(Specification)Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet, for Porcelain Enameling
Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet, for Porcelain Enameling
ABSTRACT
This specification covers standard requirements for sheet steel in coils and cut lengths for porcelain enameling. Heat analysis of Type I, Type II, and Type III steels shall conform to the prescribed chemical composition for carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and others. However, an exception is made on carbon, since heat analysis of carbon is not appropriate for Type I. The material shall also conform to the required mechanical properties such as bending and formability.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers sheet steel in coils and cut lengths for porcelain enameling. The compositions and processing of these steels are such that articles for porcelain enameling may be fabricated from them and, under proper conditions, enameled. The steels are furnished as Type I, Type II, and Type III. Type I and Type II are supplied in two designations, Commercial Steel and Drawing Steel. Type III steel is interstitial-free and does not require a designation.
