A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers hot- and cold-fin

3、ished alloysteel bars having a chromium content equal to or less than11.0 % including rounds, squares, hexagons, and hot-rolled orextruded shapes for use in corrosion and heat-resisting service.1.2 Some steels covered by this specification, especially thehigh silicon-containing steels, because of th

The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result

6、in nonconformance with thisspecification.1.4 This specification and the applicable material specifica-tions are expressed in both inch-pound and SI units. However,unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specificationdesignation (SI units), the material shall be furnished ininch-pound units.2.
