    Heat Treat 516-70 to 50 ksi

    Thanks for the advice. Would having impact requirements change any of your thoughts? I need 3 tests, min average 20 LB-FT (27 joules) at -4°F. with no one test below 15 LB-FT. Thanks again!

    Heat Treat 516-70 to 50 ksi

    Does anyone know the proper heat treatment process to obtain a 50 ksi min Y for A-516-70? We spec'd out a-572 Gr50 but get deviation reports from our fabricator stating that 516-70 was used. These plates are for pad-eyes on +20 ton weight units for offshore service. Any help is much...

    What would be a good drafting refre

    have you looked into Global Standards or ANSI Y14.5M? They are the most widely used standards in the drafting/design field. I am not sure if they are covered by ISO, but they might help.

    structural calculations

    Austim, thank you for your words or wisdom. However, I have a copy of 'Manual of Steel Construction, Allowable Stress Design, Ninth Edition' which I've been reading. This has helped so far, as I've only just begun to read it. The software will no doubt be VERY beneficial in my learning curve...

    eng software for dummies

    I am new to steel structures, but familiar with mechanical design. Can anyone advise me of a good entry-level engineering software package useful in calculating "red-iron" members for small buildings and residential structures? All help is very welcome.
