Cold-rolled steel? What could possibly go wrong?

That is wild. Especially if it gets bad with 10 years of improperly certified steel.

On a darker note... there will most likely be Seppuku.

is this a quote or reference I’m missing? ‘cos cold working metals has its uses depending on what you need to do with the material.

I used to work steel antidumping cases. Cold-rolled is generally used in car body panels, appliances, and similar. It’s just a different way of annealing (big word!) the metal - cold-rolled has greater strength but is limited as to how you can shape/stamp it.

Annndddd that’s why if some parts properties are truly life safety slash mission critical you need to do (your own) final acceptance testing of the final formed part. Never take suppliers word for things - especially on initial orders. Certs can be forged, people lie, trust nobody (except hopefully your own internal metrology department).
