Need help ID-ing steel bar (is is weldable)

Since you have already contacted steel suppliers, and patiently searched "metal color codes" and similar terminology without finding your answers quit trying to ID it and do some experimenting to find useful properties. After all, this is not an engineering group where exact parameters need to be known.............. Brian

Besides, Iggy.... who told you stainless steel wasn't (easily) weldable?

It would have been nice if you had left quoted what I did about the actual color(s), to save me from having to follow the thread back and cut-and-paste it to an editor in a spare window before moving upstream again:

I've seen posted code charts from other vendors, and there was a

So -- now we dig into Jorgensen's book to see whether there is an actual match. What I *might* have to tell you is that it does not appear under that description in their book, but we'll see.

When two colors are mentioned, there is some of each visible, one over the other, so your "yellow and gray" description would not work there, and I can skip that if I find it.

And, I'll have to list "close" ones, since I can't see your bar in person.

There is *no* mention of beige, or anything closer than brown.

There *is* a Yellow and gray, which is 1144 carbon steel

Most things in Jorgensen's book are bright primary colors to be harder to mistake. Nothing as light as a beige.

So -- it is someone else's code, not Jorgensen's.

Enjoy, DoN.
