1、Designation: A 684/A 684M 08Standard Specification forSteel, Strip, High-Carbon, Cold-Rolled1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 684/A 684M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisio

2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () 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. Scope*1.1 This specification covers cold-rolled, high-carb

3、on stripin coils or cut lengths. Strip is classified as product that is0.3000 in. 7.6 mm or less in thickness and over12 to 231516in. 12.5 to 600 mm in width, inclusive. Strip toleranceproducts may be available in widths wider than 231516 in. (600mm) by agreement between purchaser and supplier; howe

4、ver,such products are technically classified as cold-rolled sheet.The maximum of the specified carbon range is over 0.25 to1.35 %, inclusive. It is furnished in the following types asspecified:1.1.1 Soft spheroidized annealed high-carbon steel is in-tended for applications requiring maximum cold for

5、ming. It isnormally produced to give the lowest maximum Rockwellhardness for each grade.1.1.2 Soft annealed high-carbon steel is intended for appli-cations requiring moderate cold forming. It is produced to amaximum Rockwell hardness.1.1.3 Intermediate hardness high-carbon steel is intendedfor appli

6、cations where cold forming is slight or a stiff, springyproduct is needed, or both. It is produced to specified Rockwellhardness ranges, the maximum being higher than obtained forthe annealed type.1.1.4 Full hard high-carbon steel is intended for flat appli-cations. It is produced to minimum Rockwel

7、l hardness require-ments, which vary with grade, microstructure and gauge. Fullhard can be produced with either a pearlitic or spheroidizedmicrostructure or a mixture of both. The minimum hardnessshould be established between the consumer and the producer.1.2 This specification is applicable for ord

8、ers in eitherinch-pound units or SI units.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two

9、systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 The tolerances in this specification are different thanthose in Specification A 568/A 568M and Specification A 109/A 109M.1.5 For the purpose of determining conformance with thisspecification, values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in t

10、heright hand place of figures used in expressing the limitingvalues in accordance with the rounding method of PracticeE29.1.6 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound unitsand SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable“M” specification designation (SI units), the material

11、 shall befurnished to inch-pound units. The metric portions of the tablesherein list permissible variations in dimensions and mass (seeNote 1) in SI (metric) units. The values listed are not exactconversions of the values listed in the inch-pound tables butinstead are rounded or rationalized values.

12、 Conformance to SItolerances is mandatory when the “M” specification is used.NOTE 1The term weight is used when inch-pound units are thestandard. However, under SI the preferred term is mass.2.
