Back when the switch to 50ksi for wide flanges was occurring, it was widely known that the mills were rolling only 50ksi wide flanges, but stamping them as A36 and A572 for 36ksi and 50ksi requirements, as needed.
I have some just-fabricated new steel angles that need to be modified. Does anyone know if the mills routinely roll angles at higher grades, but call them A36? I'm curious whether I have a chance to take advantage of some higher strength. If there's a decent shot, I'll send off a coupon to be tested...
-5^2 = -25 ;-)
