3、ral steel shapes in Grades 50 345, 60 415, 65 450 and 70485, produced by the quenching and self-tempering process(QST). The shapes are intended for riveted, bolted or weldedconstruction of bridges, buildings and other structures.1.2 The QST process consists of in line heat treatment andcooling rate

4、controls which result in mechanical properties inthe finished condition that are equivalent to those attainedusing heat treating processes which entail reheating afterrolling. A description of the QST process is given in AppendixX1.1.3 Due to the inherent characteristics of the QST process,the shape

5、s shall not be formed and post weld heat treated attemperatures exceeding 1100F 600C.1.4 When the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed that awelding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intendeduse or service will be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specifica-tion A6/A6M for information on

6、weldability.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining v

QUENCHING AND SELF-TEMPERING PROCESS (QST)X1.1 Introduction The quenching and self-temperingprocess, commonly referred to

26、 as “QST,” has evolved from the“thermo-mechanical control processes” (TMCP) that havebeen known and used for a number of years. QST, which is avariation of TMCP, produces fine-grained steel by a combina-tion of chemical composition and integrated controls of manu-facturing processes from ingot or bl

27、oom reheating to in-lineinterrupted quenching and self-tempering, thereby achievingthe specified mechanical properties in the required productthicknesses.X1.2 Outline of QSTGiven in Fig. X1.1.X1.2.1 Quenching and self-tempering (QST)-steels of finegrain size are manufactured by producing tempered ma

29、ingcooling) to a minimum self-tempering temperature (STT, thatis, the maximum surface temperature after quenching) of1100F 600C in order to meet the specified requirements.Time quenching can be performed after conventional rollingprocesses (AR) and (CR) or after thermomechanical controlledrolling (T

30、MCR).X1.2.2 The selection of the rolling process to be used ismade by the producer depending upon the chemicalcomposition, the product thickness, and the requiredproperties.A913/A913M 143SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee A01 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last i
