Annex A2 lists the dimensions of some shape profiles. 1.4 Appendix X1 describes the production and some of the characteristics of coiled product from which structural pilates, shapes, sheet piling, and bars may be produced. 1.5 Appendix X2 provides information on the variability of tensile properties in plates and structural shapes. 1.6 Appendix X3 provides information on weldability. 1.7 This specification also covers a group of supplemen- tary requirements that are applicable to several of the above specifications as indicated therein. These are provided for use ‘when additional testing or inspection is desired and apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the order. 1.8 In case of any conflict in requirements, the require- ments of the individual material specification shall prevail ‘over those of this general specification. 1.9 The purchaser may specify additional requirements that do not negate.any of the provisions of this general specification or of the individual material specifications. Such additional requirements, the acceptance of which are subject to negotiation with the supplier, must be included in the order information (see Section 4). 1.10 For purposes of determining conformance with this specification and the various material specifications refer- enced in 1.1, values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values in accordance with the rounding method of Practice ED, 1.11 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be@) acjacm used independently of the other. Combining values from the ‘two systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi- cation. 1.12 This specification and the applicable material speci- fications are expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units. 2.

(75 mm] or greater. Structural shape size groupings used for tensile property classification are listed in Table A. 3.1.2.2 bar size shapes—tolled flanged sections having a maximum dimension of the cross section less than 3 in, (75 mm]. 3.1.2.3 “W" shapes—are doubly-symmetric, wide-flange shapes used as beams or columns whose inside flange surfaces are substantially parallel. A shape having essentially the same nominal weight and dimensions as a “W” shape listed in Table A but whose inside flange surfaces are not parallel may also be considered a “W” shape having the same nomenclature as the tabulated shape, provided its average flange thickness is essentially the same as the flange thickness of the “W" shape. 3.1.24 “HP” shapes—are wide-flange shapes generally used as bearing piles whose flanges and webs are of the same ‘nominal thickness and whose depth and width are essentially the same. 3.1.2.5 “S" shapes—doubly-symmetric shapes produced {in accordance with dimensional standards adopted in 1896 by the Association of American Steel Manufacturers for American Standard beam shapes. The essential part of these standards is that the inside flange surfaces of American Standard beam shapes have approximately 16% % slope. 3.1.26 “M" shapes—doubly-symmetric shapes that cannot be classified as “W,” “S,” or “HP” shapes. 3.1.2.7 °C” shapes—channels produced in accordance with dimensional standards adopted in 1896 by the Associa~ tion of American Steel Manufacturers for American Stan- dard channels. The essential part of these standards is that the inside flange surfaces of American Standard channels hhave approximately a 16% % slope. 3.1.2.8 “MC” shapes—channels that cannot be classified as “C shapes. 3.1.2.9 “L” shapes—shapes having equal-leg and unequal- leg angles. 3.1.3 Sheet Piling—steel sheet piling consists of rolled sections that can be interlocked, forming a continuous wall when individual pieces are driven side by side. 3.1.4 bars—rounds, squares, and hexagons, of all sizes, flats 1¥%6« in. (0.2031 in.) [over 5 mm and over in specified thickness, not over 6 in, [150 mm] in specified width; and flats 0.230 in, [over 6 mm] and over in specified thickness, over 6 to 8 in, [150 to 200 mm] inclusive, in specified width. 3.1.5 exclusive—when used in relation to ranges, as for ranges of thickness in the tables of permissible variations in dimensions, is intended to exclude only the greater value of the range. Thus, a range from 60 to 72 in, [1500 to 1800 mm] exclusive includes 60 in. {1500 mm}, but does not include 72 in. [1800 mm}. 3.1.6 rimmed steel—steel containing sufficient oxygen to give a continuous evolution of carbon monoxide during soldification, resulting in a case or rim of metal virtually free of voids. 3.1.7 semi-killed steel—incompletely deoxidized steel containing sufficient oxygen to form enough carbon mon- ‘oxide during solidification to offset solidification shrinkage. SRETE eo e245 Bog B4RSBEaAS FTESSzRs ot 1e ® ss ly Xe ly xd 6 o se ny qb agjacm 3.1.8 capped stee!—rimmed steel in which the rimming action is limited by an early capping operation. Capping may be carried out mechanically by using a heavy metal cap on a bottle-op mold or it may be carried out chemically by an addition of aluminum or ferrosilicon to the top of the molten steel in an open-top mold. 3.1.9 killed steel—steel deoxidized, either by addition of strong deoxidizing agents or by vacuum treatment, to reduce the oxygen content to such a level that no reaction occurs ‘between carbon and oxygen during solidification. 3.1.10 groupings for tensile property classification—in some of the material specifications, the tensile property requirements vary for different sizes of shapes due to mass effect, ete. For the convenience of those using the specifica- tions, the various sizes of shapes have been divided into ‘groups based on section thickness at the standard tension test location (webs of beams, channels, and zees; legs of angles; and stems of tees). The material specifications designate shape sizes by reference to the group designations. The groupings are shown in Table A. 3.1.11 mill edge—the normal edge produced by rolling between horizontal finishing rolls. A mill edge docs not conform to any definite contour. Mill edge plates have two mill edges and two trimmed edges. 3.1.12 universal mill edge—the normal edge produced by rolling between horizontal and vertical finishing rolls. Uni- versal mill plates, sometimes designated UM Plates, have ‘two universal mill edges and two trimmed edges. 3.1.13 sheared edge—the normal edge produced by shearing, Sheared edge plates are trimmed on all edges. 3.1.14 gas cut edge—the edge produced by gas flame cutting. 3.1.15 special cut edge—usually the edge produced by gas flame cutting involving special practices such as pre-heating or post-heating, or both, in order to minimize stresses, avoid ‘thermal cracking and reduce the hardness of the gas cut edge. In special instances, special cut edge may be used to designate an edge produced by machining. 