requested, for CS, DS and SFS. For materials with required
mechanical properties, SS, HSLAS, HSLAS-F, and UHSS, a
report is required of heat analysis and mechanical properties as
determined by the tension test, and
5.1.12 Special requirements (if any).
5.1.12.1 When the purchaser requires thickness tolerances
for

Requirement in Specification A568/A568M), this requirement
shall be specified in the purchase order or contract.
5.1.12.2 Tighter requirements can be specified based on
agreement between seller and purchaser.

Or, ASTM A1011M-XX, hot rolled steel sheet, CS Type B, pickled and
oiled, cut edge, 3.7 by 117 mm by coil, ID 600 mm, OD 1500 mm, max

6. General Requirements for Delivery
6.1 Material furnished under this specification shall con-
form to the applicable requirements of the current edition of
Specification A568/A568M for sheets and Specification A749/
A749M for strip, unless otherwise provided for herein.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 The heat analysis of the steel shall conform to the
chemical composition requirements of the appropriate desig-
nation shown in Table 1 for CS, DS and SFS, and Table 2 for
SS, HSLAS, HSLAS-F, and UHSS.
7.1.1 A report of heat analysis will be supplied, if requested,
for CS and DS. For materials with required mechanical
properties, SS, HSLAS, HSLAS-F, and UHSS, a report of heat
analysis is required.
7.2 Each of the elements listed in Table 1,Table 2, and
Specification A568/A568M Table X2.3 shall be included in the
report of the heat analysis. When the amount of copper, nickel,
chromium, or molybdenum is less than 0.02 %, report the
analysis as <0.02 % or the actual determined value. When the
amount of vanadium, columbium, or titanium is less than
0.008 %, report the analysis as <0.008 % or the actual deter-
mined value. When the amount of boron is less than 0.0005 %,
report the analysis as <0.0005 % or the actual determined
value.
7.3 Sheet steel grades defined by this specification are
suitable for welding if appropriate welding conditions are
selected. For certain welding processes, if more restrictive
composition limits are desirable, they shall be specified at the
time of inquiry and confirmed at the time of ordering.
8. Mechanical Properties
8.1 CS and DS:
8.1.1 Typical, nonmandatory mechanical properties for CS
and DS for all grades specified in Table 1 and Specification
A568/A568M Table X2.3 are found in Table 3.
8.1.2 The material represented by all grades specified in
Table 1 and Specification A568/A568M Table X2.3 shall be
capable of being bent at room temperature in any direction
through 180° flat on itself without cracking on the outside of
the bent portion (see the section on bend test in Test Methods
and Definitions A370). The bend test is not a requirement of
delivery. However, if testing is performed by the purchaser,
material not conforming to the requirement shall be subject to
rejection.
8.2 SS, HSLAS, HSLAS-F, and UHSS:
8.2.1 The available grades and corresponding mechanical
properties for SS, HSLAS, HSLAS-F, and UHSS are shown in
Table 4.
