ASTM A659 Standard Specification for Commercial Steel (CS), Sheet and Strip, Carbon (0.16Maximum to 0.25 Maximum Percent), Hot-Rolled

ASTM A659 is for hot-rolled carbon steel sheets and strips fitted out in coil or cut-length forms with a determined carbon content of 0.15 to 0.25 % and a maximum Mn content of 0.90 %. These dynamic features indicate whether the material is suitable for use in pressure vessel applications. ASTM A659 ensures the reliability and presentation of the final products, which also gives builders essential necessities. It safeguards constancy and excellence in the manufacture of carbon steel sheets envisioned for the building of pressure containers.

    Introduction to ASTM A659

    Hot-rolled carbon steel sheets and strips are one of the most vibrant materials exploited in numerous areas. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM A659 tests for our clients. This specification applies to goods with a maximum Mn content of 0.90 % and a chemical composition within the defined range of 0.15 to 0.25 %. Critically, these necessities are essential to discovering whether the material is appropriate for pressure container applications, where physical integrity is of the utmost importance.

    ASTM A659 Test Method

    Strip cuttingThe specimen is welded to bring it into the form of cut strips
    OilingWhile hot-rolled pickled (or blast-cleaned) material is typically given oiled, hot-rolled, non-pickled material is typically furnished, not oiled. It is possible to specify that pickled (or blast-cleaned) material should be furnished, not oiled, and that non-pickled material should be furnished oiled as necessary. 

    ASTM A659 Test Specimens

    Specimen DetailThe material is used in its rolled state and is not annealed or pickled unless otherwise noted.
    Specimen SizeA report with the notation “<0.02 %” may be issued if the concentration of copper, nickel, chromium, or molybdenum is less than 0.02 percent. The analysis may be reported as “<0.008%” if the amount of vanadium or columbium is less than 0.008%.

    ASTM A659 Test Result

    ASTM A659 outlines the specifications for commercial steel (CS) sheets and strips. It focuses on hot-rolled types that have a carbon content between 0.16 and 0.25 percent. This specification guarantees uniformity, excellence, and compatibility for a range of industrial applications by offering comprehensive guidance for manufacturing procedures and material properties.