3.1.16 sketch—when used to describe a form of plate, denotes a plate other than rectangular, circular, or semi- circular. Sketch plates may be furnished to a radius or with four or more straight sides. 3.1.17 normalizing—a heat treating process in which a steel plate is reheated to a uniform temperature above the upper critical temperature and then cooled in air to below the transformation range. 3.1.18 plate-as-rolled—when used in relation to the loca- tion and number of tests, the term refers to the unit plate rolled from a slab or directly from an ingot. It does not refer to the condition of the plate. Ordering Information 4.1 Orders should include the following information, as necessary, to adequately describe the desired material: 4.1.1 ASTM designation and grade, etc. (if applicable), 4.1.2 Name of material (shapes, plates, bars), 4.1.3 Shape designation, or size and thickness or diam- ter, and length, 4.1.4 Quantity (weight [mass] or number of pieces), 4.1.5 Condition, if other than as-rolled (normalized, etc.), 4.1.6 Either structural products from coil or discrete cut — 1s Tengths of flat product may be supplied, unless one is specifically excluded on the order (see Appendix X!), 4.1.7 Should the processor (5.4.2) intend to qualify plates, shapes, sheet piling, or bars cut from a coiled product as structural products, the order to the manufacturer (5.4.1) should state the intended ASTM specification designation, srade, and type, 4.1.8 Mechanical property test report requirements, if any, 4:1.9 Thermal treatment of test specimens by the mill, if required (see 6.2 and 6,3), and 4.1.10 Supplementary requirements, if any, including any additional information called for in the supplementary requirements, 5. Manufacture 5.1 Unless otherwise specified in the material specifica- tion, the steel shall be made by the open-hearth, basic- ‘oxygen, or electric-furnace process. Additional refining by ‘vacuum-areremelt (VAR) or electroslag-remelt (ESR) is permitted. '.2 The steel may be cast in stationary molds or may be strand cast. 5.2.1 Strand Cast: .1 When heats of the same nominal chemical com- position are consecutively strand cast at one time, the heat umber assigned to the cast product may remain unchanged until all ofthe steel in the cast product is from the following heat, 5.2.1.2 When two consecutively strand cast heats have different nominal chemical composition ranges, the manu- facturer shall remove the transition material by an estab- lished procedure that positively separates the grades. 5.3 Structural products are produced in either discrete cut lengths of flat product or from coils. 5.3.1 Structural products produced from coil means struc- tural products that have been cut to individual lengths from coiled product and are furnished without heat treatment. For the purposes of this paragraph, stress relieving is not considered to be a heat treatment. 3.3.2 Structural products that are heat treated (except stress relieving) after decoiling shall be considered to be discrete cut lengths of flat product. 5.4 When structural products are produced from coils: 5.4.1 The manufacturer directly controls one or more of the operations (that is, melting, rolling, coiling, etc.), that affect the chemical composition or the mechanical proper- ties, or both, of the material 5.4.2 The processor decoils, cuts to length, and marks; performs and certifies tests, examinations, repairs, inspec- tion, or operations not intended to affect the properties of the ‘material. The processor may subsequently heat treat the structural product (see Section 6). Specific sections of this specification for which the processor is responsible are 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, and 19, 5.4.3 When part of a heat is rolled into discrete lengths of flat product and the balance of the heat into coiled product, each part must be tested separately. 5.4.4 Structural products produced from coils shall not contain splice welds, unless previously approved by the purchaser.ib agjacm 6. Heat Treatment 6.1 When material is required to be heat treated, the heat treatment may be performed either by the manufacturer, processor, or fabricator unless otherwise specified in the ‘material specification. 6.2 When heat treatment is to be performed by other than the material manufacturer, the order shall so state. 6.2.1 When heat treatment is to be performed by other than the material manufacturer, the material shall be ac- cepted on the basis of tests made on specimens taken from full thickness coupons heat treated in accordance with the requirements specified in the material specification or on the order. If the heat-treatment temperatures are not specified, the manufacturer or processor shall heat treat the coupons under conditions he considers appropriate. The purchaser shall be informed of the procedure followed in heat treating. the specimens. 6.3 When heat treatment is to be performed by the ‘manufacturer or processor, the material shall be heat treated as specified in the material specification. The purchaser may specify the heat treatment to be used provided it is not in conflict with the requirements of the material specification. 6.4 When normalizing is to be performed by the fabri- cator, it may be accomplished by heating uniformly for hot forming. The temperature to which the products are heated for hot forming shall not significantly exceed the normalizing. temperature, 6.5 When no heat treatment is required, the manufacturer ‘or processor may, at his option, heat treat the products by normalizing, stress relieving, or normalizing and then stress relieving to meet the material specification. 6.6. approved by the purchaser, cooling rates faster than those obtained by cooling in air are permissible for improve- ‘ment of the toughness, provided the plates are subsequently tempered in the temperature range from 1100 to 1300°F [595 to 705°C}. 7. Chemical Analysis 7.1 Heat Analysis—An analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufacturer to determine the percentage of ‘carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and any other ele- ments specified or restricted by the applicable specification. This analysis shall be made from a test sample preferably taken during the pouring of the heat. The heat analysis shall be reported to the purchaser or his representative and shall conform to the heat analysis requirements of the applicable specification. 7.1.1 When vacuum-are-remelting or electroslag remelt- ing is used, a heat is defined as all the ingots remelted from a single primary melt, The heat analysis shall be obtained from ‘one remelted ingot, or the product of one remelted ingot, of each primary melt providing the heat analysis of the primary ‘melt meets the heat analysis requirements of the material specification. If the heat analysis of the primary melt does not meet the heat analysis requirements of the material specification, one test sample shall be taken from the product of each remelted ingot. In either case, the analyses so obtained from the remelted material shall conform to the heat analysis requirements of the applicable specification. 