3、ment of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers the general requirements forsteel sheet in coils and cut lengths. It applies to the followingspecifications that describe carbon steel, structural steel, andhigh-strength, low-alloy steel (HSLA) furnished as hot-rolledsheet and cold-rolled sheet

4、: Specifications A 414/A 414M,A 424, A 606, A 659/A 659M, A 794, A 1008/A 1008M,A 1011/A 1011M, and A 1039/A 1039M.1.2 This specification is not applicable to hot-rolled heavy-thickness carbon sheet coils (Specification A 635/A 635M).1.3 In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirementsof th

5、e individual material specification shall prevail over thoseof this general specification.1.4 For the purposes of determining conformance with thisand the appropriate product specification referenced in 1.1,values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the right handplace of figures used in express

6、ing the limiting values inaccordance with the rounding method of Practice E29.1.5 AnnexA1 lists permissible variations in dimensions andmass (see Note 1) in SI metric units. The values listed are notexact conversions of the values listed in the inch-pound tables,but instead are rounded or rationaliz

7、ed values. Conformance toAnnex A1 is mandatory when the “M” specification is used.NOTE 1The term weight is used when inch-pound units are thestandard. However, under SI the preferred term is mass.1.6 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the t

8、ext, the SI units areshown 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.1.7 This specification and the applicable mater

9、ial specifica-tions are expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units.However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” speci-fication designation (SI units), the material shall be furnishedto inch-pound units.2.

If more than one organizationcontrols or is responsible for (or both) hot rolling and process-ing operations, the organization that con

41、trols and is responsiblefor the hot rolling is termed the hot roll manufacturer and theorganization or organizations controlling and responsible forthe processing operations is/are termed the processor or pro-cessors. Likewise, one organization may be the manufacturerof the hot roll coil and another

42、 the manufacturer of the cold rollcoil. In such case, the organization responsible for the conver-sion of the hot roll coil to a cold roll coil and other processingoperations will also be termed the cold roll manufacturer andorganizations performing additional processing operations tothe cold roll c

Materials and

46、 Manufacture4.1 Unless otherwise specified, hot-rolled material shall befurnished hot-rolled, not annealed, not pickled.4.2 Coil breaks, stretcher strains, and fluting can occurduring the users processing of hot-rolled or hot-rolled pickledsheet. When any of these features are detrimental to theappl

47、ication, the manufacturer shall be notified at time ofordering in order to properly process the sheet.4.3 Cold-rolled carbon steel sheet is available as discussedin 10.2, 10.3, and in Table 1.4.4 Unless specified as a full-hard product, cold-rolled sheetis annealed after being cold reduced to thickn

48、ess. The an-nealed, cold-rolled sheet can be used as annealed last (deadsoft) for unexposed end-use applications. When cold-rolledsheet is used for unexposed applications and coil breaks are ahazard in uncoiling, it may be necessary to further process thematerial. In this case the manufacturer shoul

49、d be consulted.After annealing, cold-rolled sheet is generally given a lightskin pass to impart shape or may be given a heavier skin passor temper pass to prevent the phenomenon known as stretcherstraining or fluting, when formed. Temper passing also pro-vides a required surface texture.4.5 Temper Rolling:4.5.1 Unless otherwise specified, cold-rolled sheet for ex-posed applications shall be temper rolled and is usuallyspecified and furnished in the strain free condition as shipped.SeeAppendix X1, Effect ofAging of Cold-Rolled Carbon SteelSheet on D
