General Product 2
Information
STEEL QUALITY DEFINITIONS —
COLD ROLLED, HOT ROLLED, ELECTRASMOOTH, AND ENAMEL
ASTM Specifications All products are manufactured to current ASTM specifications. These
standards have been revised to reflect steel quality designations adding
chemical compositions and typical mechanical properties.
Commercial Steel This quality is defined in ASTM Standards A1008 for Cold Rolled,
(CS Type A, B, or C) A1011 and A1018 for Hot Rolled and is equivalent to the former
Commercial Quality. Sheets of this quality are suitable for applications
where bending, moderate forming or drawing may be involved.
Chemistry limits for CS Type B preclude the application of ultralow
carbon material of this quality.
CS Type B is not recommended where a high degree of uniformity

in mechanical properties is required.
Maximum ductility exists in Cold Rolled Sheets that are in an annealed

last or “dead soft“ condition, however, such sheets are not suitable for
many applications because they will flute or stretcher strain. To prevent
the occurrence of fluting or stretcher strain in forming or drawing, Cold
Rolled Sheets are temper rolled, however, the effect of temper rolling
is only temporary due to the phenomenon commonly known as aging.
Effective roller leveling immediately prior to fabrication will minimize the
tendency to flute or strain. Stocking of material for an extended period
of time should be avoided. To eliminate the possibility of aging killed
steel can be supplied but must be specified.
Drawing Steel Type B (DS Type B) This quality is defined in ASTM A1008 for Cold Rolled and A1011
and A1018 for Hot Rolled and is equivalent to the former DQSK. This
quality has improved mechanical properties compared to CS and
should be specified for fabrication of parts having stringent drawing
requirements. Chemistry limits forbid application of ultralow carbon
material to this quality. In addition to the improved formability,
DS Type B is non-aging after it has been properly temper rolled.
Extra Deep Drawing Steel (EDDS) Steel of this quality is defined in ASTM Standard A1008. Sheets of this
quality should be specified when DS Type B will not provide a sufficient
degree of ductility and drawability for the fabrication of parts having
stringent drawing requirements. This quality is furnished as a vacuum
degassed stabilized steel. It is non-aging and will not exhibit stretcher
strain or fluting.
Extra Deep Drawing Steel Plus Sheets of this quality should be specified for the most difficult parts
(EDDS+) having the most stringent drawing requirements. This quality is
furnished as a vacuum degassed stabilized steel. It is non-aging
and will not exhibit stretcher strain or fluting.

Structural Steel (SS) Steel of this quality is defined in ASTM Standards A1011 and A1018
for Hot Rolled and ASTM A1008 for Cold Rolled and is equivalent to
the former Structural Quality. These products are produced to specified
mechanical properties. The properties are obtained through control of
carbon and manganese.
High Strength Low Steel of this quality is defined in ASTM Standards A1011 and A1018
Alloy Steel (HSLAS) for Hot Rolled and ASTM A1008 for Cold Rolled and is equivalent to
High Strength Low Alloy Steel the former High Strength Low Alloy Steel. These products are produced
with Improved Formability to specified mechanical properties by additions of columbium.
(HSLAS-F)
Specified Hardness For some applications, customers chose to specify a minimum,

maximum or a range of Rockwell hardness (minimum of 15 pt. range).
When ordering this quality, chemistry cannot be specified. All ranges
may not be available. Orders for specified hardness will not be accepted
for gauges < 0.026 in. due to testing variability.
Specified Mechanical Properties Applications that require specific mechanical properties that are
not covered by Industry/Society standards, or customer specification,
agreed to mechanical properties must be met.
Bake Hardenable Steel of this quality is specified when a customer requires a steel that
increases in strength from blank to finished part through a combination
of work hardening during part forming and strain aging during
subsequent thermal processing.
Dent Resistant Steel of this quality are conventionally low carbon or ultralow carbon
that are alloyed and processed to allow increase of their strength level
during the formation of the part through work hardening.
Enamel Steel Defined in ASTM A424. Only CS, DS and I-F Enamel Steel are available.

