1、Designation: A575 96 (Reapproved 2018)Standard Specification forSteel Bars, Carbon, Merchant Quality, M-Grades1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A575; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la

2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers hot-wrou

Conditions5.1 Merchant quality bars are available in rounds, squares,round cornered squares, hexagons, and bar size shapes under 3in. (76.2 mm), and in flats less than 40.8 lb/ft (60.7 kg/m).Hot-wrought merchant quality carbon st

10、eel bars are producedin cut lengths and coils; the producer should be consultedregarding sections and sizes available in coils.5.2 Merchant quality is available within a composition of0.50 % maximum carbon, 0.60 % maximum manganese,nonresulfurized, non-leaded. The phosphorus content is0.04 %, max, a
