Materials and Manufacture3.1 The steel shall be made by a suitable steelmaking process.3.2 If secondary melting, such as electroslag remelting or vacuum remelting, is used, the heat shall be defin
33、ed as all of the ingotsremelted from a single primary heat.3.3 If steels of different grades are sequentially strand cast, the resultant transition material shall be removed using anestablished procedure that positively separates the grades.3.4 If a specific type of melting is required by the purcha
