2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers carbo
3、n steel bars and shapesproduced from standard rail steel. These bars are furnished inthe as-wrought condition intended for structural use, or bar andshape uses, where high tensile properties are applicable. Thesematerials are available in two strength levels as Grades 50 and60.1.2 The values stated
4、in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.2.

General Requirements5.1 Material fur
15、nished under this specification shall con-form to the applicable requirements of the current edition ofSpecification A 29/A 29M, unless otherwise provided herein.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 MaterialThe material shall be hot wrought fromstandard section “T” rails. No other materials, such as thos
16、eknown by the terms “rerolled,” “rail steel equivalent,” or “railsteel quality,” shall be substituted.6.2 Hot FormingThe material shall be produced by hotforming slit railroad rail parts to yield straight lengths in thesections and nominal sizes specified in 3.1.1.6.3 Condition:6.3.1 The material sh
17、all be furnished hot wrought, aswrought.6.3.2 The material shall be furnished in cut lengths or rangesof random lengths, as specified by the purchaser.7. Chemical Composition7.1 The chemical composition of rails does not changeduring use in track, reheating, slitting or rolling; consequently,the com
18、position of rail steel products will fall within the limitsspecified in Specification A1for standard section “T” rails ofopen-hearth, basic-oxygen, electric-furnace, and Bessemerprocess.7.2 Rail steel products are not supplied to definite compo-sition limits. By mutual agreement with the manufacture
19、r,material may be supplied from rails with a desired range ofcarbon and manganese when such rails are available.8. Mechanical Properties8.1 RequirementsThe material as represented by the testspecimens shall conform to the tensile or hardness require-ments specified in Table 1.8.2 Test SpecimensTest
20、specimens may be taken from afull section or a machined section.8.3 Number of TestsOne tension test or one hardness test,at the manufacturers option, shall be made from each lot.Alotshall consist of one section of the same size produced in onecontinuous shift (turn) of operation (normally an 8-h per
21、iod).9. Dimensions and Permissible Variations9.1 DimensionsThe permissible variations in dimensionsshall be in accordance with the requirements specified inTables 2-7. Due to differences in mill facilities, tolerances ofspecial bar sections vary among the manufacturers and suchtolerances are subject
22、 to agreement between manufacturer andpurchaser.9.2 LengthThe permissible variations for length shall bein accordance with the requirements specified in Table 8.9.3 StraightnessVariations in straightness shall not ex-ceed14 in. (6.4 mm) in any 5 ft (1.52 m); or14 in. 3 numberof feet of length divide
23、d by 5 (6.4 mm 3 number of metres oflength divided by 1.52).10. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance10.1 DescalingThe bars shall be furnished “not des-caled.”11. Certification and Report of Testing11.1 Upon request of the purchaser in the contract or order,a manufacturers certification that the mater
24、ial was manufac-tured and tested in accordance with this specification togetherwith a report of the test results shall be furnished at the time ofshipment.12.