STEEL QUALITY DEFINITIONS — HOT DIP COATED
ASTM Specifications All products are manufactured to current ASTM specifications. These
products (ZINCGRIP, Aluminized Type 1, and Aluminized Type 2) are
produced in quality designations defined in the appropriate ASTM
standards. These standards are:
ASTM A653 - ZINCGRIP Steel
ASTM A463 - Aluminized Steel Type 1 and Type 2

These standards have been revised to redefine steel quality designations
adding chemical compositions and typical mechanical properties. Not
all quality designations are available in every product.
Commercial Steel (CS) Sheets of this quality are equivalent to the former Commercial Quality
(Type A, B, or C) and are suitable for the same types of applications. ZINCGRIP and
Aluminized are subject to strain and fluting unless supplied as an extra
smooth or temper rolled product; however, Commercial Steel may also
exhibit the phenomenon of aging. There are three types of Commercial
Steels defined in the ASTM standard each one having specific chemistry
and typical mechanical property ranges. See individual AK products for
available types.
Deep Drawing Steel (DDS) Sheets of this quality are equivalent to the former Drawing Quality
Special Killed. This grade may be produced from either low carbon
aluminum killed steel or interstitial free stabilized steel at the producers
option. Objections to the use of stabilized steel must be included in
customer order requirements.
Extra Deep Drawing Steel (EDDS) Sheets of this quality provide a degree of ductility and drawability
for the fabrication of parts having stringent drawing requirements.
The grade requires use of interstitial free, stabilized steel.
Extra Deep Drawing Sheets of this quality should be specified for the most difficult parts
Steel Plus (EDDS+) having stringent drawing requirements. This grade requires the use
of interstitial free, stabilized steel.
Structural Steel (SS) These products are produced to specified mechanical property ranges
as designated in the ASTM standard. The properties are obtained
through control of carbon and manganese.
High Strength Low The products are produced to specified mechanical property ranges in
Alloy Steel (HSLAS) the ASTM standard through the additions of microalloying elements.
Specified Mechanical Properties Applications that require specific mechanical properties that are
not covered by Industry/Society standards, or customer specification,
agreed to mechanical properties must be met.
Specified Hardness For some applications, customers chose to specify a minimum,

maximum or a range of Rockwell hardness (minimum of 15 pt range).
When ordering this quality, chemistry cannot be specified. All ranges
might not be available. Orders for specified hardness will not be
accepted for gauges < 0.026 in. due to testing variability.


TEST REPORTING
Test data can be supplied by a number of different means.
Standard ladle analysis is the chemical analysis of a heat of steel and

is supplied on the corresponding AK Steel Load Tally and Shipping Tag
for each shipped coil.
Test Reports/Certifications can be supplied when reporting test data

for specification compliance. Standard test reports can include
mechanical properties, ladle chemistry, and coating weight data.
This data can be supplied in either English or metric units utilizing
ASTM, JIS or DIN test methods. The data can also be supplied on
the load tally if required.
A limited amount of test information can also be included on the

Shipping Tag. This includes ladle analysis, mechanical properties,
and coating weight.

CLAIM POLICIES
General The purpose of our claim policy is to support our customer’s manufacturing
performance. This requires thoughtful cooperation in settling claims.
Steel determined to be unusable because of mill related reasons should be
set aside for review with the appropriate AK Steel personnel. This includes
blanks, cut lengths, coils or slit mults from coils. When an individual coil or
slit mult contains an apparent high frequency of mill imperfections, it should
be set aside only after a minimum of 10% of the coil has been processed.

