1、Designation: A838 02 (Reapproved 2013)A838 18Standard Specification forFree-Machining Ferritic Stainless Soft Magnetic Alloy Barfor Relay Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A838; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,

2、 in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers free-machining ferritic stainless soft magnetic alloy

3、produced or supplied expressly incold-finished bar form for use in magnetic cores and other parts requiring a high permeability, low-coercivity stainless steel.1.1.1 This specification does not cover either cast parts or parts produced by powder metallurgy techniques.1.2 Two specific alloy types are

4、 covered. The primary constituents are shown in Table 1. These types have corrosion resistancesimilar to AISI Type 430F and Type 430F, Specification A582/A582M.1.3 This specification covers only these alloy types supplied in cold-finished bars in cross-sectional shapes such as rounds,squares, hexago

5、ns, and octagons with diameters (diagonals) greater than or equal to 0.250 in. (6.35 mm)6.35 mm (0.250 in.) andless than or equal to 1.625 in. (41.28 mm).41.5 mm (1.63 in.).21.4 Certain cold-finished round bar products are capable of being supplied mill annealed to required magnetic properties sucha

6、s low coercivity. The size range that can be mill annealed is from 0.250 to 1.625 in. (6.35 to 41.28 mm).6.35 to 41.5 mm (0.250to 1.63 in.). Other products of these alloys cannot be mill annealed to produce equivalently low coercivity; hence, the finalmachined parts should be heat treated as recomme
