ASTM A507-05
(Specification)Standard Specification for Drawing Alloy Steel, Sheet and Strip, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled
Standard Specification for Drawing Alloy Steel, Sheet and Strip, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers hot-rolled and cold-rolled drawing alloy-steel sheet and strip. Material of this quality is produced principally for applications involving severe cold plastic deformation such as deep drawn or severely formed parts. This steel is produced by a closely controlled steel-making practice designed to assure internal soundness, relative uniformity of chemical composition, and freedom from injurious imperfections.
1.2 The material covered by this specification may be furnished in several conditions, heat treatments, surface finishes, and edges, as specified herein, in coils or cut lengths.
