7、ngThis specification limits chemical composi-tion (6.2) and carbon equivalent (6.4) to enhance the weldabil-ity of the material. When steel is to be welded, a weldingprocedure suitable for the chemical composition and intendeduse or service should be used. The use of the latest edition ofAWS D1.4/D1

8、.4M is recommended.

9、i-cation A 706M.1.7 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units areshown in brackets. The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used inde-pendently of the other. Combining values

10、 from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with this specification.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

The deformations on opposite sides ofthe bar shall be similar in size, shape, and pattern.7.2 The deformations shall be p

34、laced with respect to the axisof the bar so that the included angle is not less than 45. Wherethe line of deformations forms an included angle with the axisof the bar from 45 to 70, inclusive, the deformations shallreverse alternately in direction on each side, or those on oneside shall be reversed

35、in direction from those on the oppositeside. Where the line of deformation is over 70, a reversal indirection shall not be required.7.3 The average spacing or distance between deformationson each side of the bar shall not exceed710 of the nominaldiameter of the bar.7.4 The overall length of deformat

36、ions shall be such that thegap (measured as a chord) between the ends of the deforma-tions shall not exceed 12.5 % of the nominal perimeter of thebar. Where the ends terminate in a rib, the width of the rib shallbe considered as the gap between these ends. The summationof the gaps shall not exceed 2

37、5 % of the nominal perimeter ofthe bar. The nominal perimeter of the bar shall be 3.1416 timesthe nominal diameter.7.5 The spacing, height, and gap of deformations shallconform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.8. Measurements of Deformations8.1 The average spacing of deformations shall be d

38、eter-mined by measuring the length of a minimum of 10 spaces anddividing that length by the number of spaces included in themeasurement. The measurement shall begin from a point on adeformation at the beginning of the first space to a correspond-ing point on a deformation after the last included spa

39、ce.Spacing measurements shall not be made over a bar areacontaining bar marking symbols involving letters or numbers.8.2 The average height of deformations shall be determinedfrom measurements made on not less than two typical defor-mations. Determinations shall be based on three measurementsper def

40、ormation, one at the center of the overall length and theother two at the quarter points of the overall length.8.3 Insufficient height, insufficient circumferential cover-age, or excessive spacing of deformations shall not constitutecause for rejection unless it has been clearly established bydeterm

41、inations on each lot (see Note 1) tested that typicaldeformation height, gap, or spacing do not conform to theminimum requirements prescribed in Section 7. No rejectionshall be made on the basis of measurements if fewer than tenadjacent deformations on each side of the bar are measured.NOTE 1As used

42、 within the intent of 8.3, the term “lot” shall mean allthe bars of one bar size and pattern of deformations contained in anindividual shipping release or shipping order.9. Mechanical Requirements9.1 Tensile Properties:9.1.1 The material, as represented by the test specimens,shall conform to the req

43、uirements for tensile properties pre-scribed in Table 2. The yield strength or yield point shall bedetermined by one of the following methods:9.1.1.1 Offset method (0.2 % offset) as described in TestMethods and Definitions A 370.9.1.1.2 By the drop of the beam or halt in the gage of thetesting machi

44、ne, where the steel tested has a sharp-kneed orwell-defined type of yield point.9.1.2 The percentage of elongation shall be as prescribed inTable 2.9.2 Bending Properties:9.2.1 The bend test specimen shall withstand being bentaround a pin without cracking on the outside radius of the bentportion. Th

45、e requirements for degree of bending and sizes ofpins are prescribed in Table 3. When material is furnished incoils, the test specimen shall be straightened prior to placing itin the bend tester.9.2.2 The bend test shall be made on specimens of sufficientlength to ensure free bending and with appara

46、tus that provides:9.2.2.1 Continuous and uniform application of forcethroughout the duration of the bending operation,9.2.2.2 Unrestricted movement of the specimen at points ofcontact with the apparatus and bending around a pin free torotate,9.2.2.3 Close wrapping of the specimen around the pindurin

47、g the bending operation.9.3 Test Specimens:9.3.1 The tension test specimens shall be the full section ofthe bar as rolled. The unit stress determination shall be basedon the nominal bar area.9.3.2 The bend test specimens shall be the full section of thebar as rolled.9.3.3 When material is furnished

48、in coils, the test specimenshall be taken from the coil and straightened prior to placing itin the jaws of the tensile machine. Straightening of the testspecimen shall be done carefully to avoid formation of localsharp bends and to minimize cold work. (See Note 2.)9.3.3.1 Test specimens taken from p

49、ost-fabricated materialshall not be used to determine conformance to this specifica-tion.NOTE 2Insufficient straightening prior to attaching the extensometercan result in lower-than-actual yield strength readings.
