A These designations refer to the latest issue of the respective specifications,
which appear either in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 01.05, or as
reprints obtainable from ASTM.
1.2 In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirements
of the purchase order, the individual material specification, and
this general specification shall prevail in the sequence named.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded as the 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 inde-
pendently of the other. Combining values from the two systems
may result in nonconformance with the specification.
1.4 For purposes of determining conformance to this speci-
fication and the various material specifications referenced in
1.1, dimensional values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in
the right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting
values in accordance with the rounding method of Practice
E 29.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.1.1 Hot-Wrought Steel Bars—Steel bars produced by hot
forming ingots, blooms, billets, or other semifinished forms to
yield straight lengths (or coils, depending upon size, section,
and mill equipment) in sections that are uniform throughout
their length, and in the following sections and sizes:
3.1.1.1 Rounds, 7⁄32 to 10.0 in. [5.5 to 250 mm], inclusive,
3.1.1.2 Squares, 7⁄32 to 6.0 in. [6 to 160 mm], inclusive,
3.1.1.3 Round-Cornered Squares, 7⁄32 to 8.0 in. [6 to 200
mm], inclusive,
3.1.1.4 Flats, 1⁄4 to 8 in. inclusive, in width: 13⁄64 in. in
minimum thickness up to 6 in. in width; and 0.230 in. in
minimum thickness for over 6 to 8 in. in width, inclusive [over
5 mm in thickness up to 150 mm in width; and over 6 mm in
thickness for over 150 mm through 200 mm in width].
Maximum thickness for all widths is 4 in. [100 mm].
3.1.1.5 Hexagons and Octagons, 1⁄4 to 41⁄16 in. [6 to 103
mm], inclusive, between parallel surfaces,
3.1.1.6 Bar Size Shapes—Angles, channels, tees, zees,
when their greatest cross-sectional dimension is under 3 in. [75
mm], and
3.1.1.7 Special Bar Sections—Half-rounds, ovals, half-
ovals, other special bar size sections.
3.1.2 Cold-Finished Steel Bars—Steel bars produced by
cold finishing previously hot-wrought bars by means of cold
drawing, cold forming, turning, grinding, or polishing (singly
or in combination) to yield straight lengths or coils in sections
that are uniform throughout their length and in the following
sections and sizes:
3.1.2.1 Rounds, 9 in. [230 mm] and under in diameter,
3.1.2.2 Squares, 6 in. [150 mm] and under between parallel
surfaces,
3.1.2.3 Hexagons, 4 in. [100 mm] and under between
parallel surfaces,
3.1.2.4 Flats, 1⁄8 in. [3 mm] and over in thickness and not
over 12 in. [300 mm] in width, and
3.1.2.5 Special Bar Sections.
3.1.3 Lot—Unless otherwise specified in the contract or
order, a lot shall consist of all bars submitted for inspection at
the same time of the same heat, condition, finish, size, or shape.
For bars specified in the quenched and tempered condition,
when heat treated in batch-type furnaces, a lot shall consist of
all bars from the same heat, of the same prior condition, the
same size, and subjected to the same heat treatment in one
tempering charge. For bars specified in the quenched and
tempered condition, when heat treated without interruption in a
continuous-type furnace, a lot shall consist of all bars from the
same heat, of the same prior condition, of the same size, and
subjected to the same heat treatment.
4. Chemical Composition
4.1 Limits:
4.1.1 The chemical composition shall conform to the re-
quirements specified in the purchase order or the individual
product specifications. For convenience the grades commonly
specified for carbon steel bars are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
Bars may be ordered to these grade designations and when so
ordered shall conform to the specified limits by heat analysis.
4.1.2 When compositions other than those shown in Tables
1 and 2 are required, the composition limits shall be prepared
using the ranges and limits shown in Table 3 for carbon steel
and Table 4 for alloy steel.
4.2 Heat or Cast Analysis:
4.2.1 The chemical composition of each heat or cast shall be
determined by the manufacturer in accordance with Test
Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751.
4.2.2 The heat or cast analysis shall conform to the require-
ments specified in the product specification or purchase order.
These can be the heat chemical range and limit for a grade
designated in Tables 1 and 2, or another range and limit in
accordance with 4.1.2, or with requirements of the product
specification.
NOTE 2—Heat analysis for lead is not determinable since lead is added
to the ladle stream while each ingot is poured. When specified as an added
element to a standard steel, the percentage of lead is reported as 0.15 to
0.35 incl, which is the range commonly specified for this element.

4.2.3 If requested or required, the heat analysis shall be
reported to the purchaser or his representative.
4.2.4 Reporting of significant figures and rounding shall be
in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology
A 751.
4.3 Product Analysis:
4.3.1 Merchant quality carbon bar steel is not subject to
rejection for product analysis unless misapplication of a heat is
clearly indicated.
4.3.2 Analyses may be made by the purchaser from finished
bars other than merchant quality representing each heat of
open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-furnace steel. The
chemical composition thus determined shall not vary from the
limits specified in the applicable specification by more than the
amounts prescribed in Table 5 and Table 6, but the several
determinations of any element, excluding lead, in a heat may
not vary both above and below the specified range. Rimmed or
capped steel is characterized by a lack of homogeneity in its
composition, especially for the elements carbon, phosphorus,
and sulfur; therefore, when rimmed or capped steel is specified
or required, the limitations for these elements shall not be
applicable. Because of the degree to which phosphorus and
sulfur segregate, the limitations for these elements shall not be
applicable to rephosphorized or resulfurized steels.
4.3.3 Samples for product analysis shall be taken by one of
the following methods:
4.3.3.1 Applicable to small sections whose cross-sectional
area does not exceed 0.75 in.2 [500 mm2] such as rounds,

A Maximum unless otherwise indicated.
B When silicon is required, the following ranges and limits are commonly specified: 0.10 %, max, 0.10 % to 0.20 %, 0.15 % to 0.35 %, 0.20 % to 0.40 %, or 0.30 % to
0.60 %.
C Copper can be specified when required as 0.20 % minimum.
D When lead is required as an added element to a standard steel, a range of 0.15 to 0.35 % inclusive is specified. Such a steel is identified by inserting the letter “L”
between the second and third numerals of the grade designation, for example, 10 L 45. A cast or heat analysis is not determinable when lead is added to the ladle stream.
E When boron treatment for killed steels is specified, the steels can be expected to contain 0.0005 to 0.003 % boron. If the usual titanium additive is not permitted, the
steels can be expected to contain up to 0.005 % boron.
F The elements bismuth, calcium, selenium, or tellurium may be added as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier.
G Unless prohibited by the purchaser, the manganese content may exceed 0.60 % on heat analysis to a maximum of 0.75 %, provided the carbon range on heat analysis
has the minimum and maximum reduced by 0.01 % for each 0.05 % manganese over 0.60 %.

TABLE 2 Grade Designations and Chemical Compositions of Alloy Steel Bars
NOTE 1—Small quantities of certain elements are present in alloy steels, which are not specified or required. These elements are considered as
incidental and may be present to the following maximum amounts: copper, 0.35 %; nickel, 0.25 %; chromium, 0.20 % and molybdenum, 0.06 %.
NOTE 2—Where minimum and maximum sulfur content is shown it is indicative of resulfurized steel.
NOTE 3—The chemical ranges and limits shown in Table 2 are produced to product analysis tolerances shown in Table 6.
NOTE 4—Standard alloy steels can be produced with a lead range of 0.15–0.35 %. Such steels are identified by inserting the letter “L” between the
second and third numerals of the AISI number, for example, 41 L 40. A cast or heat analysis is not determinable when lead is added to the ladle stream.