7.1.2 In addition to the elements specified by the appli- cable specification, test reports shall include for information 16 the chemical analyses for copper, columbium, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, silicon and vanadium. When the amount of copper, ‘chromium, nickel, molybdenum or silicon is less than 0.02 %, the analysis may be reported as “<0.02 %.” When the amount of columbium or vanadium is less than 0.008 %, the analysis may be reported as “0,008 %.” 7.2 Product Analysis—The purchaser may analyze fin- ished material representing each heat. Sampling shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A751. The chemical composition thus determined shall conform to the requirements of the product specification subject to the product analysis tolerances in Table B. If a range is specified, the determinations of any element in a hheat may not vary both above and below the specified range. Rimmed or capped steel is characterized by a lack of homogeneity in its composition, especially for the elements carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur, Therefore, the limitations for these elements shall not be applicable unless misapplica- tion is clearly indicated. 7.3 Referee Analysis—For referee purposes, Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751 shall be used. 8. Metallurgical Structure 8.1 When a grain size is specified, it shall be specified as fine austenitic grain size or coarse austenitic grain size. ‘Austenitic grain size shall be determined in accordance with ‘Test Methods E 112. 8.2 Coarse Austenitic Grain Size—When coarse austenitic grain size is specified, steel having grain size number of 1 to 5 as determined by the method described in 8.1 shall be acceptable, Conformance to the specified grain size for at Teast 70 % of the area examined shall constitute the basis of acceptance. One test per heat shall be made and the grain size results shall be reported. 8.3 Fine Austenitic Grain Size: 8.3.1 When fine austenitic grain size is specified, steel having grain size number 5 or higher as determined by the ‘method described in 8.1 shall be acceptable. Conformance to the specified grain size for at least 70 % of the area examined shall constitute the basis of acceptance. One grain size test per heat shall be performed except as described in 8.3.2 and the grain size results shall be reported. 8.3.2 When aluminum is used as the grain refining element and on heat analysis the aluminum content is not fess than 0.020 % total aluminum, or alternatively, 0.015 % acid soluble aluminum, the fine austenitic grain size require- ‘ment shall be deemed fulfilled and the testing requirement of 8.1 shall be waived. The aluminum content shall be reported if the testing requirement is waived. 8.3.3 When specified on the order, one grain size test (see 8.1) per heat shall be made regardless of type or content of grain refining element. Austenitic grain size shall conform to 83, 8.3.4 Elements other than aluminum may be used for grain refining, In such instances, the grain size test of 8.1 Shall be required. The content of such elements shall be reported with the heat analysis 9. Quality 9.1 General—The material shall be free of injuriousqb agjaem defects and shall have a workmanlike finish. Nore 2—Unless otherwise specified, structural quality stels are rormally furnished in the as-olled condition and subjected to visual inspection by the manufacturer. Non-injurious surface or internal imperfections or both may be present in require conditioning by the purchaser to improve the appearance of the ‘feel or in preparation for welding, coating, or other further processing. ‘More resritve requirements may be specified by invoking supplo- ‘mentary requirements or by agreement between purchaser and supplier Tm the event of any material exhibiting injurious defects during subsequent fabrication, such material shall be deemed not to comply with the specification and shall be rejected andthe supplier notified. (See 16.2.) Fabricators should be aware that cracks may initiate upon ‘bending a sheared or burned edge during the fabrication process. This is ‘ot considered 10 be a fault of the steel but is rather a function of the induced cold-work or heat-ffected zone. ‘The conditioning requirements in 9.2, 9.3, and 9.4 limit the coodi- toning allowed to be performed by the manufacturer. Conditioning of {imperfections beyond the limits of 92, 9.3, and 9.4 may be performed ‘by parties other than the manufacturer atthe discretion of the purchaser. 9.2 Plate Conditioning: 9.2.1 Plates may be conditioned by the manufacturer or processor for the removal of imperfections or depressions on the top and bottom surfaces by grinding, provided the area sround is well faired without abrupt changes in contour and the grinding does not reduce the thickness of the plate by (I) more than 7% under the nominal thickness for plates ordered to weight per square foot or {mass per square metre], bbut in no case more than % in. [3 mm]; or (2) below the permissible minimum thickness for plates ordered to thick- ness in inches or millimetres. 9.2.2 Imperfections on the top and bottom surfaces of plates may be removed by chipping, grinding, or arc-air ‘gouging and then by depositing weld metal (see 9.5), subject to the following limiting conditions: 9.2.2.1 The chipped, ground, or gouged arca shall not exceed 2 % of the area of the surface being conditioned. 9.2.2.2 After removal of any imperfections preparatory to welding, the thickness of the plate at any location must not bbe reduced by more than 30 % of the nominal thickness of the plate, (Specification A 131/A 131M restricts the reduc- tion in thickness to 20 % maximum.) 9.2.3 The edges of plates may be conditioned by the ‘manufacturer or processor to remove injurious imperfections by grinding, chipping, or arc-air gouging and welding (see 9.5). Prior to welding, the depth of depression, measured from the plate edge inward, shall be limited to the thickness of the plate, with a maximum depth of 1 in. [25 mm]. 9.3 Structural Size Shapes, Bar Size Shapes, and Steel ‘Sheet Piling Conditioning: 9.3.1. These products may be conditioned by the manufac- turer for the removal of injurious imperfections or surface epressions by grinding, or chipping and grinding, provided the area ground is well faired without abrupt changes in Contour and the depression does not extend below the rolled surface by more than (1) Yaz in. [1 mm, for material less than % in, [10 mm] in thickness; (2) “is in. [2 mm}, for ‘material %4 to 2 in, [10 to 50 mm] inclusive in thickness; or (3) Ye in, (3 mm), for material over 2 in. (50 mm} in thickness 9.3.2 Imperfections that are greater in depth than the limits previously ised may be removed and then weld metal deposited (see 9.5), subject to the following limiting condi- tions: 9.3.2.1. The total area of the chipped or ground surface of any piece prior to welding shall not exceed 2 % of the total surface area of that piece. 