General Requirements5.1 Material furnished under this specification shall con-form to the applicable requirements of the current edition ofSpecification A29/A29M, unless otherwise provided herein.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 MaterialThe material shall be hot wrought fromstandard section “
16、T” rails. No other materials, such as thoseknown 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
17、 3.1.1.6.3 Condition:6.3.1 The material shall 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,
18、 slitting or rolling; consequently,the composition of rail steel products will fall within the limitsspecified in Specification A1 for standard section “T” rails ofbasic-oxygen or electric-furnace process.7.2 Rail steel products are not supplied to definite compo-sition limits. By mutual agreement w
19、ith the manufacturer,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
20、Test SpecimensTest 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 (
21、normally an 8-h period).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 suchtol
22、erances are subject 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 exceed14 in. (6.4 mm) in any 5 ft (1.52 m); or14 in. number of feet
23、of length divided by 5 (6.4 mm number of metres of lengthdivided by 1.52).10. Finish and Appearance10.1 DescalingThe bars shall be furnished “not descaled.”11. Certification and Report of Testing11.1 Upon request of the purchaser in the contract or order,a manufacturers certification that the materi
24、al 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.
