Designation:A675/A675M14Standard Specification forSteel Bars,Carbon,Hot-Wrought,Special Quality,Mechanical Properties1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A675/A675M;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()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification2covers hot-wrought special qualitycarbon steel bars and bar size shapes produced to mechanicalproperty requirements and intended for general constructionalapplications.1.2 The bars are available in nine strength grades designated45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,and 90 310,345,380,415,450,485,515,550,and 620 corresponding to the minimumultimate tensile strength in ksi MPa.The chemical composi-tion is selected by the manufacturer to develop the requiredmechanical properties.1.3 Hot-wrought special quality carbon steel bars subject tomechanical property requirements are hot wrought in straightlengths only.Sections and sizes available are covered inSpecification A29/A29M.1.4 Some applications may require one or more of theavailable designations shown under Supplementary Require-ments.NOTE1Merchant-quality hot-wrought carbon steel bars subject tomechanical property requirements are covered in Specification A663/A663M.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A29/A29M Specification for General Requirements for SteelBars,Carbon and Alloy,Hot-WroughtA370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA663/A663M Specification for Steel Bars,Carbon,Mer-chant Quality,Mechanical PropertiesE290 Test Methods for Bend Testing of Material for Ductil-ity3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 special qualitySpecial quality bars are used whenend use,method of fabrication,or subsequent processingtreatment requires quality characteristics not available in mer-chant quality.Typical applications involve bending or machin-ing for general constructional uses.Some end uses or fabricat-ing procedures can necessitate one or more requirements whichare described in the Supplementary Requirements.4.Ordering Information4.1 Orders for material under this specification shouldinclude the following information:4.1.1 Quantity(weight or number of pieces),4.1.2 Name of material(hot-wrought special quality bars),4.1.3 Dimensions,including length,4.1.4 Cross section(round,square,hexagon,equal legangle,etc.),4.1.5 Specification designation and date of issue,4.1.6 Grade designation(Table 1),4.1.7 Leaded steel,if required(6.2),4.1.8 Copper bearing steel,if required(6.3),1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.15 on Bars.Current edition approved May 1,2014.Published June 2014.Originallyapproved in 1972.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as A675/A675M 03(2009).DOI:10.1520/A0675_A0675M-14.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related Specifi-cation SA 675 in Section II of that Code.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 4.1.9 Test report,if required(Section 10),4.1.10 Supplementary Requirements or special require-ments if required,and4.1.11 Application and processing.NOTE2A typical ordering description is as follows:10 000 lb,5000kg Hot Wrought Special Quality Carbon Steel Bars,1 in.diameter 10 ft,25m 3m Round,ASTM A675/A675M dated _,Grade 50,345Copper Bearing,Test Report Required,S3 Special Straightness,BoilerSupports.5.Materials and Manufacture5.1 Melting PracticeThe steel shall be made by one ormore of the following primary processes:basic-oxygen orelectric-furnace.The primary melting may incorporate separatedegassing or refining and may be followed by secondarymelting using electroslag remelting or vacuum-arc remelting.Where secondary melting is employed,the heat shall bedefined as all of the ingots remelted from a single primary heat.5.2 Deoxidation:5.2.1 Unless otherwise specified,the steel shall be killed.5.2.2 When required,the purchaser may specify the re-quired deoxidation practice,dependent upon strength gradespecified,purchasers methods of fabrication,and end userequiremen
