A.S.T.M. Designation: A 19 - 36
These specifications are issued under the fixed designation A 19; the final num­
ber indicates the year of original adoption as standard or, in the case of revision, the
year of last revision.

cover quenched-and-tempered carbon-steel driving axles, engine and
trailing-truck axles, main and side rods, straps, crank pins and piston
rods.

(b) In the case of boring, the diameter of the hole, unless other­
wise specified, shall be at least 20 per cent of the minimum outside
diameter of the forging, exclusive of collars and flanges.

cool to a temperature below the critical range, under suitable condi-

each quenching charge. Finally, they shall be uniformly reheated to
the proper temperature for tempering or "drawing back" (a group
thus reheated being known as a "tempering charge"), and allowed to

for analysis may be taken from the forging or from a full-size prolonga­

of solid forgings, and at any point midway between the inner and
outer surfaces of the wall of bored forgings; or turnings may be taken
from a test specimen.
(b) In addition to the complete analysis specified in Paragraph (a),
a phosphorus determination may be made by the purchaser from each
broken tension test specimen. The phosphorus content thus deter­
