ASTM A1031/A1031M-12(2017)

Annotation of standard text ASTM A1031/A1031M-12(2017) :

This specification deals with the hot-rolled, heavy thickness coils available for three designations: alloy steel, drawing steel, and structural alloy steel. Alloy steel is intended for general or miscellaneous use where bending and moderate forming is required. Drawing steel is used for severe cold plastic deformation such as deep drawn or severely formed parts. The material is available only in coils such as strip and sheet. As-rolled and annealed heat treatment shall be used for manufacturing the material. Drawing steel shall be furnished with a spheroidized annealed heat treatment unless otherwise specified. Heat analysis shall conform to the required grade specified for standard alloy steel, nonstandard alloy steel, and structural alloy steel. Grades shall conform to the required chemical composition for carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, copper, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. Mechanical tests for regular quality alloy steel and strip are not applicable; but for drawing steel and structural alloy steel, tension and hardness tests are required.
