NOTES 1: The yield strength is the lower yicld stress. If well-dened yielding is not
obvious, the 0.2% proof stress should be determined.
2: Applies to test pieces equal to or greater than 0.6mm in thickness. For
material up to 0.6mm in thickness, the minimum elongation values in the
table are not covered by this standard. 11

material equal to or greater than 1.50mm thick.
4: Applies to recovery annealed ,i.e. not recrystallized after annealing,
material between 1.00mm and 1.50mm thick.
5: Applies to recovery annealed, i.e. not recrystallized after annealing,
material up to and including 1.0 0mm thick; the values of yield
strength,0.2% proof stress and tensile strength are, for practical
purposes, the same.
