ASTM A1011/A1011M-02

Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet and Strip, Hot-Rolled, Carbon, Structural, High-Strength Low-Alloy and High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved Formability

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers hot-rolled structural, high strength-low alloy, and high-strength low-alloy with improved formability steel sheet and strip, in coils and cut lengths.
1.2 Hot rolled steel sheet and strip is available in the designations as listed in 4.1.
1.3 This specification is not applicable to the steel covered by Specification A635/A635M.
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other.

3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1 aging—loss of ductility with an increase in hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength that occurs when steel, which has
been slightly cold worked (such as by temper rolling) is stored for some time.
3.2.1.1 Discussion—Aging also increases the tendency toward stretcher strains and fluting.
3.2.2 stabilization—the addition of one or more nitride or carbide forming elements, or both, such as titanium and columbium,
to control the level of the interstitial elements carbon and nitrogen in the steel.
3.2.2.1 Discussion—Stabilization improves formability and increases resistance to aging.

technique for removing impurities or for decarburizing the steel.
