A
When copper is specified, the copper limit is a minimum requirement. When copper steel is not specified, the copper limit is a maximum requirement.
B
Columbium (Cb) and niobium (Nb) are considered interchangeable names for Element 41 in the periodic table and both names are acceptable for use.
C
Titanium is permitted for SS designations, at the producer’s option, to the lesser of 3.4N + 1.5S or 0.025 %.
D
There is no specified limit, but the analysis shall be reported.
E
HSLAS and HSLAS-F steels contain the strengthening elements columbium (niobium), vanadium, titanium, and molybdenum added singly or in combination. The
minimum requirements only apply to the microalloy elements selected for strengthening of the steel.
F
The purchaser has the option of restricting the nitrogen content. It should be noted that, depending on the microalloying scheme (for example, use of vanadium) of the
producer, nitrogen may be a deliberate addition. Consideration should be made for the use of nitrogen binding elements (for example, vanadium, titanium).
G
For carbon levels less than or equal to 0.02 % vanadium, columbium, or titanium, or a combination thereof, are permitted to be used as stabilizing elements at the
producer’s option. In such cases, the applicable limit for vanadium and columbium shall be 0.10 % max., and the limit for titanium shall be 0.15 % max.

TABLE X1.1 Suggested Minimum Inside Radius for Cold Bending
NOTE 1—(t) Equals a radius equivalent to the steel thickness.
NOTE 2—The suggested radius should be used as a minimum for 90°
bends in actual shop practice
NOTE 3—Material which does not perform satisfactorily, when fabri-
cated in accordance with the requirements, may be subject to rejection
pending negotiation with the steel supplier.
