For much of the content, each steel is given its own page, headed by its steel name, according to BS EN 10027-1:2016, and steel number, according to BS EN 10027-2:2015.
Information on material classification is then given, highlighting differences in terminology across various associated standards, and some selected (and limited) material property tables. These values are examples only and, as highlighted in Chapter 1, vary subject to a number of parameters. Properties are given for thickness ranges that are considered most common for relevant products and applications.
Beneath these properties, example material designations are given. The correct use of complete designations has significant value, giving certainty to specifications by clarifying design requirements.