9.3.2.2 The reduction of thickness of the material re- sulting from removal of imperfections prior to welding shall not exceed 30 % of the nominal thickness at the location of the imperfection, nor shall the depth of depression prior to welding exceed 1 in, [32 mm] in any case except as noted in 9.3.2.3, 9.3.2.3 The toes of angles, beams, channels, and zees and the stems and toes of tees may be conditioned by grinding, chipping, or arcair gouging and welding (see 9.5). Prior to welding, the depth of depression, measured from the toe inward, shall be limited to the thickness of the material at the ‘base of the depression, with a maximum depth limit of ¥2 in, [12.5 mm}, 9.3.24 The interlock of any sheet piling section may be conditioned by welding (see 9.5) and grinding to correct or build up the interlock at any location not to exceed 2 % of the total surface area. 9.4 Bar Conditioning: 9.4.1 Bars may be conditioned by the manufacturer for the removal of imperfections by grinding, chipping, or some other means, provided the conditioned area is well faired and the affected sectional area is not reduced by more than the permissible variations prescribed in the applicable tables designated in Section 13. 9.4.2 Imperfections that are greater in depth than the limitations of 9.4.1 may be removed by chipping or grinding and then by depositing weld metal (see 9.5) subject to the following limiting conditions: 9.4.2.1 The total area of the chipped or ground surface of any piece, prior to welding, shall not exceed 2 % of the total surface area of the piece. 9.4.2.2 The reduction of sectional dimension of a round, ‘square, or hexagon bar, or the reduction in thickness ofa flat bar, resulting from removal of an imperfection, prior to welding, shall not exceed 5% of the nominal dimension or thickness at the location of the imperfection. 9.4.2.3 For the edges of flat bars, the depth of the conditioning depression prior to welding shall be measured from the edge inward and shall be limited to a maximum depth equal to the thickness of the flat bar or ¥ in. [12.5 mm}, whichever is less. 9.5. Repair by Welding: 9.5.1. Steels Other Than Quenched and Tempered: 9.5.1.1 All welding shall be performed by competent welders using low hydrogen welding electrodes conforming to both the proper series and latest issue of AWS Specifica- tion A5.1 or AWS Specification AS.5. The electrodes shall be protected from moisture during storage and use. 9.5.1.2 The manufacturer or processor shall establish and follow documented welding procedures that are appropriate for the material being welded. 9.5.2 Quenched and Tempered Steels: 9.5.2.1 When so specified in the purchase order, prior approval for repair by welding shall be obtained from the purchaser. 9.5.2.2 The manufacturer or processor shall establish and@h agjacm follow the documented welding procedures that are appro- priate for the material being welded. When specified on the purchase order, such procedures shall be subject to approval by the purchaser. The welding operator shall be competent to follow such procedures. 9.5.2.3 After removal of any imperfections and prior to welding, the cavity shall be examined by a magnetic particle method or a liquid penetrant method to ensure that the imperfection has been completely removed. When magnetic particle examination is employed, the cavity shall be exam- ined parallel and normal to the length of the cavity. 9.5.2.4 Electrodes shall be protected from moisture during storage and use. 9.5.2.5 Electrodes and base metal shall be free of hydro- gen-producing contaminants such as oil, grease, or other ‘organic materials. The base metal shall be maintained in a dry condition during welding. 9.5.2.6 For material in its heat-treated condition, all welding shall be performed using either the shielded metal- arc (SMA) or gas metal-are (GMA) process. For SMA welding, low hydrogen electrodes conforming to the latest edition of AWS Specification A5.5 shall be employed. The electrodes shall be selected to provide weld-metal deposits compatible with the minimum specified base metal proper- ties. Moisture content shall not exceed the tolerable level for the steel being welded. For GMA welding, any composition that provides weld-metal deposits compatible with the min- imum specified base metal properties may be employed. Gases used for shielding shall be of welding quality. When weld repairs by either process are to be post-weld heat treated, special care must be exercised in selection of electrodes to avoid those compositions which embrittle as a result of such heat treatment. 9.5.2.7 The heat-affected zone of quenched and tempered alloy steels may be affected adversely by excessive heat input or excessive preheating, or both. Similarly, insufficient pre- heat and heat input in the welding of quenched and tempered alloy steels may result in undesirable defects. Therefore, suitable combinations of heat input and preheat (including interpass temperature) shall be employed. 9.5.2.8 For material that is to be quenched and tempered after repair-welding, electrodes for SMA or GMA welding shall be selected to provide weld deposits whose mechanical properties after heat treatment meet the requirements of the base metal. 9.5.2.9 Repairs on material that is subsequently thermally ‘treated at the mill shall be examined after heat treatment; repairs on material that is not subsequently thermally treated at the mill shall be examined no sooner than 48 h after welding. In either case the repaired area shall be examined by one of the methods and in the same manner prescribed in 9.5.23. 9.5.2.10 The location of weld repairs shall be marked on the finished piece. 9.5.3 Repair Quality—The welds and adjacent heat-af- fected zone shall be sound and free of cracks, the weld metal being thoroughly fused to all surfaces and edges without undercutting or overlap. Any visible cracks, porosity, lack of fusion, or undercut in any layer shall be removed prior to deposition of the succeeding layer. Weld metal shall project at least “is in, (2 mm) above the rolled surface after welding, 18 and the projecting metal shall be removed by chipping or grinding, or both, to make it flush with the rolled surface, and to produce a workmanlike finish, 9.54 Inspection of Repair—The manufacturer or pro- cessor shall maintain an inspection program to inspect the work to see that: 9.5.4.1 Imperfections have been completely removed. 9.54.2 The limitations specified above have not been exceeded. 