Billy,
SAE 950 is a high strength, low allow steel. Here are some details:
This type of steel has enhanced mechanical properties and, in most cases,
good resistance to atmospheric corrosion are obtained by the addition of
moderate amounts of one or more alloying elements other than carbon.
Steels of this type are normally furnished in the hot rolled or annealed
condition to minimum mechanical properties. They are not intended for
quenching and tempering. Where these steels are used for fabrication by
welding, no preheat or postheat is required. These steels may be obtained
in the standard shapes or forms normally available in carbon steel. This
steel has a high strength-to -weight ratio. Typical applications are
automotive bumper face bars, truck bodies, frames and structural members.
Properties: (for material thickness up to 1/2")
Minimum yield point: 50,000 psi
Minimum tensile strength: 70,000 psi
