Kloeckner Metals stocks a variety of galvanized steels, including forming steel type A, or FS-A.
| Grades | Size Range | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gauge | Width | Length | |
| Galvanized FS-A Steel | 8 Ga. 0.0217" - 30 Ga. 0.1382" | 36" - 72" | 96" - 120" |
FS-A is low-carbon steel that has a lower yield strength for easy forming. FS-A stands for forming steel type A. This steel is optimal for applications where surface requirements are more challenging than commercial steel applications. Some of these applications include door components, elevators, framing, mounts, and more.
This steel is composed of a maximum carbon content of 0.1%. This is what differentiates FS-A from FS-B. FS-B has a higher carbon content than FS-A. This makes FS-A more formable and malleable for a variety of applications.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Forming steel type A is used in a variety of industries where surface requirements are more demanding. These industries include the appliance, automotive, and construction industries.
FS-A has a multitude of applications. It is commonly used in applications where surface requirements are more demanding than for commercial steel. These applications include door components, elevators, framing, ladders, mounts, railing, and more.
Due to forming steel type A’s low carbon content, it is easily machinable and formable. FS-A is composed of a maximum of 0.1% carbon content.
FS-A is easily weldable due to its low carbon content.

ANSWER:
Forming steel is low carbon steel that is easily formable. This means the steel can be bent, cut, and shaped into a multitude of different shapes and sizes.
ANSWER:
The A is FS-A stands for type A. Type A forming steel has a lower carbon content than type B forming steel. This means type A is more formable and stretchable.