Material tested and certified to meet an agreed upon specification for
mechanical or physical properties is done under guidelines outlined by
ASTM, JIS or DIN testing requirements. Material and testing variations may
result in disputes over material conformance. In such cases, samples from the
area of suspected non-conformance must be secured for AK Steel to verify
compliance. Also of note, material is to be tested in the quarter position of
the width in the manner prescribed by the specification or determined by
the producing mill if no such specification requirement exists.
The customer can expect 98% satisfactory product in coil shipments

of Carbon Sheet Steel products and 97% satisfactory product in coil
shipments of High Strength Sheet products. If, because of coil ends or
mill related imperfections, these standards are not met, a claim for the
value of the material will be honored after review by appropriate
AK Steel personnel.
Exception: The Hot Rolled base product is, by definition, shipped

without further processing, therefore, the customer must accept without
claim, a maximum of 15 feet on either end of a coil that exceeds gauge
or width tolerances.
Some customers statistically evaluate production line performance,

i.e. breakage and line scrap. When negotiated prior to order acceptance,
AK Steel will recognize fair and reasonable line performance standards
such as SAE J424 - “Method for Determining Breakage Allowance for
Sheet Steel.“
Coil Breaks These guidelines reference breaks across the width of the coil caused by
discontinuous yielding of the strip as it processes.
Any processing that recoils on ID diameters less than 24 in. are not covered
by these guidelines.
HR
• HR Bands off of the Hot Strip Mill are subject to coil breaks upon
recoiling (regardless of grade applied).
• Coil break-free HR requires Temper Rolling (purchase order must designate
“coil breaks objectionable”).
CR/EG/Enameling Steels
• Properly processed EDDS/EDDS+ (I-F steel) is not subject to coil breaks
in an as-received condition or during subsequent processing.
• Because of equipment configuration and geometry there is a potential for
coil breaks on material over 0.060 in. (1.5 mm) thickness on CS-B and DS
Type B and UNIVIT in the as-received condition.

ZG/GA/AL
• Properly processed EDDS and EDDS+ (I-F substrate) coils are not
subject to coil breaks after coating in an as-received condition or during
subsequent processing.
• Properly processed DDS with a low carbon substrate (A-grade) is not
subject to coil breaks after coating-box anneal – temper rolling during
subsequent processing. However, due to roll diameter on the delivery
section of the galvanized line, at coil thicknesses above 0.060 in. (1.5 mm)
the coil coming off of the coating line may contain coil breaks. These
breaks will be “smoothed/masked” during temper rolling, but may still
be visible in the as-received coil.
• “ULTRASMOOTH” and “EXTRASMOOTH” are (along with “Temper Rolled”
on “Min Spangle”* finish) required to minimize the risk of coil breaks
during subsequent processing on coils with a low-carbon (A-grade)
substrate. Again, a low-carbon coil above 0.060 in. (1.5 mm) thickness
may contain smoothed/masked coil breaks in the as-received condition.
• CS Type B Min Spangle coils are subject to coil breaks/leveler breaks
in the as-received condition and during subsequent processing. An
“ULTRASMOOTH”, “EXTRASMOOTH”, or “Temper Rolled” finish is
required to minimize coil breaks during subsequent processing. This effect
is temporary due to this grade being prone to aging (typical YPE return
is 45 days). In thickness above 0.060 in. (1.5 mm) there may be
smoothed/masked coil breaks from the exit end of the coating line still
visible on these finishes.
*Aluminized does not have “Min Spangle” or “ULTRASMOOTH” designations.

Rust Discoloration and stain are inherent hazards when moisture, including
in-transit weather condensation; accumulates between laps of coils or between
sheets. AK Steel Corporation will not consider either deferred
or immediate claims for rust:
1. When material is ordered dry or without suitable surface treatment.
2. When orders specify packaging without at least the minimum protection.
3. When material is stored outdoors or not protected against moisture
or sudden temperature change.

Note: If the material arrives and the coil temperature is below the
dew point of the coil storage facility, do not unpackage the coil until
the coil reaches ambient temperature.
AK Steel will consider claims for wet storage stain only if the following
requirements have been met in normal transit:
1. Material is ordered Chemical Treated, Chemical Treated and Oiled, or Oiled.
2. Material is ordered with at least minimum weather protection. This
minimum weather protection includes complete wrapping with water
proof paper on coils and sheets or coil master stretch wrap packaging
on coils for truck and close rail car shipments.
3. All shipments are inspected immediately for moisture on the package.
If evident, a notation of the condition must be made on the shipping
papers in the presence of the steel hauler and the carrier notified.
For material sold FOB Mill, a claim should be filed against the carrier
and the AK Steel Corporation Sales Office notified.
4. If no moisture is evident on the outside packaging, the steel is
inspected immediately for moisture on in-transit condensation.
If present, a complaint is presented immediately.

