Minimum and maximum limits apply to tests taken both longitudinal and transverse to the direction of rolling. Mechanical properties for conditions other than annealed
or plate thickness over 1 in. (25 mm) may be established by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
B
T equals the thickness of the bend test specimen. Bend tests are not applicable to material over 0.187 in. (4.75 mm) in thickness.
C
For Grades 5, 6 and 32 the elongation on materials under 0.025 in. (0.635 mm) in thickness may be obtained only by negotiation.
D
Elongation for continuous rolled and annealed (strip product from coil) for Grade 9 and Grade 18 shall be 12 % minimum in the longitudinal direction and 8 % minimum
in the transverse direction.
E
Properties for material in the solution treated condition.
F
Material is normally purchased in the solution treated condition. Therefore, properties for aged material shall be negotiated between manufacturer and purchaser.
