NOTE 1 Where . . . appears in this table, there is no requirement. The heat analysis for manganese shall be determined and reported as described in the heat analysis section of Specication A 6/A 6M.
A

Manganese content of 0.851.35% and silicon content of 0.150.40% is required for shapes with ange thickness over 3 in. [75 mm].
For each reduction of 0.01 percentage point below the specied carbon maximum, an increase of 0.06 percentage point manganese above the specied maximum will be permitted, up to
the maximum of 1.35%.
