Conclusion/Analysis Base on the collected data you can determine that the steel is steel that has been cold rolled (0.2% carbon). Having an ultimate strength of 80,000 psi, ultimate compressive stress 60,000 psi, and an ultimate shear strength of 60,000 psi. We can also understand that steel can take a lot of torque applied to the material better than a cast, aluminum, or any softer metal. This experiment helps us understand why steel is used around the world on numerous projects as a material, it is chosen not only for the strength it has but also being cost effective. [Show More]
