Thealloys in this specification are strengthened by precipitation invarious temperature ranges. Precipita
4、tion strengthening canoccur upon air cooling after hot rolling, during normalizing,and by another heat treatment. These grades are not intendedfor use in applications above 900F 540C.1.2 Two grades, each with three classes, are provided asfollows:Grade and Class ConditionGrade A, Class 1 as-rolled a

The maximum thickness of GradeA, Classes 2 and 3, is limited only by the capacity of thecomposition to meet the specified mechanical prop
7、erty require-ments; however, current practice normally limits the maximumthickness to 8 in. 200 mm.1.5 Mandatory notch toughness requirements are specifiedfor Grade A, Class 1.1.6 Grade B provides minimum yield strength levels rang-ing from 70 to 75 ksi 480 to 515 MPa, depending onthickness and cond
8、ition.1.7 Grade B plates are limited to a maximum thickness of 2in. 50 mm.1.8 Mandatory notch toughness requirements are specifiedfor the three classes of Grade B.1.9 When the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed that awelding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intendeduse or service
9、will be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specifica-tion A6/A6M for information on weldability.1.10 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivale
