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. In most tars, gas tanks arc* particularly vulnerable to damage from Using objects or rear end collisions. Though teriK* steel may dent, it seldom ruptures, und seams and pipe von* mxtior.s remain tight.
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. After tin* shell edges aic joined, trimjH-d and seam welded, filler pipes and fuel lines are soldered to tank surfaces.

Varieties of New l`$cs

IX*cp drawing qualities, vvchlahilitv and soldcrahilitv of term* s(vl aid particularly in making Miiat! fuel tanks vshkh require attaclied acces sories such as lids, spouts and handles.
Other applications emerge rath Sear, par ticularly lx-caux* manufacturers have discov ered that fabricating ojx-rations arc easily set up without tlx* need f<sr installing Ix-aw pr<x> essing equipment.

Term* sheet is used for plain ring gaskets, corrugated metal gaskets for valves and so cial asliestos fili<'l metal gaskets fiir petroleum refineries and chemical prxcssing plants.
Air Uamlling and Heating
So p h - firms qx-ctfv term* steel for parts of heat ew hangers, air filters, heater core assem blies. oil sp.ne heaters, engine cooling radia tors and similar equipment. Tle conversion from oil ]>alh to drv-tvpc air cleaning (levin's, partieularlv for protesting internal combus tion engines, has given (erne coaled sis'**! an even more imjvirtant role lx-caux* of its rust inhihiting (jualiliev. Once an oil hath <leaner is put into operation, the oil coating tends to resist rust, hut in drv cleaners the metal is continually evjxix-d to moi.ture. Term* evsated st<vl resists corrosion, lasts indefinitely and provides a base for juint finishes required on these products.
Importance of Corrosion Resistance
The corrosion resistance of term* steel has led to mnnv of its newer applications. For instance, fabricators of radio and television equipment make* a nuud>er of parts, inc luding chassis and case covers, from term* sheet lx*causc it need not lie plated or painted.
