Scope*1.1 This specification covers the general requirements forhot-rolled, heavy-thickness sheet and strip in coils.1.2 It applies to Specifications A414/A414M, A424/A424M, and A1018/A1018M.1.3 This material is

Hot-rolled heavy thickness coils 12 in. 300 mm andwider with mill edge is considered hot-rolled heavy thickness strip.NOTE 1The changes in width limits with the publication of A635/A635M 06a result in a change in tensile testing direction

The purchaser is advised to discuss this change withthe supplier.1.4 In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirementsof the indiv

7、idual material specification shall prevail over thoseof this general specification.1.5 Annex A1 lists permissible variations in dimensions andmass (see Note 2) in SI metric units. The values listed are notexact conversions of the values listed in the inch-pound tables,but instead are rounded or rati

8、onalized values. Conformance toAnnex A1 is mandatory when the “M” specification is used.NOTE 2The term weight is used when inch-pound units are thestandard. However, under SI, the preferred term is mass.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as stan

9、dard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.7 This specification and the applicable material specifica-tions are expressed in

10、both inch-pound units and SI units.However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” speci-fication designation (SI units), the material shall be furnishedto inch-pound units.2.

34、nonuniform character of their chemical composition, andtherefore, the tolerances in Table 1 do not apply. Productanalysis is appropriate on these types of steel only whenmisapplication is apparent, or for copper when copper steel isspecified.6.2.2 For steels other than non-killed (capped or rimmed),

35、product analysis may be made by the purchaser. The chemicalanalysis shall not vary from the limits specified by more thanthe amounts in Table 1. The several determinations of anyelement in a cast shall not vary both above and below thespecified range.6.2.3 Sampling for Product Analysis:6.2.3.1 To in

36、dicate adequately the representative composi-tion of a cast by product analysis, it is general practice to selectsamples to represent the steel, as fairly as possible, from aminimum number of pieces as follows: three pieces for lots upto 15 tons included, and six pieces for lots over 15 tons.6.2.3.2

37、 When the steel is subject to tension test require-ments, samples for product analysis may be taken either bydrilling entirely through the used tension test specimensthemselves, or as covered in 6.2.3.3.6.2.3.3 When the steel is not subject to tension test require-ments, the samples for analysis mus

38、t be taken by milling ordrilling entirely through the sheet in a sufficient number ofplaces so that the samples are representative of the entire sheetor strip. The sampling may be facilitated by folding the sheetboth ways, so that several samples may be taken at one drilling.Steel subjected to certa

39、in heating operations by the purchasermay not give chemical analysis results that properly representits original composition. Therefore, users must analyze chipstaken from the steel in the condition in which it is receivedfrom the steel manufacturer.6.3 Specimen PreparationDrillings or chips must be

40、taken without the application of water, oil, or other lubricant,and must be free of scale, grease, dirt, or other foreignsubstances. They must not be overheated during cutting to theextent of causing decarburization. Chips must be well mixedand those too coarse to pass a No. 10 sieve or too fine to

41、remainon a No. 30 sieve are not suitable for proper analysis. Sievesize numbers are in accordance with Specification E11.6.4 Test MethodsIn case a referee analysis is required andagreed upon to resolve a dispute concerning the results of achemical analysis, the procedure for performing the refereean

42、alysis must be in accordance with the latest issue of TestMethods, Practices, and Terminology A751, unless otherwiseagreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.7.

47、Finish, and Appearance9.1 The steel shall have a workmanlike appearance and shallnot have defects of a nature or degree that will be detrimentalto the stamping or fabrication of finished parts.9.2 Coils are subject to some abnormal imperfections thatrender a portion of the coil unusable since the in

48、spection ofcoils does not afford opportunity to remove portions containingimperfections.9.3 Surface Finish:9.3.1 Unless otherwise specified, the material shall be fur-nished without removing the hot-rolled oxide or scale.9.3.2 When required, it is permissible to specify the materialto be pickled or
