Hey, Mr. Jackson, I’m just a hobbyist apprentice looking for some steel to learn some machining and must mention that’s I’ve called your east tampa store today and was impressed with the person on the phone, Beth! What a friendly and non-intimidating person to make someone welcome in such a new world, and that means the world for me!
She deserves some kudos!
Super satisfied and I haven’t even been in the store yet!!! Really looking for meeting your team and hope all are as friendly as Beth was today!
Great video!

Do you guys have a video explaining the difference between grades of steel? For example, the difference between A36 and AR400 96X240 plates?

I love absorbing knowledge and I have decent amount of knowledge regarding chemistry, so I have found these videos very informative. I’m not looking for the actual formulas for producing these metals, but having a working knowledge of the basics help understand this. Thanks for making these!

Way more complicated then the Bronze Age lol. Been binge watching all your videos. Going to geek out on our welder!

Great analysis with "CAST" or Carbon Steel, Alloys, Stainless, and Tool Steels. An electric arc furnace is vital for Tool Steels and Alloy Steels. Mini-mills in America make great steel products. Thanks!

Hi, i am a hobbyist knife maker and as such I purchase small stock bars, usually 2 by 12 by .125. do you offer O1 in such small quantities?

[RayanAloweiny]

I didn't get it, first you said the second digit of the series indicates the Sub-category, then you said generally it indicates the concentration of the major element ?? so how can I find out for (SAE1015) for example ?? can anyone explain ? :)

Hello

in the last you told 4140
4 indicates mylabdeum
And
1 % is mylabdeum or Re-sulfurized carbon steel
Please clarify..

[thomasgronek]

How can an AISI number be used to designate steel with greater than 1% carbon ?

[dylane]

Thank you for the info!

Though, was I the only one that thought the background music was a little goofy? 🤣

what kind of steel is the strangest for wrenches?. i screw on rusty cars most. and all wrenches i been try´d is just failing... i have to grind and its not fun. i have not tryed titanium whrenses but those are really 2000 dollars for a set. seen videos on wright-grip wrenches and those are strong but im living in europe little hard to get them...

[miloszivkovic]

I have a question for steel knowers. What if you cut smaller part from very thick steel (10x10x10 inch cube), lets say 2x2x6 inch. Is it same strength as if you cast 2x2x6 steel right away?
