1、Designation: A838 02 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Specification forFree-Machining Ferritic Stainless Soft Magnetic Alloy Barfor Relay Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A838; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the
2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers free-machining ferritic stain-less soft magnetic alloy produc
3、ed or supplied expressly incold-finished bar form for use in magnetic cores and other partsrequiring a high permeability, low-coercivity stainless steel.1.1.1 This specification does not cover either cast parts orparts produced by powder metallurgy techniques.1.2 Two specific alloy types are covered
4、. The primaryconstituents are shown in Table 1. These types have corrosionresistance similar to AISI Type 430F and Type 430F, Specifi-cation A582/A582M.1.3 This specification covers only these alloy types suppliedin cold-finished bars in cross-sectional shapes such as rounds,squares, hexagons, and o
5、ctagons with diameters (diagonals)greater than or equal to 0.250 in. (6.35 mm) and less than orequal to 1.625 in. (41.28 mm).21.4 Certain cold-finished round bar products are capable ofbeing supplied mill annealed to required magnetic propertiessuch as low coercivity. The size range that can be mill
6、 annealedis from 0.250 to 1.625 in. (6.35 to 41.28 mm). Other productsof these alloys cannot be mill annealed to produce equivalentlylow coercivity; hence, the final machined parts should be heattreated as recommended by the producer.1.5 The values stated in customary (cgs-emu and inch-pound) units
7、are to be regarded as standard. The values givenin parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units whichare provided for information only and are not consideredstandard.2.

TYPICA
39、L PHYSICAL, MAGNETIC, AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIESX1.1 Typical physical and magnetic properties are listed inTable X1.1 for the two alloy types contained in this specifica-tion. Magnetic property data shown were measured on 0.250-to 0.375-in. (6.35- to 9.52-mm) diameter mill-annealed (Grade1both types)
40、 bar using a Fahy Permeameter in accordancewith Test Method A341/A341M. Larger-diameter bars willyield lower maximum permeabilities and residual inductionsdue to limitations associated with testing large-diameter, rela-tively high-permeability bars on a permeameter. Typical me-chanical property data
41、 other than hardness for Grade 1 of bothalloy types is shown in Table X1.2. Typical hardness ranges aregiven in Table X1.3. The data provided are for informationonly and are not requirements in this specification and need notbe measured.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of
