Identifying Steel types.

[cambesol]

Here is a colour chart http://www.alro.com/datapdf/metals/colorcodechart.pdf.
Although it may mean nothing as suppliers usually had their own version.
As to the steel type you need I have no real idea as I only used to analyse them to see if they were in spec, more often than not they had selected the wrong one! Happened more than once!

If your old company can't select the right one, its not looking good for me

Thanks, Neil.
