GENERAL INFORMATION AND METALLURGICAL ASPECTS X1.{ Mechanical Properties X14 Table X1.1 shows the approximate mechanical properties corresponding (o the five commercial tempers of cold-rolled carbon steel stip. ‘This fable is presented as a ‘matter of goueral information. The limits of tensile strength, lc, are not intended as critetia for acceptance or rejection, uniess specifically agreed to by the manufacturer when accepting the order. The exact processing by diferent ‘manufacturers will naturally vary slighty, so that absolute Identity cannot be expected in their commercial tempers of ccolderolled strip. X12 Hentified Part X12.1 Cold-rolled earbon stoet strip ean be furnished ia the various tempers to rake an identified part provided the fabrication of the part is compatible with the grade and tomper of the steel specified. Proper identification of parts ‘may include visual examination, prins or descriptions, or a Combination of thes It is the general experience that most ‘dentiied parts can be satisfactorily produced from one of the tempers, There are applications or requirements that neces- sitate additional controls or limit the choice of processing ‘methods. For most end part application only one kind of ‘mechanical test requirement is normally employed. This test requiroment is generally the Rockwell hardness test. X1.3 Rockewell Seales and Loads X13 Various scales and loads are employed in Rockwell testing, depending on the hardness and thickness Of the sirip to be tested. IL is common penctice to make the Rockwell hardness test at a point midway between the si edges on a single thickness only. There is some overlapping among the different scales, but the best scale to use in any tiven case isthe one that will give the maximum penetration, without showing undue evidence of impression on the undersurface and without exceeding B10O or its equivalent oon the dial, The use of a lighter load results in a loss of sensitivity, while a heavier load leads to a loss im accuracy. IP the Rockwell ball is flattened by using it om a hard sample, it should be replaced, otherwise the subsequent readings wil be affected, A tolerance for check testing of two Rockwell points ‘on the B scale below the minimum and above the maximum of the range specified is commanly allowed to compensate for normal differences in equipment. I is recommended that hardness numbers be specified to the same scale as that to be vsed during testing, X14 Aging Phenomenon 1.4.1 Although the maximum ductility is obtained steel strip in its dead sof (annealed lst) condition, such strip js unsuited for many forming operations due to its tondeney to stretcher strain or flute, A small amount of cold rolling (kio-rolling) will provent this tendency, but the effet is only temporary due 1o a phenomenon called aging. The phenom- ‘enon of aging is aecompanied by a loss of ductility with an increase in hardness, yield point, and tonsile strength. For those uses in which stretcher straining, luting, or breakage due to aging of the stec is likely to eccur, the steel should be fabricated as promptly as possible after skin-rolling, When the above aging characteristics are undesirable, special killed (gencrally alumisum killed stet is used, ‘TABLE X11 Approximate Machanial Properts for Various Temper of Cold-Rolled Cavben Strip Hore—thoto whos ar tn snot ony end wert nda tere aceparce efeton.
