What is high yield steel used for?
Due to the materials high yield (700Mpa min.) it can be used in a variety of load bearing applications. Popularly, the steel is used for cold formed components including cold pressed parts and sections. Typical applications include steel frames, load bearing beams and pipework.
What is high yield strength?
A metal that has a high yield strength can withstand high stress without permanent deformation. The yield strength of a bar of material is the maximum stress that can be applied along its axis before it begins to change shape.

What does the M in M6 stand for?
M6 threads are 6mm metric screws. The standard metric rack screw is called M6 x 1. The ‘M’ means it’s metric. Metric threads are used outside of the USA, and commonly in products by HP and other global entities. You can identify an M6 screw by measuring the diameter with a ruler.
