Re: What kind of steel is it ?



soft spring steel.
cant make a spring out of it but it flexes .
its ice class ,, not brittle cold.
That happends to alaska crabbers.
the steel might not be soft enouph and when it gets too cold the steel
gets biddle and wount give at all and cracks and rips and the boat sinks
in a few seconds.
any boat that has been in minus 20 deg
you might see the hook fall off the crane its so cold. So cold a truck
frame bust and axels come off and springs are the first to snap.
The first lst to barrow allaska is still in barow alaska. Plates
popped off the hull.
They got to shore and it got cold and things snapped off . hull welds
went.
it sank 3 feet and is still there.

a barrel on a tank out on the islands was japs..
the barrel filled with ice and it snapped off .
the barrel is 2 pices ,,it just fell off.
think it was cast ?
ice class is soft steel and lots of it.
