3、partment of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers high-strength, low-alloy, hot-and cold-rolled sheet and strip in cut lengths or coils, intendedfor use in structural and miscellaneous purposes, where savingsin weight or added durability are important. These steels haveenhanced atmospheric
4、corrosion resistance and are supplied intwo types: Type 2 contains 0.20 % minimum copper based oncast or heat analysis (0.18 % minimum Cu for product check).Type 4 contains additional alloying elements and provides alevel of corrosion resistance substantially better than that ofcarbon steels with or
5、 without copper addition (Note 1). Whenproperly exposed to the atmosphere, Type 4 steel can be usedbare (unpainted) for many applications.NOTE 1For methods of establishing the atmospheric corrosion resis-tance of low-alloy steels, see Guide G101.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound
6、 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. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards

17、strength low-alloy hot-rolled sheet, dry, mill edge0.106 by 48 by 96 in. for truck frame side members.” Or, “ASTMA606MXX, Type 4 high-strength low-alloy hot-rolled sheet, dry, milledge, 2.7 by 1220 mm by coil for truck frame side members.”5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 ConditionThe material shall b
18、e furnished hot-rolledor cold-rolled as specified on the purchase order.5.2 Heat Treatment Unless otherwise specified, hot-rolledshall be furnished as rolled. When hot-rolled annealed orhot-rolled normalized material is required, it shall be specifiedon the purchase order.6. Chemical Composition6.1
19、The maximum limits of carbon, manganese, and sulfurshall be as prescribed in Table 1, unless otherwise agreed uponbetween the manufacturer and the purchaser.6.2 The manufacturer shall use such alloying elements,combined with the carbon, manganese, and sulfur within thelimits prescribed in Table 1 to
20、 satisfy the mechanical propertiesprescribed in Table 2 or Table 3. Such elements shall beincluded and reported in the specified heat or cast analysis. Asindicated in 1.1, these steels have enhanced atmosphericcorrosion resistance and are supplied in two types: Type 2 andType 4. When requested, the
21、producer shall supply acceptableevidence of corrosion resistance to the purchaser. For Type 2steel, confirmation of the minimum copper content requirementof 1.1 shall be sufficient evidence of corrosion resistance. ForType 4 steel, the basis for this evidence can be a corrosion-resistance index calc
22、ulated from the chemical composition ofthe steel in accordance with Guide G101. To comply withSpecification A606, Type 4 steel shall have a minimumcorrosion-resistance index of 6.0, based upon Guide G101Predictive Method Based on the Data of Larabee and Coburn(see Note 4.)NOTE 4The user is cautioned
23、 that the Guide G101 predictive equation(Predictive Method Based on the Data of Larabee and Coburn) forcalculation of an atmospheric corrosion index has been verified only forthe composition limits stated in that guide.6.3 When the steel is used in welded applications, weldingprocedure shall be suit
