Abstract
This specification covers alloy steel rods and uncoated coarse round alloy wire in coils that are not required to meet hardenability band limits. Heat and product analyses shall be used to verify that the required percentage of chemical compositions for carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, vanadium, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, tungsten, aluminum and lead are within the specified limit. Required grain sizes shall be determined and specified as annealed, spheroidize annealed or patented. Tensile strength for annealed alloy rod and wires shall be evaluated using a tensile tests.
This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers general requirements for alloy steel rods and uncoated coarse round alloy wire in coils that are not required to meet hardenability band limits.
1.2 In case of conflict, the requirements in the purchase order, on the drawing, in the individual specification, and in this general specification shall prevail in the sequence named.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately)