9.5.4.3 Established welding procedures have béen fol- lowed, and 9.5.4.4 Any weld deposit is of acceptable quality as defined above. 10. Test Methods 10.1 All tests shall be conducted in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370. 10.2 Yield strength may be determined cither by the 0.2 % offiet method or by the 0.5 % extension under load ‘method unless otherwise stated in the material specification. 10.3 Rounding Procedures—For purposes of determining conformance with the specification, a calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest 1 ksi [5 MPa] tensile and yield strength, and to the nearest unit in the right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting value for other values in accordance with the rounding method given in Practice E29, 10.4 For fullscction test specimens of angles, the cross- sectional area used for calculating the yield and tensile strengths shall be a theoretical area calculated on the basis of the weight of the test specimen (see 13.1). 11, Tension Tests i 11.1 Condition—Test specimens shall be prepared for testing from the material in its delivered condition except that test specimens for heat-treated material may be from a separate piece of full thickness or full section from the same heat similarly treated. 11.1.1 When the plate is heat treated with a cooling rate faster than stll-air cooling from the austenitizing tempera ture, one of the following shall apply in addition to other requirements specified herein: | 11.1.1.1 ‘The gage length of the tension test specimen shall be taken at least 17 from any as-heat treated edge where Tis the thickness of the plate and shall be at least “2 in. [12.5 mm] from flame cut or heat-affected-zone surfaces. ILLL2 A steel thermal buffer pad, 17 by 1T by at least 37, shall be joined to the plate edge by a partial penetration ‘weld completely sealing the buffered edge prior to heat ‘treatment. 1.1.1.3 Thermal insulation or other thermal barriers shall be used during the heat treatment adjacent to the plate edge where specimens are to be removed. It shall be demonstrated that the cooling rate of the tension test specimen is no faster than, and not substantially slower than, that attained by the method described in 11.1.1.2. 11.1.1.4 When test coupons cut from the plate but heat ‘treated separately are used, the coupon dimensions shall be not less than 37° by 37 by T and each tension specimen cut from it shall meet the requirements of 11.1.1.1. ILLL5 Ifcooling rate data for the plate and cooling rate@) acjacm control devices for the test specimens are available, the test specimens may be heat treated separately in the device. This method shall require prior approval of the purchaser. 11.2 Orientation—For plates wider than 24 in, [600 mm), test specimens shall be taken such that the longitudinal axis of the specimen is transverse to the final direction of rolling of the plate. Test specimens for all other products shall be taken such that the longitudinal axis of the specimen is parallel to the final direction of rolling. 11.3 Location: 113.1 Plates—Test specimens shall be taken from a corner of the plate. 11.3.2 W, HP, S and M Shapes with Flanges 6 in. or Wider-—Test specimens shall be selected from a point in the flange as near as practicable to 4 the distance from the flange centerline to the flange toe. 11.3.3 Shapes Other Than Those in 11.3.2—Test speci- ‘mens shall be selected from the webs of beams, channels, and ees, from the legs of angles and bulb angles and from the stems of rolled tees. Alternatively, test specimens for angles ‘may consist of the full section, provided that the elongation acceptance criteria are increased accordingly. (See 11.6.2) 11.34 Bars: 11.3.4.1 Test specimens for bars to be used for pins and rollers less than 3 in, [75 mm] in diameter shall be taken so that the axis is midway, if practicable, between the center and the surface. Test specimens for pins and rollers 3 in. (75 mm] and over in diameter should be taken so that the axis is 1 in, [25 mul from the surface. 11.3.4.2 Test specimens for bars other than those covered bby 11.3.4.1 shall be taken as specified in Annex Al of Test Methods and Definitions A 370. 114 Number of Tests—Except as specified in 11.4.2, two ‘tests shall be made from each heat in each strength grada- tion, where applicable, with the test coupons being taken from different as-produced pieces. 114.1 Thickness Variations Requiring Thick/Thin Test- ing—See Table C. 114.2 Structural Products Provided from Coils: 11.4.2.1 When structural products are provided from coils, tension tests shall be taken from not less than two coils from each heat and each strength gradation where applicable, if more than one coil from the heat is to be qualified by the tension tests. If only one coil from a heat is to be qualified, tests need only be taken from the coil to be qualified. 11.4.2.2 For thickness variations requiring Thick/Thin ‘Tension Testing, see Table D. 11.4.2.3 Two tension tests shall be taken from each coil, tested. One tension-test specimen shall be taken immediately prior to the first structural product produced to the quali- fying specification and a second test shall be taken from the approximate center lap. If, during decoiling, the amount of ‘material decoiled is less than that required to reach the approximate center lap, the second test for the qualification of particular shipment may be taken from a location adjacent to the end of the innermost portion shipped. For successive shipments from the same coil, an additional test shall be taken adjacent to the innermost portion shipped until atest is obtained from the approximate center lap. 115.

The axis of the specimen shall be located, as nearly as practicable, midway between the center of thickness and the top or bottom surface of the plate. 11.514 Test specimens for quenched and_ tempered plates over 1'/ in. [40 mm} in thickness shall conform to the Tequirements as shown in Fig. 4 of Test Methods and Definitions A 370, for the 0.500 in. (12.5 mm] diameter specimen. The axis of the specimen shall be located, as nearly as practicable, midway between the center of thick- ness and the top of bottom surface of the plate. 11.5.2 Shapes: 11,5.2.1 Except when angles are tested in full section, tension test specimens for material % in. [20 mm] and under in thickness shall be the full thickness of the material. The test specimen shall conform to the requirements of Fig. 3 of Test Methods and Definitions A 370 for either the 1¥2-in. {40-mm] wide specimen or the Y-in. [12.5-mm] wide specimen. 11.5.2.2 For material up to 4 in. [100 mm], inclusive, in thickness, tension test specimens may be the full thickness of ‘the material and conform to the requirements of Fig. 3 of Test Methods and Definitions A 370, for the 1¥-in. [40- mm] wide specimen, when adequate testing machine ca- pacity is available. 11,5.2.3 For material over ¥% in.

