2、indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agenci

3、es of the Department of Defense.e1NOTEThe numbering for Tables 1 and 2 was corrected editorially in October 2005.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers high-strength low-alloy struc-tural steel shapes, plates, and bars for welded, riveted, or boltedconstruction intended primarily for use as structur

4、al memberswhere savings in weight mass or added durability areimportant. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of the steel inmost environments is substantially better than that of carbonstructural steels with or without copper addition. When prop-erly exposed to the atmosphere, this steel can be use

5、d bare(unpainted) for many applications (see Note 1). This specifi-cation is limited to material up to 4 in. 100 mm, inclusive, inthickness.NOTE 1For methods of estimating the atmospheric corrosion resis-tance of low-alloy steels, see Guide G 101.1.2 When the steel is to be welded, it is presupposed

6、 that awelding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intendeduse or service will be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specifica-tion A 6/A 6M for information on weldability.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units ar

7、eshown in brackets. The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used inde-pendently of the other. Combining values from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with the specification.1.4 For structural products produced from coil and fur-nished witho

11、tructural prod-ucts that have been cut to individual lengths from a coil. Theprocessor directly controls, or is responsible for, the operationsinvolved in the processing of a coil into a finished structuralproduct. Such operations include decoiling, leveling orstraightening, hot-forming or cold-form
