4.1.11.1 HSLAS-F steel has improved formability when
compared to HSLAS. The steel is fully deoxidized, made to
fine grain practice and includes microalloying elements such as
columbium, vanadium, zirconium, and so forth. The steel shall
be treated to achieve inclusion control.

tations on the use of one or more of the microalloy elements
shall be specified on the order.
4.3 Cold-rolled steel sheet is supplied for either exposed or
unexposed applications. Within the latter category, cold-rolled
sheet is specified either “temper rolled” or “annealed last” or
“full hard.” For details on processing, attributes and
limitations, and inspection standards, refer to Specification
A568/A568M.
5. Ordering Information
5.1 It is the purchaser’s responsibility to specify in the
purchase order all ordering information necessary to describe
the required material. Examples of such information include,
but are not limited to, the following:
5.1.1 ASTM specification number and year of issue.
5.1.2 Name of material and designation (cold-rolled steel
sheet) (include grade, type, and class, as appropriate, for CS,
DS, DDS, EDDS, SFS, SS, HSLAS, HSLAS-F, RHS, FHS,
SHS, or BHS) (see 4.1).
5.1.2.1 When a Chemistry grade is specified in accordance
with Specification A568/A568M Table X2.3, the grade shall be
furnished as CS Type B – 1008, DS Type A – 1005, and so
forth.
5.1.2.2 When a Chemistry grade is specified in accordance
with Specification A568/A568M Table X2.1, with no reference
to CS Type A, CS Type B, DS Type A, DS Type B, or SFS, the
grade shall be furnished as CS – 1005, CS – 1008, CS – 1020,
and so forth, and meet chemistry specified in accordance with
Specification A568/A568M Table X2.1.
5.1.2.3 When a type is not specified for CS or DS and there
is no reference to a chemistry grade such as 1005, 1006, and so
forth, Type B will be furnished (see 4.1).
5.1.2.4 When SFS is specified, a chemistry grade designa-
tion shall also be specified in accordance with Specification
A568/A568M Table X2.1 (that is, 1010, 1020, and so forth), or
carbon and manganese in accordance with Specification A568/
A568M Table X2.2 (that is, C 0.12 % to 0.18 %, Mn 0.50 % to
0.80 %, and so forth). The characteristics identifying the
enhanced formability or mechanical properties shall be speci-
fied by the user or purchaser, on the purchase order. If
requested, the producer or seller shall provide verification of
special practices or mechanical properties supporting enhanced
formability.
5.1.2.5 When a class is not specified for HSLAS, Class 1
will be furnished (see 4.1).
5.1.2.6 When a type is not specified for SS 33 [230] and SS
40 [275], Type 1 will be furnished (see 4.1).
5.1.3 Classification (either exposed, unexposed, temper
rolled, or annealed last) (see 4.3).
5.1.4 Finish (see 9.1).
5.1.5 Oiled or not oiled, as required (see 9.2).
5.1.6 Dimensions (thickness, width, and whether cut lengths
or coils).
NOTE 1—Not all producers are capable of meeting all the limitations of
the thickness tolerance tables in Specification A568/A568M. The pur-
chaser should contact the producer regarding possible limitations prior to
placing an order.
5.1.7 Coil size (must include inside diameter, outside
diameter, and maximum weight).
5.1.8 Copper bearing steel (if required).
5.1.9 Quantity.
5.1.10 Application (part identification and description).
5.1.11 A report of heat analysis will be supplied, if
requested, for CS, DS, DDS, EDDS, SFS, RHS, and FHS. For
materials with required mechanical properties, SS, HSLAS,
HSLAS-F, SHS, and BHS, a report is required of heat analysis
and mechanical properties as determined by the tension test.
5.1.12 Special requirements (if any).
5.1.12.1 When the purchaser requires thickness tolerances
for
3
⁄
8
in. [10 mm] minimum edge distance (see Supplementary
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.
NOTE 2—A typical ordering description is as follows:
ASTM A1008-XX, cold rolled steel sheet, CS Type A, exposed, matte
finish, oiled, 0.035 in. by 30 in. by coil, ID 24 in., OD 48 in., max weight
15 000 lbs, 100 000 lb, for part No. 4560, Door Panel; or
ASTM A 1008M-XX, cold-rolled steel sheet, SS Grade 275,
unexposed, matte finish, oiled, 0.88 mm by 760 mm by 2440 mm,

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 unless otherwise provided 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, DDS, EDDS, and SFS,
and in Table 2 for SS, HSLAS, HSLAS-F, SHS, and BHS.
7.2 Each of the elements listed in Tables 1 and 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
