ASTM WK38311

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK38311 - Revision of A6 / A6M - 12 Standard Specification for General Requirements for Rolled Structural Steel Bars, Plates, Shapes, and Sheet Piling


Active Standard: A6 / A6M - 13

Developed by Subcommittee: A01.02 | Committee A01 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

Add requirement for killed steels only. Rimmed steels, rimmed and capped steels, and semi-killed steels for structural applications are no longer used or commercially available to any significant extent. It is also recognized that these steelmaking practices are no longer consistent with new steel making technologies that have enhanced the performance of todays structural steels.
