Radi Structural steel and high-strength low-alloy steel are com- monly fabricated by cold bending. There are many interrelated factors that affect the ability ofa ste! to cold form over a given radius under shop conditions. These factors include thickness, strength level, degree of restraint, relationship to rolling direction, chemistry, and base metal microstructure. The table in Appendix X1 list the suggested minimum inside radius for 90° cold bending for structural steel and high-strength low- alloy steel. They presuppose “hard way” bending (bend axis parallel to rolling direction) and reasonably good shop forming practices. Where possible, the use of larger radii or “easy way” bends are recommended for improved performance. 8. Coating Properties 8.1 Coating Weight (Mass): 8.1.1 Coating weight {mass} shail conform to the require- ‘ments as shown in Table 1 for the specific coating designation. 8.1.2 Use the following relationships to estimate the coating thickness from the coating weight {mass}: 8.1.2.1 | o2/ft coating weight ~ 1.7 mils coating thickness, and 8.1.22 7.14 g/m? coating mass = | jum coating thickness. 8.2 Coating Weight (Mass) Test 8.2.1 Coating weight (mass] tests shall be performed inib A 653/A 653M TABLE 4 Mechanical Requirements, Base Metal (Longitudinal) TnetvPound Units Yield Tenela Elongation > Desraton Tyee Gade Stung, ston, 7p sF 3 % 6 20 a7 Fa 2 ie 4% a 5 16 sodec 1 50 6s 2 50Gas2 50 2 50Gls 2 80 7 2 wore WSIS TypeA 0 40 2 30 50 oo 0 © ry ree ae ” or 2 % 20 a) WSLS TyeB 40 0 woe 0 50 of | OR 6 # me a 70 7 wre 80 0 wre ‘sine Yard Terai Elongation Designation Type Grade Stengh, Seng, in SO mm, rin MPs min, MPa" rin a mas SCHO 20 28 xo ‘8 7 3s 16 sodas 1 40480 2 340Gae 2 O40 2 BoC M080 2 eo 5509 0 WLS pea 78215 py te ti 00 40 OF 40400502 5055010 WSLS ype 755 HOE bo || MO at he oe 40 oor 550 ear 2 ner an alps rs ie fable hae no require ‘Ne type enticaon is appcabe fet $8 designation. “Fer shea tienes of 0.028 0.71 mo tina, no tension toss required th harass rest in Rocko 8 85 o” ghar: "he tere isno Scant yl curv, th yet strength eho be taken a8 ‘hg sbocs at 0.5% elongation unr load or 0.2% offset. “heather one stengih srequed, the user shoud consul he produce. accordance with the requirements of Specification A 924/A, 924M. 8.2.2 The referee method to be used shall be Test Method A. 90/4. 90M. 83 Coating Bend Test: TABLE 5 Typical Ranges of Mechanical Propertios*?

RATIONALE FOR CHANGES IN PRODUCT DESIGNATIONS X21 Subcommittee AOS.11 has revised the designations used to classify the various products available in each hot-dip coated specification. The previous “quality” designations have been replaced with designations and descriptions more closely related with product characteristics, Many of the former “quality” specifications deseribed the steel only in terms of limited chemical composition, which in some cases was identical for two or more qualities. The former designations also did not reflect the availability of now steels which are the result of the use of new technologies such as vacuum degassing and steel ladle treatments X22. The former “quality” designators, defined in very ‘broad qualitative terms, did not provide the user with all the information needed to select the appropriate steel for an application. The new designations are defined with techrical information such as specific chemical composition limits and typical nonmandatory mechanical properties. These stee! char acteristics are important to users concerned with the weldabil- ity and formability of the coated stect products. The typical ‘mechanical properties included in the new designation system are those indicated by the tension test. These properties are more predictive of steel formability than other tests such as the hardness test which may not compensate adequately for product variables such as substrate thickness and coating weight, X2.3. The new designations also provide the user with the flexibility 10 restrict the steels applied on any onder. For example, a user can restrict the application of ultra fow carbon stcels on an application through the selection ofan appropriate “ype” designator X24 There isa limited reationship between the former and current systems of designation. Some ofthe reasons for this limited relationship are: addition of steels not previously described in ASTM specifications, restrictions placed on ranges of chemical composition, the addition of typical me- chanical properties, and the enhanced capability of steel producers to comibine chemical composition and processing ‘methods to achieve properties tailored to specific applications. X2.5. The changes in designation are significant which may create transition issues that will have to be resolved. Continued dialogue between users and producers will have to be main- tained to assist with the transition to the new system of designations, A user with concerns about the appropriateip A 653/A 653M coated steel to order for a specific application should consult with a steel supplier or producer. ‘The Amenican Society for Testing and Materials takes no pastn respecting to way fen pata rihts asserted ncomnecton wih any tem mentoned in his standard, Usors of is stands are express aised ht delormination of he vay of ony sich Daten hs, and the rik of ntingorientof such nigh, ae entay tha own responsi "Tiss ss orion at any ie by the responsible taciclconmitee snd must be revowod very fe Yaar and \featredsed, eter aapproved or waar.
