3、d-rolled carbon steel strip incut lengths or coils, furnished to closer tolerances than cold-rolled carbon steel sheet, with specific temper, with specificedge or specific finish, and in sizes as follows:Width, in. Thickness, in.Over12 to 231516 0.300 and underOver 12.5 to 600 mm 7.6 mm and under1.2
4、 Cold-rolled strip is produced with a maximum specifiedcarbon not exceeding 0.25 percent.1.3 Strip tolerance products may be available in widthswider than 231516 in. 600 mm by agreement between pur-chaser and supplier. However, such products are technicallyclassified as cold rolled sheet. The tolera
5、nces, finishes,tempers, edges, and available widths and thicknesses differen-tiate cold rolled strip from the product known as cold rolledsheet which is defined by Specification A568/A568M and fromcold rolled high carbon strip which is defined by SpecificationA682/A682M.1.4 For the purpose of determ
6、ining conformance with thisspecification, values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in theright hand place of figures used in expressing the limitingvalues in accordance with the rounding method of PracticeE29.1.5 The SI portions of the tables contained herein listpermissible variations in dimensi
7、ons and mass (see Note 1)inSI (metric) units. The values listed are not exact conversions ofthe values listed in the inch-pound tables, but instead arerounded or rationalized values. Conformance to SI tolerancesis mandatory when the “M” specification is used.NOTE 1The term weight is used when inch-p
8、ound units are thestandard. However, under SI the preferred term is mass.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other
9、. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.7 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound unitsand SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable“M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall befurnished to inch-pound uni

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 annealingthe process of heating to and holding at asuitable temperature and then cooling at a suitable rate, forsuch purposes as reducing hardness, f
18、acilitating cold working,producing a desired microstructure, or obtaining desiredmechanical, physical, or other properties.3.1.1.1 box annealinginvolves annealing in a sealed con-tainer under conditions that minimize oxidation. The strip isusually heated slowly to a temperature below the transforma-
19、tion range, but sometimes above or within it, and is then cooledslowly.3.1.1.2 continuous annealinginvolves heating the strip incontinuous strands through a furnace having a controlledatmosphere followed by a controlled cooling.3.1.2 carbon steelthe designation for steel when no mini-mum content is
20、specified or required for aluminum, chromium,cobalt, columbium, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten,vanadium, zirconium or any other element added to obtain adesired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copperdoes not exceed 0.40 % or when the maximum contentspecified for any of the fo
21、llowing elements does not exceed thepercentage noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, or copper0.60.3.1.2.1 DiscussionIn all carbon steels small quantities ofcertain residual elements unavoidably retained from raw ma-terials are sometimes found which are not specified or required,such as copper, nicke
22、l, molybdenum, chromium, and so forth.These elements are considered as incidental and are notnormally reported.3.1.3 cold reductionthe process of reducing the thicknessof the strip at room temperature. The amount of reduction isgreater than that used in skin-rolling (see 3.1.7).3.1.4 dead softthe te
23、mper of strip produced without defi-nite control of stretcher straining or fluting. It is intended fordeep drawing applications where such surface disturbances arenot objectionable.3.1.5 finishthe degree of smoothness or luster of the strip.The production of specific finishes requires special prepar
24、ationand control of the roll surfaces employed.3.1.6 normalizingheating to a suitable temperature abovethe transformation range and then cooling in air to a tempera-ture substantially below the transformation range. In brightnormalizing the furnace atmosphere is controlled to preventoxidizing of the
25、 strip surface.3.1.7 skin-rolleda term denoting a relatively light coldrolling operation following annealing. It serves to reduce thetendency of the steel to flute or stretcher strain during fabrica-tion. It is also used to impart surface finish, or affect hardnessor other mechanical properties, or
26、to improve flatness.3.1.8 tempera designation by number to indicate thehardness as a minimum, as a maximum, or as a range. Thetempers are obtained by the selection and control of chemicalcomposition, by amounts of cold reduction, by thermaltreatment, and by skin-rolling.3.2 Refer to Terminology A941

30、ASTM A 109-XX, for Toaster Shells.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 The steel shall be made by the open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace process.5.2 Cold-rolled carbon steel strip is normally manufacturedfrom continuously cast steel with aluminum used as thedeoxidizer. However, some applicati
31、ons are specified as siliconkilled. Ingot cast rimmed, capped and semi-killed steels aresubject to limited availability.5.3 Cold-rolled carbon steel strip is manufactured fromhot-rolled descaled coils by cold reducing to the desiredthickness on a single stand mill or on a tandem mill consistingof se
32、veral single stands in series. Sometimes an anneal is usedat some intermediate thickness to facilitate further cold reduc-tion or to obtain desired temper and mechanical properties inthe finished strip. An anneal and skin pass is typically used asthe final step for Temper 4 and 5.6. Chemical Composi
33、tion6.1 Heat AnalysisAn analysis for each heat of steel shallbe made by the manufacturer to determine the percentage ofelements shown in Table 1. This analysis shall conform to therequirements shown in Table 1. When requested, heat analysisshall be reported to purchaser or his representative.6.2 Pro
34、duct, Check, or Verification Analysis may be madeby the purchaser on the finished material.6.2.1 Capped or rimmed steels are not technologicallysuited to product analysis due to the nonuniform character oftheir chemical composition and therefore, the tolerances inA109/A109M 162Table 2 do not apply.
35、Product analysis is appropriate on thesetypes of steel only when misapplication is apparent or forcopper when copper steel is specified.6.2.2 For steels other than rimmed or capped, when productanalysis is made by the purchaser, the chemical analysis shallnot vary from the limits specified by more t
36、han the amounts inTable 2. The several determinations of any element shall notvary both above and below the specified range.6.3 For referee purposes, if required, Test Methods,Practices, and Terminology A751 shall be used.6.4 For applications where cold-rolled strip is to be welded,care must be exer
37、cised in selection of chemical composition, aswell as mechanical properties, for compatibility with thewelding process and its effect on altering the properties.7. Temper and Bend Test Requirement7.1 Cold-rolled carbon strip specified to temper numbersshall conform to the Rockwell hardness requireme
38、nts shown inTable 3.7.1.1 When a temper number is not specified, Rockwellhardness requirements are established by agreement.7.2 It is recommended that hardness values be specified inthe same scale as that which will be used in testing the strip.7.3 Bend tests shall be conducted at room temperature a
