1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers hot-finished or cold-finished
bars except bars for reforging (Note 1). It includes rounds,
squares, and hexagons, and hot-rolled or extruded shapes, such
as angles, tees, and channels in the more commonly used types
of stainless steels. The free-machining types (Note 2), for
general corrosion resistance and high-temperature service, are
covered in a separate specification.
3. Ordering Information
3.1 It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify all
requirements that are necessary for material ordered under this
specification. Such requirements may include but are not
limited to the following:
3.1.1 Quantity (weight or number of pieces),
3.1.2 Name of material: stainless steel,
3.1.3 Form (bars, angles, etc.),
3.1.4 Condition (Section 4.1),
3.1.5 Finish (Section 8 of Specification A 484/A 484M),
3.1.6 Surface preparation of shapes (Section 8 of Specification A 484/A 484M),
3.1.7 Applicable dimensions including size, thickness,
width, and length,
3.1.8 Cross section (round, square, etc.),
3.1.9 Type or UNS designation (Table 1),
3.1.10 ASTM designation and date of issue, and
3.1.11 Whether bars are to be rolled as bars or cut from strip
or plate.
3.1.12 Test for magnetic permeability when specified by
customer purchase order when ordering Types 201 and 205.
3.1.13 Special requirements.
4. Manufacture
4.1 Condition:
4.1.1 Bars shall be furnished in one of the following
conditions listed in the Mechanical Requirements table:
4.1.1.1 Condition AAnnealed
4.1.1.2 Condition HHardened and tempered at a relatively low temperature
4.1.1.3 Condition THardened and tempered at a relatively
high temperature
4.1.1.4 Condition S Strain HardenedRelatively light
cold work
4.1.1.5 Condition BRelatively severe cold work

A
Yield strength shall be determined by the 0.2 % offset method in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370. An alternative method of determining yield
strength may be used based on a total extension under load of 0.5 %.
B
For some specific products, it may not be practicable to use a 2-in. or 50-mm gage length. The use of sub-size test specimens, when necessary, is permissible in
accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370.
C
Reduction of area does not apply on flat bars 316 in. (4.76 mm) and under in thickness as this determination is not generally made in this product size.
D
Or equivalent Rockwell hardness.
E
For extruded shapes of all Cr-Ni grades of Condition A, the yield strength shall be 25 ksi (170 MPa) min and tensile strength shall be 70 ksi (480 MPa) min.
F
For shapes having section thickness of 12 in. (12.5 mm) or less, 30% min. elongation is acceptable.
G
Material shall be capable of being heat treated to a maximum Brinell hardness of 250 when oil quenched from 1750F (953C).
