(1) These stress values permitted for opén-hearth and electric-furnace steels only. 2) For service temperatures above 850 F it is recommended that killed steels containing not less then 0.10% residual silicon be used. Killed steels which have been deoxidized with large amounts of aluminum and rimmed steels may have creep and stress-ropiure properties in the temperature range above 850 F, which are somewhat less than those on which the values in the above table are based. (8) Only (silicon) killed steel shall be used above 900 F. ms336 Allowable Stresses ltem 2.
