Designation:A 935/A 935M 97aStandard Specification forSteel,Sheet and Strip,Heavy Thickness Coils,HighStrength,Low-Alloy,Columbium or Vanadium,or Both,Hot-Rolled1This standard is issued under the fixed designationA935/A935M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers hot-rolled,heavy-thickness,high-strength,low-alloy columbium,or vanadium hot-rolledsheet and strip,or combinations thereof,in coils beyond thesize limits of Specification A 607.This material is intended formiscellaneous applications where greater strength and savingsin weight are important.The material is available as twoclasses.They are similar in strength level,except that Class 2offers improved weldability and more formability than Class 1.Atmospheric corrosion resistance of these steels is equivalentto plain carbon steels.With copper specified,the atmosphericcorrosion resistance is somewhat enhanced.NOTE1For methods of establishing the atmospheric corrosion resis-tance of low-alloy steels see Guide G 101.1.1.1 This material is available only in coils described asfollows:Size Limits,Coils OnlyProductWidth,in.(mm)Thickness,in.(mm)StripOver 8 to 12 incl(Over 200 to 300)0.230 to 1.000 incl(Over 6.0 to 25)SheetOver 12 to 48 incl(Over 300 to 1200)0.230 to 1.000 incl(Over 6.0 to 25)Over 48(Over 1200)0.180 to 1.000 incl(Over 4.5 to 25)1.2 Sheet and strip in coils of sizes noted in 1.1 can beincluded in this specification only with the following:1.2.1 The material is not to be converted into steel plates forstructural or pressure vessel use unless tested in completeaccordance with the appropriate section of SpecificationsA 6/A 6M(plates provided from coils)or A 20/A 20M(platesproduced from coils).1.2.2 This specification is not applicable to the steelscovered by Specification A 635/A 635M.1.2.3 The dimensional tolerances of Specification A 635/A 635M are applicable to material produced to this specifica-tion.1.2.4 The material is to be fed directly from coils into ablanking press,drawing or forming operation,tube mill,rollingmill,or sheared or slit into blanks for subsequent drawing orforming.1.2.5 Not all strength levels are available in all thicknesses.The user should consult the producer for appropriate sizelimitations.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text,theSI units are shown in brackets.The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents;therefore,each system mustbe used independently of the other.Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:A 370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel Products2A 607 Specification for Steel,Sheet and Strip,High-Strength,Low-Alloy,Columbium or Vanadium,or Both,Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled2A 635/A635M Specification for Steel,Sheet and Strip,Heavy-Thickness Coils,Carbon,Hot-Rolled2A 751 Test Methods,Practices,and Terminology forChemical Analysis of Steel Products2E 29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with Specifications3G 101 Guide for Estimating the Atmospheric Corrosion onResistance of Low-Alloy Steels43.Ordering Information3.1 Orders for material under this specification shall includethe following information,as required,to describe adequatelythe desired material:3.1.1 ASTM specification number and year of issue,grade,type and class.When a type is not specified,choice of type willbe made by the producer.When a class is not specified,Class1 will be furnished.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A-1 on Steel,Stainless Steel,and Related Alloys and is under the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee A01.19 on Steel Sheet and Strip.Current edition approved March 10 and June 10,1997.Published November1997.Originally published as A 935/A 935M-95.Last previous edition A 935/A 935M-95.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 01.03.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 14.02.4Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 03.02.1Copyright ASTM,100 Barr Harbor Drive,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.NOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or discontinued.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest information.3.1.2 Name of material(high-strength,low-alloy hot-rolledsheet coils or high-strength,low-alloy hot-rolled strip coils).3.1.3 Copper-bearing(if required).3.1.4 ConditionMaterial in accordance with this specifi-cation is furnished in the hot-rolled condition.Pickled(orblast-cleaned)must be specified if required.Material orderedas pickled(or blast-cleaned)will be oiled unless ordered dry.3.1.5 Type of edge must be specified for hot-rolled sheet
