Fy = Minimum Yield Point

* For 16 Gage product Fy=50 KSI or Fy=30 KSI, must be specified at time of order.  Note all yield point requirements are specified by the engineer of record.

Upon request, Super Stud will fulfill requests for any of our components manufactured from steel meeting the minimum requirements of ASTM A924, Grade B, Fy(min) = 37 KSI and Grade C, Fy 9min) = 40 KSI

ASTM A924, entitled Standard Specification for Steel Sheet, Zinc Coated (Galvanized) by the Hot-Dip Process, Structural (Physical) Quality, cover sheet steel of structural (physical) quality with zinc coating.  Material of this quality is intended primarily for use in applications where mechanical or structural properties of the base metal are specified or required.  These properties include those indicated by tension, hardness and other accepted mechanical requirements.

Steels manufactured in accordance with ASTM A924 meet the minimum ductility requirements of the AISI Specification.  Steel ductility is critical to its formability during the rolling or braking process.  Ductility also affects the performance pf the cutting tips of screws fasteners used to connect steel framing.
