Hot rolled angle problems

Something odd going on with reports of poor steel quality and I note they mostly originate from small workshops or the internet, not large-scale steel consumers like car-makers or shipbuilders.

 

When I worked in a car factory and a shipyard (submarines), they were both very selective about who they bought their steel from, for production use and toolroom/machine shop use, based on research, testing and experience.  There is a wide variation in quality between sources. Steels ain’t just steels.