[12.5 mm} diameter specimen. The axis of the specimen shall be located, as practicable, midway between the center of thick- ness and the top or bottom surface of the material. 11.5.3 Bars: 115.3.1 Except as otherwise provided below, test speci- ‘mens for bars shall be in accordance with Annex AI of Test Methods and Definitions A 370. 11.5.3.2 Except as provided in 1.5.3.5, test specimens for bars % in, [20 mm] and under in thickness may conform to the requirements of Fig. 3 of Test Methods and Definitions A370 for either the 1%+in. [40-mm] wide specimen or the Vein, [12.5-mm] wide specimen. 11.5.3.3 Except as provided in 11.5.3.5, test specimens for bars over ¥% in. [20 mm] in thickness or diameter may conform cither to the requirements for the 1¥-in. [40-mm] or /a-in, [12.5-mm] wide specimen of Fig. 3 of Test Methods and Definitions A 370, or to the requirements for the 0.500 in, [12.5 mm] diameter specimen of Fig. 4 of Test Methods and Definitions A 370. 11.5.3.4 Test specimens for bars other than those to be used for pins and rollers may be machined to a thickness or diameter of at least % in. {20 mm] for a length of at least 9 in, [230 mm]. 11.5.3.5 Test specimens for bars to be used for pins and rollers shall conform to the requirements of Fig. 4 of Test Methods and Definitions A 370 for the ¥ in. [12.5 mm] diameter specimen. 11.6 Elongation Requirement Adjustments: 20 11.6.1 Due to the specimen geometry effect encountered when using the rectangular tension test specimen for testing thin material, adjustments in elongation requirements must be provided for thicknesses under 0.312 in, [8 mm]. Accord- ingly, the following deductions from the base elongation requirements shall app! ‘Nominal Thickness Range, longtion ‘a.

For material over 3.5 in. [90 ‘mm] in thickness, a deduction of 0.5 % from the specified percentage of elongation in 2 in. [50 mm] shall be made for each 0.5 in, [12.5 mm] increment of thickness over 3.5 in. (90 mm]. This deduction shall not exceed 3 %. Accordingly, the following deductions from the base elongation require- ‘ments shall apply: ‘Nominal Thickness Range, Elongation ia. fom) Deduction, % 3.500 ~-3.999(90.00—102.49] os 40004439 {102 50—114.99) 10 4.5004. 999 [1150012749] is $.000—$.49 [12750—139.99] 20 as 30 11.6.4 A characteristic of certain types of alloy steels is a local disproportionate increase in the degree of necking down or contraction of the specimens under tension test, resulting in a decrease in the percentage of elongation as the ‘gage length is increased. The effect is not so pronounced in the thicker plates. On such material, when so stated in the material specification for plates up to % in. [20 mm, inclusive, in thickness, if the percentage of elongation of an Sin. or 200-mm gage length test specimen falls not more than 3 % below the amount prescribed, the elongation shall be considered satisfactory provided the percentage of elonga- tion in 2 in, (50 mm across the break is not less than 25 %. 11.6.5 The tensile requirements tables in many of the specifications covered by these general requirements specify clongation requirements in both 8-in. [200 mm] and 2-in. 50 mm] gage lengths. Unless otherwise provided in the individual plate specification, it is not the intent that bothi) agjaem requirements apply simultaneously and that the elongation bbe determined in both gage lengths. Instead, it is intended ‘that the elongation be determined only in the gage length appropriate for the test specimen used. After selection of the appropriate gage length, the elongation requirement for the alternative gage length shall be deemed not applicable. 11.7 Yield Strength Application: 11.7.1 When test specimens do not exhibit a well-defined isproportionate yield point, yield strength shall be deter- mined and substituted for yield point. 11.7.2 When test specimens do exhibit a well-defined disproportionate yield point, as an option, yield strength may be substituted for yield point. 11.7.3 Yield strength shall be determined either by the 0.2 % offset method or by the 0.5 % extension-under-load method. 11.8 Product Tension Tests—This specification does not provide requirements for product tension testing subsequent to shipment (see 14.1). Therefore, the requirements of 11.1 ‘through 11.7 and Section 15 apply only for tests conducted at the place of manufacture prior to shipment. Compliance to Specification A6/A6M and the individual material specifications by a manufacturer does not preclude the possibility that product tension test results may vary outside specified ranges. The tensile properties will vary within the same heat or piece, be it as-rolled, control-olied, or heat- treated. The purchaser should, therefore, be aware that tension testing according to the requirernents of Specifica- tion A 6/A 6M does not provide assurance that all products of a heat will be identical in tensile properties with the products tested. If the purchaser wishes to have more confidence than that provided by Specification A 6/A 6M testing procedures, additional testing or requirements, such as Supplementary Requirement $4, should be imposed. 11.8.1 Appendix X2 provides additional information on the variability of tensile properties in plates and structural shapes. 12, Identification of Material 12.1 Plates—Each plate shall be steel die-stamped, ‘marked, or stenciled in one place with specification number (year-date not required), grade, heat number, manufacturer's ‘name, brand, or trademark (mill identification marks), size and thickness. For plates provided from coils, the processor ‘identity rather than that of the manufacturer shall be used. However, in the case of secured lifts of plates ¥s in. [10 mam] (or of material specified for bridge construction jc in. [8 mm) and under in thickness of all sizes, and of plates 36 in, (900 mm] and under in width in all thicknesses, such ‘markings may be placed on only the top piece of each lift, or may be shown on a substantial tag attached to each iif, unless otherwise specified. See also 12. 12.2 Shapes—Shapes shall be marked with the heat number, size of section, length, and mill identification marks on each piece. Either the manufacturer's name, brand, or trademark (mill identification marks) shall be shown in raised letters at intervals along the length. In addition, shapes shall be identified with the specification number (year-date not required) and grade, either by marking each piece individually or, if bundled, by attaching a substantial tag to the bundle, Small shapes ‘with the greatest cross-sectional dimension not greater than 6 in. [150 mm] may be bundled 21 for shipment with cach lift marked or tagged showing the previously listed identification. See also 12. 