Hi Crystallographic,

Thanks for the quick response.

So if I get it right the Terne SS is harder to work or form, but does SS being Terne coated make any difference for the finished product? Why is it mentioned if most use the mild steel version by doing it them selves. From what you have posted it sounds like it doesn't matter that much.

I think I've asked this before, so a SS gas tank really is not that different than a mild steel one, and building one with SS and the terne process coating, is for assembly, not really for protection of the tank from gas, water, rust and such.

Just asking to learn, and maybe some other readers might gain knowledge from this too. I'll be looking for the book too.

TX in advance!
Mr fixit
Chris
