Chemical Requirements4.1 Chemical CompositionThe steel shall conform to therequirements for chemical composition specified in Table 1,unless otherwise required by the purchaser (see 3.2.4).4.1.1 The purchaser may use the product analysis provi

18、sionsof Specification A788/A788M for tires produced to the require-ments of Table 1. By agreement with the manufacturer, theseprovisions may be used also when the provisions of 3.2.4apply.5. Manufacture5.1 DiscardSufficient discard shall be made from eachingot to assure freedom from piping and undue

19、 segregation.5.2 Post Forge CoolingAll tires, immediately after beingrolled, shall be slow cooled in a manner to accomplish propertransformation without damage.5.3 Heat Treatment:5.3.1 Classes AHT, BHT, CHT, and DHT shall be heated toand held at the proper temperature for a sufficient time to effect

20、the desired transformation and then shall be immersed in asuitable quenching medium.5.3.2 Following quenching, the tires shall be charged into afurnace for tempering to meet the hardness requirements of6.1.1, and then cooled under suitable conditions.6. Hardness Requirement6.1 Classes AHT, BHT, CHT,

21、 and DHT shall be accepted onthe basis of a Brinell hardness test on the front face of 10 % ofthe tires from each heat at a location approximately 1 in.25 mm below the tread.6.1.1 The tires shall conform to the following limits:Class AHT BHT CHT DHTBrinellhardness223 to277255 to302285 to331321 to363
