ASTM A276-13 pdf free.Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes.
1.1 Methods and practices relating to chemical analysis required by this specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A751.
2.1 The material shall conform to the mechanical test requirements specified in Table 2.
2.2 The martensitic grades shall be capable of meeting the hardness requirements after heat treating as specified in Table.
2.3 Hardness measurements, when required, shall be made at a location midway between the surface and the center of the cross section.
3.1 When required by the purchase order, the magnetic permeability of Types 201 and 205 in the annealed condition shall not exceed 1.2 as tested by a Severn-type indicator.
4.1 In addition to the requirements of this specification, all requirements of the current edition of Specification A484/A484M shall apply. Failure to comply with the general requirements of Specification A484/A484M constitutes nonconformance to this specification.
5.1 Upon request of the purchaser in the contract or order,the producer’ s certification that the material was manufactured and tested in accordance with this specification, together with a certified report of the test results shall be furnished at the time of the shipment.
6.1 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.
6.1.1For bars for reforging, see Specification A314.
6.2.2For free-machining stainless burs designed especially for optimum machinability, see Specifcation A582/A582M.
6.3.3There are standards covering high nickel, chromium, austenitic corrosion, and heat resisting alloy materials. These standards are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee B02.07 and may be found in Anmual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol. 02.04.
7.1 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.ASTM A276 pdf download.
