Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet and Strip, Heavy-Thickness Coils, Hot-Rolled, Carbon, Commercial, Drawing, Structural, High-Strength Low-Alloy, High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved Formability, and Ultra-High Strength
1.1 This specification covers hot-rolled, heavy-thickness coils beyond the size limits of Specification A1011/A1011M.
1.2 The product is available in six designations: Commercial Steel, Drawing Steel, Structural Steel, High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel, High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel with Improved Formability, and Ultra-High Strength Steel.
1.3 This material is available only in coils described as follows:
| Product | Size Limits, Coils Only | |
|
| Width, in. [mm] | Thickness, in. [mm] |
| Strip | Over 8 to 12, incl | 0.230 to 1.000, incl |
| Sheet | Over 12 | 0.230 to 1.000, incl |
Note 1: The changes in width limits with the publication of A635/A635M – 06a result in a change in tensile testing direction for material from 0.180 in. [4.5 mm] to 0.230 in. exclusive [6.0 mm exclusive] over 48 in. [1200 mm] wide as that material is now covered by Specification A568/A568M – 06a. The purchaser is advised to discuss this change with the supplier.
1.4 Sheet and strip in coils of sizes noted in 1.3 are covered by this specification only with the following provisions:
