1、Designation: A 575 96 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Specification forSteel Bars, Carbon, Merchant Quality, M-Grades1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 575; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers hot-wrough

3、t merchant qualitycarbon steel bars produced to a chemical composition. Mer-chant quality bars are used for structural and similar miscella-neous bar applications involving moderate cold bending, mod-erate hot forming, punching, and welding as used in theproduction of noncritical parts. Moderate col

4、d bending in-volves a generous bend radius with the axis of the bendtransverse to the direction of rolling.1.2 Special quality hot-wrought carbon steel bars are cov-ered in Specification A 576.1.3 Some end uses may require one or more of the availabledesignations shown under Supplementary Requiremen

5、ts.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.2.

6、nformation3.1 Orders under this specification should include the fol-lowing as required to describe adequately the desired material:3.1.1 ASTM specification number and date of issue,3.1.2 Grade designation or chemical composition (Section 7and appropriate chemical analysis tables),3.1.3 Supplementar

7、y Requirements or additions, if required,3.1.4 Dimensions and quantity, and3.1.5 End use and processing.4. Materials and Manufacture4.1 The steel shall be made by the open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace process.5. Conditions5.1 Merchant quality bars are available in rounds, squares,round

8、cornered squares, hexagons, and bar size shapes under 3in. (76.2 mm), and in flats less than 40.8 lb/ft (60.7 kg/m).Hot-wrought merchant quality carbon steel bars are producedin cut lengths and coils; the producer should be consultedregarding sections and sizes available in coils.5.2 Merchant qualit

9、y is available within a composition of0.50 % maximum carbon, 0.60 % maximum manganese, non-resulfurized, non-leaded. The phosphorus content is 0.04 %,max, and the sulfur content is 0.05 %, max. Merchant qualitygrades of steel are shown in Table 1 and chemical ranges andlimits in Table 2; the grade n

10、umbers are designated with theprefix “M.” Merchant quality bars are not produced to anyspecified silicon content, grain size, or other requirement thatwould influence the type of steel.5.3 Merchant quality bars shall be free of visible pipe;however, they may contain pronounced chemical segregation.1
