Mechanical Properties
|
N/A
The following values are typical for 1" thickness and may be considered as representative in the as-rolled condition:
|
Machinability
|
N/A This material is generally machined in the as-rolled condition without difficulty. Average cutting speed is 85 surface feet per minute. |
Weldability
|
N/A May be welded with proper precautions. With thin sections and a flexible design, gas or arc welding may be used without preheating; but in joints over 1/2" to 3/4" thick preheating is necessary. To develop equivalent strength in a weld, a low-alloy filler is recommended. Stress relieving is also recommended. The grade of welding rod to be used depends on thickness of section, design, service requirements, etc. |
