Description / Abstract:
This specification covers cold-finished carbon and alloy steel
bars produced in straight length and coil to chemical compositions.
Cold-finished bars are suitable for heat treatment, for machining
into components, or for use in the as-finished condition as
shafting or in constructional applications or for other similar
purposes (Note 1). Grades of steel are identified by grade numbers
or by chemical composition.
Note 1—A guide for the selection of steel bars
is contained in ASTM A400
Some end uses may require one or more of the available
designations shown under Supplementary Requirements. Supplementary
requirements shall apply only when specified individually by the
purchaser.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI
units that are provided for information only and are not considered
