ASTM A242 - Standard Specification
for High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel
| | Purpose: |
This specification covers high-strength low-alloy structural
steel shapes, plates, and bars for welded, riveted, or bolted
construction intended primarily for use as structural members
where savings in weight or added durability are important.
The atmospheric corrosion resistance of the steel in most
environments is substantially better than that of carbon structural
steels with or without copper addition. This specification
is limited to material up to 4 in., Inclusive, in thickness.
|
|---|
| Criteria: |
ASTM A242 is a specification with minimum requirements
listed to meet this standard.

ASTM A588 - Standard Specification
for High-Strength Low-Alloy Structural Steel with 50 ksi Minimum
Yield Point to 4-in. Thick
| | Purpose: |
This specification covers high-strength low-alloy
structural steel shapes, plates, and bars for welded, riveted,
or bolted construction but intended primarily for use in welded
bridges and buildings where savings in weight or added durability
are important. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of this
steel in most environments is substantially better than that
of carbon structural steels with or without copper addition.
This specification is limited to material up to 8 in. Inclusive
in thickness.
|

| Criteria: |
ASTM A588 is a specification with minimum requirements
listed to meet this standard. Several composition "Grades"
are available if detailed specification is required (A, B,
C, K)

ASTM A262 - Standard
Practices for Detecting Susceptibility to Intergranular Attack
in Austenitic Stainless Steels
| | Purpose: |
ASTM A262 is used to detect susceptibility to intergranular
corrosion in stainless steel. This test procedure covers five
tests; Practice A, B, C, E, and F.
|
|---|
| Criteria: |
ASTM A262 Practice A is used as a pre-screening test for
acceptance testing of austenitic stainless steel, with other
Practices used when Practice A fails. For rail applications,
Practice E covers most of the alloys used. Typically used
for structural stainless steel applications.

| Usage: |
... shall be tested for susceptibility to intergranular
corrosion according to the requirements of ASTM A262, Practice
X

ASTM A514 - Standard
Specification for High-Yield-Strength, Quenched and Tempered
Alloy Steel Plate, Suitable for Welding
| | Purpose: |
This specification covers quenched and tempered alloy
steel plates of structural quality in thickness' of 6 in.
[150 mm] and under intended primarily for use in welded bridges
and other structures.
|
|---|
| Criteria: |
ASTM A514 is a specification with minimum requirements
listed to meet this standard. Several composition "Grades"
are listed with detailed specifications for each (A, B, C,
D,...). Common usage is for Grade F.

| Standard: |
ASTM A27 - Steel Castings,
Carbon, for General Application
| | Purpose: |
This specification covers carbon steel castings for general
applications that require up to 70 ksi [485 MPa] minimum
tensile strength. The grades covered by this specification
represent materials that are suitable for assembly with
other steel castings or wrought steel parts by fusion welding.
Weldability, suitable welding technique and application
is the responsibility of the user. |
|---|
| Criteria: |
Several grades are given with criteria for including Class
of treatment. The standard should be reviewed and criteria
selected along with the design criteria. |
