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.

4. Manufacture
4.1 Annealing—Blooms and billets of the 400 series of stainless steel types which are highly hardenable, such as Types 414,
420, 431, 440A, 440B, and 440C, are commonly annealed prior to shipment and so specified in order to avoid the possibility of
thermal cracking. Those grades are not normally furnished in the as-rolled or as-forged condition. Other hardenable grades, such
as Types 403, 410, 416, and 416 Se, which may also require annealing, depending on their composition and size, are furnished
suitable for cold cutting when so specified on the purchase order.
