From Cashier Paper Roll to a Rusted Steel Coil

[tiking]

Nice idea & a good technique for getting it rusty.:thumb2:
Steel coil are sheet steel coiled to make it easier to transport, as it is rather long when straight. The steel is used to make anything you might want that uses steel sheet, car boy panels, fridges, washing machines etc. the list is endless. The only thing is the makers don't want them to go rusty!

Fortunately this one will not be going to any customers. It has been used as dead weight, for tuning in the scales that the coils are weigh on when they come off tve assembly line.

I used to be an engineer in a can factory. We would get coils of steel that weighed 6 tons each. The lorries only carried three at a time.

I've seen coils that weigh around 23 tons, and tve trucks that carry them, can only take one.
