Hi Peter,
Even here on the Sth Coast, they don't Know what Steel is in the CRS, Their claim is either
CRS. (Cold Rolled Steel) HRS. (Hot rolled, which is harder to work with than CRS or Zincanneal. (and the Chinese Zinc is terrible to work with)as it work hardens.
I have had these issues with our local supplier and even ones 150kms away on what is the actual Steel sheet they are supplying.
As most don't have data sheets on, or if you happen to deal with the same supplier for 100 years he can give you the answers you need.
Also the size of sheeting has been downgraded some, as all you can get now is .75 - .95 - 1.15 - 1.5 or 1.9.
I have noticed the work ability of CRS gets very thin on the .95. So lately body panels have been done in 1.15mm.
