same size, and subjected to the same heat treatment,
4, Chemical Composition
4A Limits:
4.1.1 The chemical composition shall conform to
the requirements 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.PART A —FERROUS MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS,
4.2. Heat or Cast Analysis:
4.2.1. The chemical composition of each heat or
cast shall be determined by the manufacturer in accor-
dance with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology
ATS
42.2 The heat or cast analysis shall conform to
the requirements 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 I — Heat analysis for lad isnot determinable since Tea is
auded wo the ladle steam while each ingot is poured. When specified
san added elemento standand steel, theperentage of la is reported
2350.15 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 A751.
43 Product Analysis:
43.1 Merchant quality carbon bar stel is not sub-
jeotto ejection for product analysis unless misapplication
of a heat is clearly indicated,
43.22 Analyses may be made by the purchaser from
finished bars other than merchant quality representing
each heat of open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric-fur-
nace 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.
sleel is characterized by a lack of homogeneity in its,
composition, especially for the elements carbon, phos-
phorus, and sulfur; therefore, when rimmed or capped
steel is specified or required, the limitations for these
clements shall not be applicable, Because of the degree
to which phosphorus and sulfur segregate, the limitations
for these elements shall not be applicable to rephospho-
rized or resulfurized steels.
4.33. Samples for product analysis shall be taken
by one of the following methods
433.1 Applicable to small sections whose cross-
sectional arca does not exceed 0.75 in.? [500 mm”] such
as rounds, squares, hexagons, etc. Chips are taken by
rilling or machining the full cross section of the piece.
Drilling is not a feasible method for sampling sizes 0.75,
in? 2 and smaller
129
SA-29/SA-29M
433.2 Applicable to products where the width
of the cross section greatly exceeds the thickness, such
as bar size shapes and light flat bars. Chips are taken
by drilling entirely through the steel at a point midway
between the edge and the middle of the section, or by
milling or machining the entire cross section.
43.3.3. Applicable to large rounds, squares semi-
finished, etc, Chips are taken at any point midway
between the outside and the center ofthe piece by drilling
parallel to the axis or by milling or machining the full
cross section. In cases where these methods are not practi-
cable, the piece may be drilled on the side, but chips are
‘not taken until they represent the portion midway between
the outside and the center.
43.34 When the steel is subject to tension test
requirements, the tension test specimen can also be used
for product analysis. In that case, chips for product analy-
sis can be taken by drilling entirely through the tension
test specimens or by the method described in 4.3.3.1
4.3.4. When chips are taken by drilling, the diameter
of the drill used shall conform to the following,
Area of Sample
‘Cross Section, “Approximate Drill
in? (en?) Diameter in. (x)
16 {300} oF less 4025)
‘Over 16 {100} 1 p50)
4.3.5. The minimum number of samples to be taken
from material representing the same heat or lot before
rejection by the purchaser shall be as follows:
Minimam Number
of Samples
15 tons (15 Mg) and under 4
(Over 15 tons (15 Ma] 6
4.3.6. In case the number of pieces in a heat is less
than the number of samples required, one sample from
cach piece shall be considered sufficient.
4.3.7 In the event that product analysis determina
tions are outside the permissible limits as prescribed in
4.3.2, additional samples shall be analyzed and the accept-
ability of the heat negotiated between the purchaser and
the producer.
44 Referee Analysis — In case a referee analysis is
requited and agreed upon to resolve a dispute concerning
the results of a chemical analysis, the referee analysis
shall be performed in accordance with the latest issue of
‘Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751, unless
otherwise agreed upon between the manufacturer and the
purchaser.SA-29/88.29M
5. Grain Size Requirement
SL Austenitic Grain Size
Sl1 When a coarse austenitic grain size is speci-
fied, the steel shall have a grain size number of 1 to 5
exclusive as determined in accordance with Test Methods
E112. Conformance to this grain size of 70% of the
grains in the area examined shall constitute the basis of
acceptance. One test per heat shall be made.
5.1.2. When a fine austenitic grain size is specified,
the steel shall have a grain size number of 5 or higher
as determined in accordance with Test Methods E 112,
Conformance to this grain size of 70% of the area exam-
{ned shall constitute the basis of acceptance. One test per
heat shall be made unless the provisions of 5.1.2.1 or
5.1.2.2 are exercised.
5.1.2.1 When aluminum is used as the grain
refining element, the fine austenitic grain size requirement
shall be deemed to be fulfilled if, on heat analysis, the
aluminum content is not less than 0.020% total aluminum
or, alternately, 0.015% acid soluble aluminum, The ala-
‘minum content shall be reported. The grain size test speci-
fied in 5.1.2 shall be the referee test.
5.1.2.2 By agreement between purchaser and
supplier, columbium or vanadium or both may be used
for grain refining instead of or with aluminum. When
columbium or vanadium is used as a grain refining ele-
‘ment, the fine austenitic grain size requirement shall be
deemed to be falfilled if, on heat analysis, the columbium
or vanadium content is as follows (the content of the
elements shall be reported with the heat analysis):
Steels having 0.25% carbon or tes
cb 0.025 min
v 0.05 min
Steels having over 0.25% carbo:
ch 015 min
v (0. min
‘The maximum contents shall be:
cb ‘0.05 max
v 0.08 mex
csv 0.06 max
$.1.2.3 When provisions of 5.1.2.1 or 5.1.2.2 are
exercised, a grain size testis not required unless specified
by the purchaser. Unless otherwise specified, fine austen-
itic grain size shall be certified using the analysis of grain
refining element(s).
5.1.2.4 Referee Test —In the event that the
chemical analysis of columbium or vanadium does not
meet the requirements of 5.1.2.2, the grain size test shown
in 5.1.2 shall be the referee test unless an alternative test
method is agreed upon between the manufacturer and the
purchaser.

4 This table includes tolerances for bars that have been annealed, sphere annealed, normalized, nor-
malized and tempered, or quenched and tempered before cold fisting. Ths table doesnot include toer-
lances for bars that are annealee, spheriodize annealed, normalized, normalized and tempered, or
‘quenched and tempered after cold finishing; the prosucer should be consulted for tolerances for such bars.
* Width governs the tolerance for both width and thickness of ats. For exemple, when the maximum
‘of carbon range i 0.26% or less for a at 50 mim wide and 25 mm thick, the wid tolerance is 0.13,
rim and the thickness tolerance isthe same, namely 0.13 mm.

old-nished bars requires the utmost care in subsequent handling. Specific straightness tolerances are saratimes required for carbon and
alloy steels In which case the purchaser should inform the manufacturer of the straightess tolerances ana the methods to be used in checking
the straightness.
