Where to Use Terne Coated Steel iUj nwu) M. fi(`/7\.\- Tor man/ years a primary material lot automotive components, terne coated steel is gaming ft der usage. Its good forming, welding and CC'rosion resistant characteristics make the material useful for gaskets and auto radiator parts, radio and television chassis, gutters, downspout elbows sod components of metal furniture.

Term* Sheet in Gas Tanki (-oijviiming approximately 70 to 7.V of total production of long terne sheet, uutoimv tnr gas tanks and oil and gas filters have for mam sears provided die major mo for tlic material. Because of its good eorrosion re* sM.mcc and high ductility of the coating *\shkh eliminates danger of chips of ilk* coating or oxidized steel passing <Mit of the tank to dog fuel lines), such sheet is "ell suited to these purpows. Also ftclptng to male term* steel a favored material for gas tatils is its mmsii.d resistance to iuipast.

Tin* good drawing rpiulilies of terne steel help to simplify stamping operations in tnaking gas tank shells (Fig. I); the coat also ads as a hihricnnt.
