NOTES:
A
For each reduction of 0.01 percentage point below the specified maximum for carbon, an increase of 0.06 percentage points above the specified
maximum for manganese is permitted, up to a maximum of 1.85%.
B
Manganese may exceed 1.35% on heat analysis, up to a maximum of 1.60%, provided that the carbon equivalent on heat analysis does not
exceed 0.47%, or the value specified in Supplementary Requirement S77 when that requirement is invoked, when based on the following
formula.
When this option is exercised, the manganese content on product analysis shall not exceed the heat analysis content by more than 0.12 per-
centage points.
C
Not applicable.
D
By agreement the steel may be produced with titanium, in which case the minimum aluminum content shall not apply. When this option is
exercised, the titanium content, by heat analysis shall be 0.006% to 0.02%, and the actual titanium content shall be reported on the test report.
E
By agreement, the steel may be produced with titanium, in which case the minimum aluminum content shall not apply. When this option is
exercised, the titanium content, by heat analysis, shall be 0.006% to 0.03%, and the actual titanium content shall be reported on the test report.
