(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
ABSTRACT
This specification covers hot-rolled and cold-rolled drawing alloy steel sheets and strips for applications involving severe cold plastic deformation such as deep drawn or severely formed parts. Materials may be furnished in several conditions, heat treatments, surface finishes, and edges, as specified herein, in coils or cut lengths. Unless otherwise specified, specimens shall be heat treated by spheroidize annealing. Materials shall be tested and conform to specified values of chemical composition, metallurgical structure or microstructure, tensile strength, elongation, and Rockwell hardness. Unless otherwise specified, hot-rolled specimens shall be surface finished by descaling and oiling, and furnished with mill edge. While, cold-rolled specimens shall have a commercial dull matte surface finish and be oiled, and furnished with cut edge for sheets, and No. 3 edge for strips.
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.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