12.3, Steel Sheet Piling—Steel sheet piling shall be marked with the heat number, size of section, length, and mill ‘identification marks on each piece. Either the manufactur- er’s name, brand, or trademark (rill identification marks) shall be shown in raised letters at intervals along the length. 12.4 Bars—Bars of all sizes, when loaded for shipment, shall be properly identified with the name or brand of manufacturer (snill identification marks), purchaser’s name and order number, the specification number, grade number ‘where appropriate, size and length, weight of lift, and the heat number for identification. Unless otherwise specified, the method of marking is at the manufacturer's option and may be made by hot stamping, cold stamping, painting, or marking tags attached to the lifts of bars. Bars are not required to be die-stamped. 12.5 Bar Coding—In addition to the requirements in 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, and 12.4, bar coding is acceptable as a supplementary identification method. Bar coding should be consistent with the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) standard prepared by the Primary Metals Subcom- mittee of the AIAG Bar Code Project Team, 12.6 Specification Identification—In addition to the re- quirements of 12.1 or 12.2 material ordered to one of the specifications and grades for which a color code is given in 12.6.3 shall be marked with the applicable specification number and grade. The year-date of the specification to which the material is furnished need not be included in the ‘marking. Color identification shall be applied as stated in 12.6.1, 12.6.2, and 12.6. 12.6.1 Plates—When specified by the purchaser, each plate (except for plates in secured lifts) shall be marked with the color designated in 12.6.3 along one edge or on the rolled surface within 12 in, [300 mm] of the heat number identifi- cation, Plates in secured lifts may have the color identifica- tion marked with a vertical stripe for the full height of the {ift. Each plate in the lift shall be marked by this stripe. Color ‘markings shall be distinct and of sufficient size to be clearly visible. 12.6.2 Shapes—Each structural shape or lift shall be ‘marked with the color designated in 12.6.3 on one cut end or across the rolled face of one flange or leg, adjacent to one cut end. Color markings shall be distinct and of sufficient size to be clearly visible. 12.6.3 Colors—The following color system shall be used 10 identify the individual specifications: A2a/A 20M ‘oe ‘8283/8 283M (Grade D) oxaoee ASIA SION Pa ASII/A SON back ASTIA STIM Grade 2 teen and white ‘ASTIIA STAM Grade $0 been and yellow ASTIAST2M Grade 60 een and gay AASTUIAS72M Orade 65 fee and be A SBR/A SM Sue and yetow ‘A709 Grae 50 tyre ad yelow ‘ABSZ/A SSM. flue and orange ‘A709 Grade SOW ‘ue aod yelow ‘808 Grate 100 rt ‘509 Gre 100W rel and orange 15709 Grade 70 W ‘ue aod orange ‘A913 Gre $0 ret and yellow ‘A913 Grade 60 ret and gay ‘A913 Grade 6 red and Bue ‘5913 Grade 70 ref od iteab acjacm 12.7 Heat Treatment Identification: 127.1 Material that is eventually required to be heat treated by the material specification, but that is released on the basis of heat-treated test specimens, shall be identified with the letter “G” following the specification designation. 12.7.2 Material that has been given the required full heat ‘treatment by the manufacturer or processor shall be identi- fied with the letters “MT” following the specification desig- nation. 12.8 Subdivided Material: 12.8.1 Pieces separated from master material by a supplier shall be identified with the specification number (year-date not required), grade, heat number, and the heat treatment identification, if applicable, along with the trademark, brand, ‘or name of the organization subdividing the material. The identification methods shall be in accordance with the requirement of 12.1 through 12.4, except that the raised letters method for shapes and steel sheet piling is not required. If the original manufacturer's identification re- ‘mains intact, the material need not be additionally identified by the organization supplying the material. 12.8.2 As an alternative, pieces from the same heat of material may be bundled or placed in secured lifts and the identification specified in 12.8.1 shall then either be placed ‘on the top piece of each lift, or shown on a substantial tag attached to each lift or bundle, 13. Permissible Variations in Dimensions or Weight [Mass] 13.1 One cubic foot of rolled steel is assumed to weigh 490 Ib. One cubic metre of rolled steel is assumed to have a mass of 7850 ke. 13.2 Plates—The permissible variations for dimensions and weight [mass] shall not exceed the applicable limits in Tables | to 15 [Annex Al, Tables Al.1 to A1.15], inclusive. 13.3 Shapes: 13.3.1 Annex A2 lists the designations and dimensions, in both inch-pound and SI [metric] units, of shapes that are ‘most commonly available. Radii of fillets and toes of shape profiles vary with individual manufacturers and therefore are not specified. 13.3.2. The permissible variations for dimensions shall not exceed the applicable limits in Tables 16 to 25 [Annex Al, Tables A1.16 to A1.25], inclusive, Permissible variations for special shapes not listed in those tables are subject to negotiation between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Nore 3—Tolerances are shown in Tables 16 to 25 [Annex Al, Tables A1.16 to A1.25}, inclusive, for some shapes that are not listed in ‘Annex A2 (that is, bulb anges, tes, 2es). Addition of such sections to ‘Annex A2 will be considered by Subcommittee AOI.02 when and if a need for such listing is shown. 13.3.3 Shapes Having One Dimension of the Cross Sec- tion 3 in. [75 mm] or Greater (Structural-Size Shapes)—The cross-sectional area or weight [mass] of each shape shall not vary more than 2.5% from the theoretical or specified amounts. 13.4 Sheet Piling—The weight of each steel sheet pile shall not vary more than 2.5% from the theoretical or specified weight [or mass}. The length of each steel sheet pile shall not vary more than 5 in. [125 mm] over, and shall not be less than the length specified. 13.5 Bars—The variations from nominal dimensions of 2 hhot-rolled bars shall not exceed the applicable limits in Tables 26 to 31 [Annex Al, Tables A1.26 to Al.31], inclusive. 14, Inspection and Testing 14.1 The inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry,"at all times, while work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed, to all parts of the manufactur- ‘er's works that concern the manufacture of the material ordered. The manufacturer shall afford the inspector all reasonable facilities to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in accordance with this specification. All tests (except product analysis) and inspection shall be made at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified, and shall be conducted so as not to interfere with the operation of the works. 