32、ing is not alwaysevenly divided between the two surfaces of a sheet, nor is the coating evenlydistributed from edge to edge. However, it can normally be expected that not lessthan 40 % of the single-spot test limit will be found on either surface.A 792/A 792M 082include thickness, strength level, de
33、gree of restraint, relation-ship to rolling direction, chemistry, and base metal microstruc-ture. Table X2.1 lists the suggested minimum inside radii for90 cold bending for Structural Steels. They presuppose “hardway” bending (bend axis parallel to the rolling direction) andreasonably good shop form
34、ing practices. Where possible, theuse of larger radii or “easy way” bends are recommended forimproved performance.7.4.2 Fabricators should be aware that cracks may initiateupon bending a sheared or cold-worked edge. This is notconsidered to be a fault of the steel but is rather a function ofthe indu