Freight Claims These guidelines are intended to help clarify the proper procedures for
handling claims for material damaged or lost in transit. Complete
understanding of the following points by personnel involved in receiving and
claim processing will improve communications with carriers and may help to
expedite the settlement of claims. The consignee must accept all shipments
unless the goods are valueless. Goods which have a scrap value may not
be valueless. Refusal to accept goods invokes Section 4 of the Bill of Lading
contract, and the consignee may be found to be in default of the contract of
sale, resulting in back charges. Photographs of damaged goods are helpful
for settling claims quickly, especially if the damaged goods are photographed
in place on carrier’s equipment. The consignee must mitigate the loss by
storing and protecting the goods from further deterioration and assist in the
repair and salvage unless carrier agrees that goods are valueless. All costs
can be claimed. Loss and/or damage can be either visible on delivery to the
consignee or concealed and not discovered for an indeterminate length of
time. Each situation requires a specific method of handling as previously
outlined. Loss and/or damage claims must be filed with appropriate claim
agent of the delivering carrier within 9 months after delivery of material.
When shipments are made F.O.B. origin, the buyer files the claim. When
shipment is made F.O.B. destination, the seller files the claim. A formal
claim must include the following:
1. Original Bill of Lading or Bond of Indemnity
2. Original paid Freight Bill or Bond of Indemnity
3. Pricing letter stating cost of material.
4. Delivery receipt with loss and/or damage
notation (motor carrier only)
5. Inspection report
6. Itemized statement of all loss and/or damage
costs including mitigation costs
7. Photographs, if available
8. Any other supporting documents
For further assistance, contact your AK Steel Corporation Representative.
Claims Exceptions Full Hard Cold Roll is provided directly off the Cold Mill unless further
processing is stipulated by the customer. This product is shipped with off
gauge coil ends and thus is not subject to the yield standards established
for sheet mill products having additional processing.

GUIDELINES
Coil Weight A full weight coil is any coil weighing more than 80% of the specified
maximum coil weight which is negotiated with the customer on the basis of
our normal production practice. Up to 20% of the ordered item quantity
may include light weight coils. A light coil being any coil between 50% and
80% of the specified maximum coil weight. Normal production practice
requires that for “no weld“ orders or small order quantity orders acceptance
is based on minimum order quantities as stated on pages 2.10 and 2.11.
Weld Restrictions Under certain circumstances, customer processing requirements or ultimate
end use will involve removal of pickle line welds from cold reduced coils.
As these circumstances are confirmed the extra processing step is performed
to remove the weld. Consult your AK Steel representative for restrictive
weld capability.

Enameling Steel 5
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Products UNIVIT®, ASTM A424 Type 1, is melted to a specific chemistry

and is specially processed to allow direct-on cover coat porcelain
enameling without fear of carbon boiling or fishscaling.

VIT-PLUS®, ASTM A424 Type 2, is a controlled chemistry,
nondecarburized, aluminum killed, enameling steel. It is suited for
ground coat, ground coat + cover coat, and two coat-one fire
enameling systems (wet or dry; pickle or pickle free).
I-F Enameling Steel, ASTM A424 Type 3, is a special enameling

product that offers superior drawability and sag resistance,
and because it is interstitial-free, it is non-aging and nonfluting.
This product is suitable for ground coat porcelain enamel only.
UNIVIT, I-F Enameling Steel, and VIT-PLUS products will be sold on

an actual weight basis only. The product may be ordered to nominal
thickness (preferred) or to minimum thickness.
These products are described in ASTM A424.

