Default FOR WHY ?!?

Simple google search :

http://www.specialsteel-jy.com/AISI_1144.html

Plate - look at the blue AISI... specs and chemical.

Plate to 1.5" more or less.

many other istes have this steel.

Not very hard, but 3x that of A36 Hot rolled steel.

Stress-Proof is Awesome! stuff.


You fell less stress just working with it.






You workin' with rod or plate? I can't find it (and don't even know if

it's available) in plate or ground plate.

I never heard of it other than rod.
Plates would be better than sliced bread...
