Description / Abstract:
This specification covers hot-wrought alloy steel bars. Bar
applications include forging, heat treating, cold drawing,
machining and many structural components (Note 1).
NOTE 1-A guide for the selection of steel bars is contained in
Practice A400.
The bars shall be furnished in the grades specified in Table 1.
Sections and sizes of bar steel available are covered in
Specification A29/A29M. Hot-wrought alloy steel bars are produced
in cut lengths and coils; the manufacturer should be consulted
regarding sections and sizes available in coils, produced to a
chemical composition.
Some applications may require superior surface quality, or
special chemical restrictions, metallurgical characteristics, heat
treatment, or surface finishes which the purchaser may obtain by
designating one or more of the available Supplementary
Requirements.
