Designation:A659/A659M12Standard Specification forCommercial Steel(CS),Sheet and Strip,Carbon(0.16Maximum to 0.25 Maximum Percent),Hot-Rolled1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A659/A659M;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 Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers hot-rolled carbon steel(CS)sheet and strip,in coils and cut lengths,in which the maximumof the specified carbon range is over 0.15 and not over 0.25%and the maximum of the specified manganese range is not over0.90%.This material is ordered to chemical composition.1.2 This specification is not applicable to the steels coveredby Specification A635/A635M.1.3 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:2A568/A568M Specification for Steel,Sheet,Carbon,Struc-tural,and High-Strength,Low-Alloy,Hot-Rolled andCold-Rolled,General Requirements forA635/A635M Specification for Steel,Sheet and Strip,Heavy-Thickness Coils,Hot-Rolled,Alloy,Carbon,Struc-tural,High-Strength Low-Alloy,and High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved Formability,General RequirementsforA749/A749M Specification for Steel,Strip,Carbon andHigh-Strength,Low-Alloy,Hot-Rolled,General Require-ments forE527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys in theUnified Numbering System(UNS)2.2 Society of Automotive Engineers Standard:3J 1086 Numbering Metals and Alloys3.Ordering Information3.1 It is the purchasers responsibility to specify in thepurchase order all ordering information necessary to purchasethe needed material.Examples of such information include butare not limited to the following:3.1.1 ASTM specification number and year of issue,3.1.2 Name of material(hot-rolled commercial steel(CS)sheet,or hot-rolled commercial steel(CS)strip),3.1.3 Grade designation or chemical composition,or both,3.1.4 Copper-bearing steel(if required),3.1.5 Condition(as-rolled,pickled,or blast cleaned)(see4.1),3.1.5.1 Material to this specification is furnished in thehot-rolled condition.Pickled(or blast cleaned)must be speci-fied if required,3.1.6 Oiling(see 7.2),3.1.7 Edges(see 7.1),3.1.8 Dimensions(thickness,width,and whether cut lengthsor coils),NOTE1Not all producers are capable of meeting all of the limitationsof the thickness tolerance tables in Specification A568/A568M.Thepurchaser should contact the producer regarding possible limitations priorto placing an order.3.1.9 Coil size(must include inside diameter,outside diam-eter,and maximum mass),3.1.10 Quantity,3.1.11 Application(show part identification and descrip-tion),3.1.12 Cast or heat analysis report(request,if required),3.1.13 Special requirements(if required).3.1.13.1 When the purchaser requires thickness tolerancesfor 3/8 in.10 mm minimum edge distance(see Supplemen-tary Requirement in Specification A568/A568M),this require-ment shall be specified in the purchase order or contract.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.19 on Steel Sheet and Strip.Current edition approved May 1,2012.Published May 2012.Originallyapproved in 1972.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as A659/A659M 10.DOI:10.1520/A0659_A0659M-12.2For 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.3Available from Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE),400 CommonwealthDr.,Warrendale,PA 15096-0001,http:/www.sae.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1Copyright by ASTM Intl(all rights reserved);NOTE2A typical ordering description is as follows:“ASTM A659-XX or A659M-XX,Hot-Rolled Commercial Steel(CS)Sheet,Grade 1017,Pickled and Oiled,Cut Edge,0.075 by 36 in.or 1.85by 900 mm,by coil,ID 24 in.,OD 48 in.,max weight 11 250 lb max orID 600 mm,OD 1200 mm,max,weight 7500 kg,max,100 000 lb or 45000 kg for Part No.6509,Shelf Leg,Cast or heat analysis reportrequired.”4.Materials and Manufacture4.1 ConditionUnless otherwise specified,the material isfurnished in the as-rolled condition(not annealed or pickled).5.Chemical Composition5.1 The Cast or Heat Analysis of the steel shall conform tothe chemical requirements shown in Table
