Description

1.1 This specification covers hot-rolled, heavy thickness coils beyond the size limits of Specifications A506 and A507.

1.2 The product is available in three designations: Alloy Steel, Drawing Steel, and Structural Alloy Steel.

1.3 Alloy steel is furnished to chemical composition requirements and is intended primarily for general or miscellaneous use where bending and moderate forming is a requirement.

1.4 Drawing steel is produced principally for applications involving severe cold plastic deformation such as deep drawn or severely formed parts.

1.4.1 Drawing steel may be furnished in several conditions, heat treatments, surface finishes, and edges, as specified herein.

1.5 Structural steel is furnished to chemical composition requirements and to specific mechanical property requirements which may include tension tests, hardness tests, or other commonly accepted mechanical tests.

1.5.1 The formability of structural steel decreases with increasing yield strength or hardness. Therefore, product design in relation to the mechanical properties of the grade used must be considered.
