Slabs, sheet bars, and skelp, though fre ‘quently falling in the foregoing size ranges, are not classed as plates, 3.1.14 Coiled product is excluded from qualifca- tion to individual material specifications governed by this specification until decoiled, leveled, cut to Tength, and, if required, property tested by the processor in accordance with ASTM specification requitements (see 64.2 and the individual material specification), 34.2 Shapes (Flanged Sections) 3.1.21 structural-size shapes —rolled flanged see- tions having at least one dimension of the eross section 3 in. [75 mm] or eater. Structural shape size groupings used for tensile property classification ae listed in Table A. 3.1.2.2 bar size shapes — rolled flanged sections having @ nitximum dimension of the cross seetion than 3 in, (75 am] 3.1.2.3 “W” shapes — doubly-symmettic, wide flange shapes with inside lange surfaces that are substan- ‘ally parallel 31.2.4 “HP” shapes — are wide-fange shapes generally used as bearing piles whose flanges and webs are of the sante nominal thickness and witose depth and ‘width ate essentially the same, 3.1.2.8 “S" shapes — doubly-symmetric beam shapes with inside ange surfaces that have a slope of approximately 1624¢. 3.1.26 "1" shapes — doubly-symmetrc shapes that cannot be classified as “W." °S," oF “HP” shapes. 31.2.7 “C” shapes — channels with inside flange surfaces that have a slope of approximately 16%4%, 31.2.8 “MC” shapes — channels that cannot be classified as “C” shapes. 3.1.2.9 “L" shapes —shapes having equal-leg and uunequal-leg angles, 341.3 sheer piling —rolled steel seetions that are capa- ble of being interlocked, forming a continuous wall when individual pieces are driven side by side. 341.4 bars — rounds, squares, and hexagons, of all sizes; flats "Yq in.

Inspection and Testing 16.1 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 manufacturer's works that concer the manufacture of the material ordered. The manufacturer shall afford the inspec- tor 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. 16.2. When structural products are produced ftom coils, 16.1 shall apply to the processor instead of the manufae- turer, and the place of process shall apply instead of the place of manufactore. When structural products are pro- duced from coils and the processor is different from the manufacturer, the inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry a all times while work on the contract, of the purchaser is being performed {0 all puts of the ‘manufacturer's works that concerns the manufacturer of the material ordered 17, Rejection 17.1 Any rejection based on praduet analysis made in accordance with the material specification shall be reported 2007 SECTION IL, FART A to the supplier and samples that represent the rejected ‘material shall be preserved for 2 weeks from the date of notification of such rejection. In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the tests, the supplier shall have the ‘option of making claim for a rehearing within that time, 17.2. The purchaser shall have the option of rejecting material that exhibits injurious defects subsequent t0 its ‘acceptance at the manufacturer’s works, and so notifying the manufacturer or processor: 18.

Regardless of the different types of systems employed during or following the rolling operations, it is common for the steel to be reeled into the coiler at temperatures in the stress-relieving range. In general, these temperatures are higher as material thickness increases. The coils subsequently cool to ambient tempera- ture with outer and inner laps cooling more rapidly than central laps. The difference in cooling rate can result in measurable differences in the mechanical properties throughout a coil. Data confirm reduced yield and tensile strength with increased percent elongation for the product with slower cooling rates from the coiling temperature to ambient. These differences are in addition to the effects fon mechanical properties caused by differences in heat analysis and chemical segregation X2._ VARIATION OF TENSILE PROPERTIES IN PLATES AND STRUCTURAL SHAPES X21 The tension testing requirements of Specification AG/A 6M are intended only to characterize the tensile properties of a heat of steel for determination of confor mance 10 the requirements of the material specifications ‘These testing procedures are not intended to define the upper or lower limits of tensile properties at all possible test locations within a heat of steel, It is well known and documented that tensile properties will vary within a heat or individual piece of steel as a function of chemical com- position, processing, testing procedure, and other factors. It is, therefore, incumbent 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, X22. 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 (AIS The results of this survey are contained in a Contributions 10 the Metallurgy of Stee entitled “The Variation of Prod- uct Analysis and Tensile Properties — Carbon Steel Plates and Wide Plange Shapes" (SU/18, SU/19, and SU/20), published in September 1974. The data are presented in tables of probability that tensile propesties at other than 9 the official location may differ from those of the reported test location. X23. Specification A 6/A 6M contains no requitements| applicable to product tension tests; conformance to the ‘material specifications is determined on the basis of tesis performed at the place of manufacture prior to shipment, unless otherwise specified. X24 A Task Group of ASTM Subcommittee 401,02 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. X25 _ Acceptance criteria for product testing based on these values either below the minimum or above the maxi= ‘mum allowed by the material specification are generally acceptable to material manufacturers. Such tolerances could be considered by users ofthis product as reasonable basis for acceptance of materials which, due to their inher cent variability, deviate from material specification require: ments when subjected to product tension testing, X3. WELDABILITY OF STEEL X31 Weldability is a term that usually refers to the relative ease 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 ble 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.) X32. The relative sensitivity of steels to forming cold ‘tacking 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 ofa stec!"s constituent elements (For example, ‘manganese, vanadium) to an equivalent amount of carbon, which is the most significant hardening agent. The most popular formula isthe INW (International Institute of Weld- ing) 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. SA6/SA-6N X33. It should be noted, however, that for the current generation of low carbon (<0.10%) low alloy steels that derive strength from a combination of microalloys and thermal processing methods, the use of other formulae may ‘more accurately assess hardenability and cold cracking sensitivity, X34 Fora vast number of common structural applica tions it is unnecessary to specify the use of CE limits 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 @ maximum CE value, such as the following: X3.4.1 Actual production joint restraint/base metal thickness(es), X3.4.2. Filler metal and base metal strength eompati- bility, X343 content, Deposited weld metal diffusible hydrogen X3.4.4 Preheat and interpass temperatures, X3.4.5_ Filler metal and base metal cleanliness, and X34.6 Heat input. X3.S Though it is widely believed that low CE steels are immune to weld cracking problems, fsilure to consider hese factors and others have resulted in weld or base metal HAZ (heat affected zone) cracks in such steels. X3.6- Its important to note that carbon equivalence i only a qualitative assessment of potential welding prob- Jems, and should never be solely relied on to ensure weld integrity. The proper use of welding specifications, coupled with the knowledge of actual construction conditions, must also be used. 0 2007 SECTION I, PART A X4, RADIUS FOR COLD BENDING X41 Suggested minimum inside bend radii for cold forming are referenced to Group Designations A to Finchu- sive as defined in Table X4.1. The suggested radii listed in Table X42 should be used as minimums in typical shop fabrication. Material that does not form satisfactorily when fabricated in accordance with Table X4.2 may be subject nding negotiation with the steel supplier. ‘When tighter bends are required, the manufacturer should bbe consulted. X42 The bend radius and the radius of the male die should be as liberal as the finished part will permit. The ‘width across the shoulders of the female die should be at Teast eight times the plate thickness. Higher strength steels requite larger die openings. The surface of the dies in the ‘area of radius should be smooth. XA.2.1. Since eracks in cold bending commonly orig- inate from the outside edges, shear burrs and gas cut edges should be removed by grinding. Sharp comers on edges ‘and on punched or gas cut holes should be removed by chamfering or grinding to a radius. X4.2.2. If possible, parts should be formed such that the bend line is perpendicular to the ditection of final rolling. IFtis necessary to bend with the bend line parallel to the ditection of final rolling, a more generous radius is suggested (14 times applicable value given in Table X42 for bend lines perpendicular to the direction of rolling) X43.
