26、angles, etc.), having a specified minimum yieldstrength of 50 ksi (345 Mpa), intended for use in offshorestructures. Commonly available Class A, Class B, and ClassC beams refer to degrees of fracture criticality as described insection 8.1.3 of API RP 2A, with Class C being for the leastcritical appl
27、ications. For special critical applications, ClassAAZ shapes may be specified, by agreement, using supple-ment S101.1.2Supplementary requirements are provided for usewhere additional testing or additional restrictions are requiredby the purchaser. Such requirements apply only when speci-fied in the
28、purchase order.1.3When the steel is to be welded, a welding proceduresuitable for the grade of steel and intended use or service is tobe utilized. For the purposes of welding procedure qualifica-tion under AWS D1.1, until AWS cites this specification, usethe following:a. Matching filler metals (AWS
29、D1.1, Table 3.1) shall be asfor Group II.b. Preheats (AWS D1.1, Table 3.2) shall be as for Category B(or Category D for class A-QST herein).c. Matching weld toughness (AWS D1.1, Tables C4.2 andC4.3) shall correspond to Class A, B, or C herein.Alternative preheats (AWS D1.1, Annex XI) may also beused
30、 to advantage.1.4When heat straightening, hot or warm forming, or post-weld heat treatment above 1050F (565C) is anticipated forClass A shapes produced by methods other than hot rolling,controlled rolling, normalized rolling, or normalizing, supple-ment S9 should be invoked.1.5By agreement, this spe
31、cification may be used as a sup-plement to purchase rolled shapes to other international stan-dards, e.g., Euronorm, ISO, or JIS, in which case referencesto ASTM A6 may be replaced by the comparable interna-tional standard. Users should note that dimensions and designproperties might not be the same
32、 as A6 shape designations,and that “equivalent” sections could be heavier.2 Referenced Documents2.1 NORMATIVEASTM A6/A6M, Specification for General Requirements for Rolled Structural Steel Bars, Plates, Shapes, and Sheet PilingASTM A370/A370M, Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of S

Killed steel is confirmed by astatement of “killed steel” on the test report, or by reportingstrong deoxidizers.4.3The steel shall
38、 be made to fine grain practice. For ClassA and B, the fine grain definition in Section 8.3 of ASTM A6shall apply.2 API SPECIFICATION2MT24.4Steel may be cast in ingots or may be strand cast.

CR: controlled rolling, with final rolling at a reducedtemperature.c. NR: normalized rolling, with final rolling
40、of the shape per-formed in the upper recrystallization range, without the extracycle of cooling and reheating.d. N: normalizing, with reheating and cooling performed offline (see 4.7).e. QST: quenching and self-tempering process, as describedin Appendix X1 of ASTM A913. Self-tempering temperaturesha
41、ll be a minimum of 1100F (600C), and the self-temper-ing temperature for the material represented shall be reportedon the mill certificate. f.