14.2 When structural products are produced from coils, 14.1 shall apply to the processor instead of the manufacturer, and the place of process shall apply instead of the place of ‘manufacture. When structural products are produced from coils and the processor is different from the manufacturer, the inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry at all times while work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed to all parts of the manufacturer's works that concerns the manufacturer of the material ordered. 15. Retests 15.1 If any test specimen shows defective machining or develops flaws, it may be discarded and another specimen substituted. 15.2 If the percentage of elongation of any tension test specimen is less than that specified and any part of the fracture is more than ¥4 in. [20 mm] from the center of the gage length of a 2-in. [50-mm] specimen or is outside the middle half of the gage length of an 8-in. [200-mm] ‘specimen, as indicated by scribe scratches marked on the specimen before testing, a retest shall be allowed. 15.3 Except as provided in 15.3.1, if the results from an original tension specimen fails to meet the specified require- ments, but are within 2 ksi [14 MPa] of the required tensile strength, within | ksi [7 MPa] of the required yicld strength or yield point, or within 2 percentage units of the required clongation, a retest shall be permitted to replace the failing ‘test. A retest shall be performed for the failing original test, with the specimen being randomly selected from the heat. If the results of the retest meet the specified requirements, the heat or lot shall be approved. 15.3.1 For structural products produced from coils, both tests from each coil tested to qualify a heat must mect all mechanical property requirements. Should either test fail to do 50, then that coil cannot be used to qualify the parent heat. However, that portion of that individual coil which is bracketed by acceptable tests (see 11.4.1.3) may be qualified. 15.4 Quenched and tempered steel plates are subject to the additional retest requirements contained in the material specification. 15.5 When the option of 1 1.3.2 is used and the elongation falls below the specified requirement, another test may be made using a specimen permitted in 11.5.2. 16.

These testing procedures are not intended to define the upper or ower limits of tensile properties at all possible test locations within a heat of stel. It is well known and documented that tensile properties will vary within a heat or individual piece of steel as a function of chemical composition, processing, testing procedure and other factors. It is, therefore, incum- bent on designers and engineers to use sound engineering judgement when using tension test results shown on mill test reports. The testing procedures of Specification A 6/A 6M have been found to provide material adequate for normal structural design criteria. X2.1 A survey of the variation to be expected in tensile properties obtained from plates and structural shapes was conducted by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI).!° ‘The results of this survey are contained in a Contributions to the Metallurgy of Steel entitled “The Variation of Product +© Originally published by che American Iron ad Ste Institute, 113 15 St, Nw, Wasbington, DC 20005, Available from ASTM Headquarters as PCN. 29.00039002. Analysis and Tensile Properties—Carbon Steel Plates and Wide Flange Shapes” (SU/18, SU/19 and SU/20), published in September 1974. The data are presented in tables of probability that tensile properties at other than the official location may differ from those of the reported test location. X2.3 Specification A 6/A 6M contains no requirements applicable to product tension tests; conformance to the ‘material specifications is determined on the basis of tests performed at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified. X24. A Task Group of ASTM Subcommittee A01.02 has determined, based on review of the AISI data,? that the variation in tensile properties of plates and structural shapes can be expressed as a function of specified requirements: one standard deviation equals approximately 4% of required tensile strength, 8 % of required yield strength, and 3 percentage units of required elongation. X2.5 Acceptance criteria for product testing based on these values either below the minimum or above the ‘maximum allowed by the material specification are generally acceptable to material manufacturers, Such tolerances could be considered by users of this product as a reasonable basis for acceptance of materials which, due to their inherent variability, deviate from material specification requirements when subjected to product tension testing. X3. WELDABILITY OF STEEL X3.1 Weldability is a term that usually refers to the relative case with which a metal can be welded using conventional practice, Difficulties arise in steel when the cooling rates associated with weld thermal cycles produce ‘microstructures (for example, martensite) that are suscep- tible to brittle fracture or, more commonly, hydrogen- induced (or cold) cracking,'" (Solidification or hot cracking is a relatively rare phenomenon that will not be addressed here. See Randall? for further information.) X3.2 The relative sensitivity of steels to forming cold cracking microstructures is called hardenability and can be measured in a number of ways. Perhaps the most popular method of assessing this is by the carbon equivalent (CE) formula, which attempts to equate the relative hardening contributions of a stee!’s constituent elements (for example, ‘manganese, vanadium) to an equivalent amount of carbon, Which is the most significant hardening agent, The most Popular formula is the IW (International Institute of Welding) equation presented in $74.2, which has been found suitable for predicting hardenability in a wide range of commonly used carbon-manganese and low alloy steels.

However, in order to obtain a higher level of confidence in avoiding cold cracking, the chemistry controls in $74 are available, A purchaser who specifies the use of S74 should be aware that there are several factors involved in the judicious selection of a maximum CE value, such as the following: 3.4.1 Actual production joint restraint/base metal thick- ness(es), ‘X3.4.2 Filler metal and base metal strength compatibility, X3.4.3 Deposited weld metal diffusible hydrogen content, X3.44 Preheat and interpass temperatures, X3.4.5 Filler metal and base metal cleanliness, and X3.4.6 Heat input, X3.5 Though it is widely believed that /ow CE steels are immune to weld cracking problems, failure to consider these factors and others have resulted in weld or base metal HAZ.
