used and when.

He also said that there are actual blueprints of some the cars made during that time peroid and could possibly be found in books on model railroading. He said that he has seen prints of some of the cars they made prior to switching to making only boxcars in the shop.
You might also want to look around the AISI site.
