1、Designation: A 532/A 532M 93a (Reapproved 2008)Standard Specification forAbrasion-Resistant Cast Irons1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 532/A 532M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la
2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () 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 a group of wh
