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 bee
3、n approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers deformed and plain carbon-steel bars for concrete reinforcement in cut lengths and coils. Steel barscontaining alloy additions, such as with the American Iron and Steel Institute and the Society of Aut
4、omotive Engineers series ofalloy steels, are permitted if the resulting product meets all the other requirements of this specification. The standard sizes anddimensions of deformed bars and their number designations are given in Table 1. The text of this specification references notesand footnotes w
5、hich provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables) shall not be consideredas requirements of the specification.1.2 Bars are of four minimum yield strength levels: namely, 40 000 280 MPa, 60 000 420 MPa, 75 000 psi 520 MPa, and80 000 550 MPa, designated as Grade
6、40 280, Grade 60 420, Grade 75 520, and Grade 80 550, respectively.1.3 Plain bars, in sizes up to and including 212 in. 63.5 mm in diameter in coils or cut lengths, when ordered shall be furnishedunder this specification in Grade 40 280, Grade 60 420, Grade 75 520, and Grade 80 550. For ductility pr
7、operties (elongationand bending), test provisions of the nearest smaller nominal diameter deformed bar size shall apply. Requirements providing fordeformations and marking shall not be applicable.NOTE 1Welding of the material in this specification should be approached with caution since no specific
8、provisions have been included to enhanceits weldability. When steel is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for the chemical composition and intended use or service should be used. Theuse of the latest edition of AWS D 1.4/D 1.4M is recommended. This document describes the proper selection of
9、the filler metals and preheat/interpasstemperatures, as well as performance and procedure qualification requirements.1.4 Requirements for alternate bar sizes are presented in Annex A1. The requirements in Annex A1 only apply when specifiedby the purchaser (see 4.1.10).1.5 This specification is appli
10、cable for orders in either inch-pound units (as Specification A615) or in SI units (as SpecificationA615M).1.6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shownin brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact e
11、quivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of theother. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof t
12、he user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.

Ordering Information4.1 It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to specify all requirements that are necessary for material ordered to thisspecification. Such requirements shall includ
33、e but are not limited to the following:4.1.1 Quantity (weight) mass,4.1.2 Name of the material (deformed and plain carbon-steel bars for concrete reinforcement),4.1.3 Size,4.1.4 Cut lengths or coils,4.1.5 Deformed or plain,4.1.6 Grade,4.1.7 Packaging (see Section 20),4.1.8 ASTM designation and year
34、of issue, and4.1.9 Certified mill test reports (if desired). (See Section reports, and16.)4.1.10 Optional requirements of Annex A1, if applicable.5. Material and Manufacture5.1 The bars shall be rolled from properly identified heats of mold-cast or strand-cast steel using the electric-furnace,basic-
35、oxygen, or open-hearth process.6. Chemical Composition6.1 The chemical analysis of each heat of steel shall be determined in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, andTerminology A751. The manufacturer shall make the analysis on test samples taken preferably during the pouring of the heat. Theperc
36、entages of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur shall be determined. The phosphorus content thus determined shall notexceed 0.06 %.6.2 A product check, for phosphorus, made by the purchaser shall not exceed that specified in 6.1 by more than 25 %.7. Requirements for Deformations7.1 Deformations
37、 shall be spaced along the bar at substantially uniform distances. The deformations on opposite sides of thebar shall be similar in size, shape, and pattern.7.2 The deformations shall be placed with respect to the axis of the bar so that the included angle is not less than 45. Wherethe line of defor
38、mations forms an included angle with the axis of the bar from 45 to 70 inclusive, the deformations shall alternatelyreverse in direction on each side, or those on one side shall be reversed in direction from those on the opposite side. Where theline of deformations is over 70, a reversal in directio
39、n shall not be required.7.3 The average spacing or distance between deformations on each side of the bar shall not exceed seven tenths of the nominaldiameter of the bar.7.4 The overall length of deformations shall be such that the gap (measured as a chord) between the ends of the deformationsshall n
40、ot exceed 12.5 % of the nominal perimeter of the bar. Where the ends terminate in a rib, the width of the rib shall beconsidered as the gap between these ends. The summation of the gaps shall not exceed 25 % of the nominal perimeter of the bar.The nominal perimeter of the bar shall be 3.1416 times t
41、he nominal diameter.7.5 The spacing, height, and gap of deformations shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.8. Measurements of Deformations8.1 The average spacing of deformations shall be determined by measuring the length of a minimum of ten spaces and dividingthat length by the nu
42、mber of spaces included in the measurement. The measurement shall begin from a point on a deformation atthe beginning of the first space to a corresponding point on a deformation after the last included space. Spacing measurements shallnot be made over a bar area containing bar marking symbols invol
43、ving letters or numbers.8.2 The average height of deformations shall be determined from measurements made on not less than two typical deformations.Determinations shall be based on three measurements per deformation, one at the center of the overall length and the other twoat the quarter points of t
44、he overall length.8.3 Insufficient height, insufficient circumferential coverage, or excessive spacing of deformations shall not constitute cause forrejection unless it has been clearly established by determinations on each lot (Note 2) tested that typical deformation height, gap,or spacing do not c
45、onform to the minimum requirements prescribed in Section 7. No rejection shall be made on the basis ofmeasurements if fewer than ten adjacent deformations on each side of the bar are measured.A615/A615M 133NOTE 2As used within the intent of 8.3, the term “lot” shall mean all the bars of one bar size
46、 and pattern of deformations contained in an individualshipping release or shipping order.9. Tensile Requirements9.1 The material, as represented by the test specimens, shall conform to the requirements for tensile properties prescribed inTable 2.9.2 The yield point or yield strength shall be determ
47、ined by one of the following methods:9.2.1 The yield point shall be determined by the drop or halt of the gage of the tensile testing machine, where the steel testedhas a sharp-kneed or well-defined type of yield point.9.2.2 Where the steel tested does not have a well-defined yield point, the yield
48、strength shall be determined by the offset method(0.2 % offset), as described in Test Methods and Definitions A370. A second tensile test result shall also be required as indicatedin 9.2.2.1.9.2.2.1 When the offset method is used to determine the yield strength, the material, as represented by the test specimens shallconform to an additional requirement: the stress corresponding to a tensile strain of 0.0035 shall be a minimum of 60 000 psi 420MPa for Gra
