Strange how steel plate has a distinct smell

@Azlotto 😄 I remember the smell of freshly photocopied paper. We used to sniff it in school as well. 😄

@Gusman Thanks for best comment.

@DeWayfarer This is the only steel plate we use that has a very distinctive smell. 🤷‍♂️

@Gusman different countries I suspect do things different ways.

Why I can only give my own experiences. USA still uses USA foundries.

@cherokeepatti Maybe it is the Q&T process which imbues it with the smell of the Q&T medium. 🤔

@Gusman not sure what that is but I know some things from different countries smell different. The dyed towels and washcloths from India are good but the ones fromPakistan stink to high heaven. I believe it is the differences in types of dyes. They were breaking out at least one cashier at Walmart who started wearing gloves due to it.

@SW-User Job lots are cut with Plasma, the scrap is cut up with Oxy/Acetylene.
