Scope1.1 This specification covers flanged U-channel carbon s
3、teelposts having a nominal weight ranging from 0.75 to 6.0 lb/ftand a nominal width ranging from 1.25 to 4.0 in. These postsare furnished in the as-wrought condition intended for appli-cations requiring high tensile strength or crashworthiness andwith a lower carbon (LC) designation for use where hi
4、gherductility or improved weldability are required. These materialsare available in multiple yield strength levels of 50, 60, 70, and80 ksi (345, 420, 485, and 550 MPa). The 50- and 60-ksi (345-and 420-MPa) yield strength grades are available as lowercarbon posts, designated as Grades 50LC or 60LC.N
