Discount Steel does not list it as AKDQ, however, and they have no idea what I’m talking about either.
Is there a difference in how AKDQ is manufactured, even though it’s still 1008 CRS?

I do not know in the US but here in OZ there is a difference
cold rolled only, is harder then cold rolled CA3 - (CA3 is our temper code)
