1、Designation: A921/A921M 93 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Specification forSteel Bars, Microalloy, Hot-Wrought, Special Quality, forSubsequent Hot Forging1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A921/A921M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoptio

2、n or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers hot-wrought, special qualitymicroalloyed carbon s

3、teel bars intended for use as hot forgingstock. The bars shall be hot-wrought, as-wrought, unlessthermal treatment is necessary to ensure cold shearability.1.2 The bars shall be furnished to chemical compositiononly. Chemical composition is based on standard carbon steelgrades modified to include mi

4、croalloying elements such ascolumbium (niobium), vanadium, or molybdenum. Desiredmechanical properties are developed in the subsequent hotforging and controlled cooling operations.1.3 Sections and sizes of bar steel available are covered inSpecification A29/A29M.1.4 Supplementary requirements S1 to

5、S6 are provided foruse when additional controls or requirements are desired.These shall apply only when specified on the purchase order.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text andtables, SI units are shown in brackets. Th

6、e values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.1.6 Unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specifica-tion designation, the material