Aluminized Steel 6
Type 1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Products Aluminized Steel Type 1 is a carbon sheet product coated with an

aluminum-silicon alloy coating. It is produced by a continuous hot dip
process. The aluminum-silicon alloy coating resists the destructive
effects of exposure to combinations of heat and corrosion. Aluminized
Steel Type 1 is ideal for applications involving temperatures up to
1250 °F and for moderately severe forming. This product, described
in ASTM A463, is available in four coating weights T1 13, T1 25,
T1 40, and T1 60. The approximate coating composition is 8% to 10%
silicon, the balance aluminum. Aluminized Steel Type 1 has the surface
characteristics of aluminum with the superior strength and lower cost
of steel. It has a satiny, matte finish but is also available with an extra
smooth (temper-rolled) finish where additional reflectivity or surface
uniformity is desired. Aluminized Steel Type 1 sheet products will be
sold on an actual weight basis only. The product may be ordered to
nominal thickness (preferred) or to a minimum thickness. T125 or
lighter is recommended to minimize flaking during difficult drawing
or forming operations.
Drawing Quality High Temperature (DQHT) is an Aluminized Type 1

steel that exhibits superior resistance to the formation of brittle,
dark-colored surface alloying at temperatures approaching 1050 °F.
Conventional aluminum coated steel alloys at about 850 °F. This grade
has formability characteristics approaching DDS and is subject
to strain aging.
ALUMI-THERM® is an aluminized low alloy steel that has excellent

mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. It is considerably
stronger than low carbon aluminized at temperatures above 900 °F.
It can be used in severe cyclic service up to 1400 °F and can
perform well at higher temperatures in some applications.

ZINCGRIP Steel 8
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Products ZINCGRIP® Steel is a carbon steel sheet product with a zinc coating applied by passing
the steel through a bath of molten zinc by a continuous hot dip process. Minimized Spangle
is ZINCGRIP that through control of the coating bath chemistry has no visible spangle.
It is available in the full range of coating weights and base metal qualities. It is used in
noncritical surface applications and is not guaranteed to be free from stretcher stain, luder
lines, or fluting. EXTRASMOOTH™ is a product that is produced by skin passing the coated
sheet with a small amount of reduction in thickness to smooth the surface and impart
resistance to stretcher strain and fluting. It is especially suited for applications where
appearance is important either as painted or unpainted. ZINCGRIP ULTRASMOOTH® is a
product that has been produced by a process that supplies a product with surface
appearance, uniformity, and consistency of quality that is superior to Extra Smooth.
Applications would be the more stringent surface quality requirements. These coatings
provide galvanic, as well as barrier protection. The product is available in a variety of
coating weights and surface finishes and is described in ASTM A653.
ZINCGRIP Steel products will be sold on an actual weight basis only. The product may be
ordered to nominal thickness or to minimum thickness.

basis. For example, a 60G/60G coating category requires a minimum
of 60 grams/square meter SST on each surface. Although the coating
weight is specified on a per-side basis, our standard product is coated
on both surfaces. The first number in the coating weight designates the
unexposed side. The second number in the coating weight designates
the exposed side. Standard practice unless requested is to supply coils
prime side out.
Extras for coating categories apply to hot dipped zinc type coatings.

Galvannealed Steel
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Products ZINCGRIP® Galvannealed Steel is a carbon steel sheet product with a zinc coating applied
by passing the steel through a bath of molten zinc by a continuous hot dip process. The
steel is then further processed in-line to fully alloy the coating. Zinc-Iron alloy coating is
not spangled and is normally dull gray in appearance. Minimized Spangle is ZINCGRIP GA
that through control of the coating bath chemistry has no visible spangle. It is available in
the full range of coating weights and base metal qualities. It is used in noncritical surface
applications and is not guaranteed to be free from stretcher stain, luder lines, or fluting.
ZINCGRIP GA EXTRASMOOTH is product that is produced by skin passing the coated
sheet with a small amount of reduction in thickness to smooth the surface and impart
resistance to stretcher strain and fluting. It is especially suited for applications where
appearance is important either as painted or unpainted. ZINCGRIP GA ULTRASMOOTH
is a product that has been produced by a process that supplies a product with surface
appearance, uniformity, and consistency of quality that is superior to EXTRASMOOTH.
Applications would be the more stringent surface quality requirements. The coating
provides galvanic, as well as barrier protection. The product is available in a variety
of coating weights and surface finishes and is described in ASTM A653.
ZINCGRIP Galvannealed Steel products will be sold on an actual weight basis only.
The product may be ordered to nominal thickness or to minimum thickness.

