You would request a MTR. You can request it from the supplier selling it, if not already included in the box. How can I find out what metals go into the strap looking material , that wall ties are made out of for aluminum concrete wall ties.

There are lots of different grades of aluminum just like there are lots of different grades of steel.

Concrete wall ties are made from high tenncel steel not aluminum That would be my guess also. The 2 salesman I talked to said there's some type of Aluminum that goes into them. Weather that's accurate information or not I don't know

IMO, you are not on the right track if you want to make wise investments with any extra cash you may have. Building wealth takes time. Get rich quick schemes are very effective at separating fools from their money. This book is the most influential investment and money book I have ever read, bar none. The Richest Man In Babylon by George S Clason :-)

Have to be some kind of steel, because they snap very easy when breaking off ties. Are the holes round and put a bullet looking pin and drop a wedge through it? yes

They are mild steel, with assorted thickness for different tensile strengths for building codes on what's being built. They are zinc coated as well not aluminized coated.
You don't need to pay for a MTR, all you have to do is look them up on the net and find the cert's on them ! I haven't gotten any more info on this, It must be the zinc . Probably a glitch in the supply chain. I bought any ties that were available in Indiana and some in Wisconsin.
