48、ow.CTo illustrate, consider the manganese limits 0.50 to 0.80 % of E 1Q. Accordingto Table 4, the maximum permissible deviation of a product analysis below thelower limit 0.50 is 0.05 % = (0.08 3 0.50 + 0.01). The lowest acceptable productanalysis of E 1Q, therefore, is 0.45 %. Similarly, the maximu

49、m permissibledeviation above the upper limit of 0.80 % is 0.074 % = (0.08 3 0.80 + 0.01). Thehighest acceptable product analysis of E 1Q, therefore, is 0.874 %. For A 2Q, themaximum manganese content is 1.40 % if the carbon content is 0.20 % or lower.In this case, the highest acceptable product analysis is 1.49 % = (1.40 + 0.09).A 757/A 757M 00 (2004)3normal to the material surface in the heat-affected zone toinclude as much heat-affected zone as possible in the resultingfrac