Coating Extras Product included in these categories is typically ordered in grams/

square meter and the coating weight is typically specified on a per-side
basis. For example, a 60A/60A coating category requires a minimum
of 60 g/m2 SST on each surface. Although the coating weight is specified
on a per-side basis, our standard product is coated on both surfaces.
The first number in the coating weight designates the unexposed side.
The second number in the coating weight designates the exposed
side. Standard practice unless requested is to supply coils prime
side out.
Extras for coating categories apply to hot dipped zinc type coatings.
Extras shown include the total coating on both sides.
Use this table for galvannealed products when coatings are designated
as g/m2 Coating weights other than those specified are subject to
inquiry for availability. However, the extra for the next higher

Appendix 13
GLOSSARY
Aging Changes in mechanical properties that occur over time in

low carbon steel causing the material to become stronger, less
ductile and prone to strain.
Annealing A process involving high-temperature heating and cooling

of the as-rolled cold rolled steel substrate to make it softer and more
formable.
Backer Coat Usually refers to the coating on the reverse side of a

prepainted sheet. The backer coating is generally not as narrowly
specified with reference to its color, thickness and composition as is
the topcoat.
Camber The deviation of a side edge from a straight line, the

measurement being taken on the concave side with a straight edge.
Carbon Steel Steel which owes its properties chiefly to carbon

without substantial amounts of other alloying elements; also known
as straight carbon steel or plain carbon steel. The maximum content
for the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted:
manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60.
Cast Analysis (heat analysis) Chemical analysis representative of

a specific heat of steel. (Ladle analysis is a deprecated term that is
replaced by cast analysis.)
Chemical Treatment A passivating treatment applied to metallic

coated products to retard formation of corrosion products (storage stain/
rust).
Coil Breaks Creases or ridges in sheet that appear as parallel lines

across the direction of rolling, and that generally extend the full width
of the sheet or strip.
Cold-Rolled Sheet This is manufactured from hot-rolled descaled

coils by cold reducing to the desired thickness, generally followed by
annealing to recrystallize the grain structure. Cold-rolled sheet is
manufactured from hot-rolled coils over 24 in. in width.
Cold-Rolled Strip This product is furnished in widths of 24 in.

and narrower with specific temper, specific edge or specific finish to
closer tolerances than cold-rolled carbon steel sheet.

Color Standard A painted sheet panel with a prescribed color of
paint representing the precise color it is intended to produce in the
prepainted sheet. A complete color standard definition will usually
include painted panels representative of the limits of acceptable
deviation from the precise standard color as well.
Continuous Casting A casting technique in which a slab is

continuously withdrawn through the bottom of the mold as it solidifies.
Conversion Coating The chemical treatment film applied to the

steel or metallic coated sheet prior to painting.
Corrosion Gradual chemical or electrochemical attack on a metal

by atmospheric moisture or other agents.
Crown The thickness increases from an edge measurement to the

center of a sheet.
Cut Edge Removes the hot mill edge. Coil ends will be cropped back
to gauge when cut edge is ordered.
Cut To Length Ordered when specific or discrete lengths are desired.
Deep Drawing An extreme condition of drawing. The term “deep

drawing“ is commonly used to describe metal stamping operations
which are a combination of drawing and severe stretching.
Drawing The shaping of a flat blank into a desired contour by

causing the metal to flow over a draw ring and around a punch.
Dry Film Thickness (DFT) The thickness of the dry paint film.
Ductility The ability to be deformed plastically without fracture.

In flat rolled steel, ductility is measured by mechanical properties
in a tensile test.
Elongation The percent increase of a given distance (usually 2 in.)

prior to fracture during tensile testing.
Embossed Sheet A sheet having a prominent, impressed texture

or pattern on its surface(s). If the defined texture is applied to one
surface only, it is most properly termed a coined surface. AK produces
coined steel only.
Extra Smooth Sheet Product produced to sheet by temper

rolling after coating to smooth the surface and impart resistance
to stretcher strain.
Finish Coat The top coat or exposed prime side paint film.
Flatness Flatness is a measure of maximum deviation from a flat

horizontal surface.
Flexibility The degree to which a paint film can withstand

deformation without significant change in color or appearance.

