General requirements for delivery
Material shall conform to the requirements of ASTM A 6.
This grade has higher tensile and yield strengths resulting from the addition of small amounts of one or more alloying elements. The choice of alloying element, whether columbium, vanadium, nitrogen, or a combination of these is at the option of the producer unless otherwise specified.
For certain applications, notch toughness may be an important requirement and should be addressed at the time the order is placed.
This specification covers structural shapes, bars, sheet piling, and plate to be used for construction of bridges, buildings, and other structures.
