This specification covers four grades of carbon steel plates of structural quality for general application, with melt processing, chemical composition, and mechanical properties controlled in accordance with ASTM A283/A283M-24.
1. Scope
This specification covers four grades of carbon steel plates of structural quality for general application. Steel samples shall be melt processed by either open-hearth, basic-oxygen, or electric furnace.
Heat and product analysis shall be performed wherein steel materials shall conform to required chemical compositions of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, and copper. Steel specimens shall also undergo tensile tests and shall conform to required values of tensile strength, yield point, and elongation.
2. Key Requirements at a Glance
The requirements of ASTM A283/A283M-24 fall into three groups: permitted melt processing practices, controlled chemical composition elements, and mandatory tensile test properties. They are summarized below.
(一)Melt Processing
Steel samples shall be melt processed by one of the following furnace practices:
No. | Permitted Melt Process |
1 | Open-hearth furnace |
2 | Basic-oxygen furnace |
3 | Electric furnace |
(二)Chemical Composition
Heat and product analysis shall be performed, and the steel materials shall conform to the required chemical compositions of the following elements:
Element | Symbol |
Carbon | C |
Manganese | Mn |
Phosphorus | P |
Sulfur | S |
Silicon | Si |
Copper | Cu |
Each element shall conform to the limits specified in ASTM A283/A283M-24 for the ordered grade.
(三)Tensile Test Requirements
Steel specimens shall undergo tensile tests and shall conform to the required values of the following mechanical properties:
No. | Required Property |
1 | Tensile strength |
2 | Yield point |
3 | Elongation |