Gloss The property of a surface related to its ability to reflect light.
Hardness Resistance of metal to penetration of the surface.
Inclusions Non-metallic materials (such as oxides, sulfides

or silicates) in steel as cast.
Inclusion Shape Control The use of Rare Earth Metals or Calcium

alloys to control the morphology of inclusions, in order to provide
improved properties and formability for select applications.
Intercoat Adhesion The adherence which is observed between

the primer and topcoat of a paint system.
Killed Steel Steel deoxidized by silicon or aluminum to reduce the

oxygen content in the molten steel to a minimum prior to solidification
of the metal.
Leveling Flattening of rolled sheet by reducing or eliminating

distortions.
Lüders Lines (stretcher strain) Irregular surface markings or

depressions caused by localized plastic deformation resulting
from yield point elongation.
Matte Finish The surface roughness produced on sheet by temper

rolling with textured work, generally defined as 20 – 80 microinches.
Mechanical Properties The properties of a material that reveal

its elastic and plastic behavior when force is applied, for example
yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, etc.
Mil A term used to indicate thickness of 0.001 in.
Minimized Spangle The crystal structure produced on galvanized

sheet by either treating the coated sheet during solidification of the
zinc or by control of coating bath chemistry.
Oiling Application of a suitable rust-preventive oil to flat rolled

steel to retard rusting during shipment and storage. Although the oil
is intended as a corrosion inhibitor only, in some instances it may also
serve as a lubricant for subsequent fabricating operations.
Pencil Hardness A physical measurement of the hardness of a

paint film which is based on the resistance of the film to cut-through
by pencil leads of specified hardness. Pencil hardness values range
between 2B and 5H.
Pickling Removing surface oxides from metals by a chemical reaction.
Phosphatized Chemical treatment in a phosphate solution of

metallic coated sheet to prepare the surface for painting.
Prelubricant A lubricant applied to the sheet at the mill to enhance

formability.

Primer Coat The base coat of paint in a typical two coat paint system.
Product Analysis The chemical analysis of the finished steel.
Reflectivity (Reflectance) A term to indicate the percentage of

reflected light from a painted surface.
Roll Forming The fabrication process of deforming the metal sheet

by passing it through a consecutive series of rolls.
Salt Spray Test A moisture and corrosion resistance test employing

a controlled exposure of a sheet to a fog or mist of a salt solution
for a specified period of time.
Slitting The cutting of sheet stock coils to produce narrower widths.
T-Bend 0-, 1-, 2-, etc, A mechanical operation wherein a sheet

sample is bent back upon itself with the inside bend radius specified in
terms of the sheet thicknesses. Thus a 2-T Bend is a bend with an inside
radius two times the sheet thickness of the metal sheet being tested.
Temper Rolling A light cold reduction of the sheet steel. This

operation is performed to improve flatness, eliminate fluting and
stretch strain, and impart the desired surface finish.
Tensile Strength In tensile testing, the ratio of maximum load

to original cross sectional area. Also called Ultimate Strength.
Tension Leveling An operation in which sheet steel in coil form

is stretched beyond its yield point to provide a sheet with superior
flatness characteristics.
Tolerance Allowed limits of deviation from a specification.
Wash Coat A very thin paint film applied to the back side of
a prepainted sheet specified to have one finished side. The wash coat
provides protection in coiling, storage, fabricating and handling.
White Rust The corrosion product (zinc hydroxide, etc.) that forms
when galvanized sheet gets wet and is unable to dry.
Yield Point The load per unit of original cross-section area at

which a marked increase in the deformation of the specimen occurs
without increase of load.
Yield Point Elongation (also called Discontinuous Yielding) The

non-uniform plastic flow of a metal exhibiting a yield point in which
plastic deformation is inhomogeneously distributed.
Yield Strength The stress required to give the initial plastic

(permanent) deformation, at which a material exhibits a specified
deviation from proportionality of stress and strain. An offset of
0.2% is used for many metals.
