Standard Specification for

Steel, Sheet and Strip, Hot-Rolled, Carbon, Structural, High-
Strength Low-Alloy, High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved
Formability, and Ultra-High Strength1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A1011/A1011M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the
year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last
reapproval. A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.

1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers hot-rolled, carbon, structural, high-strength low-alloy, high-strength low-alloy with improved
formability, and ultra-high strength steel sheet and strip, in coils and cut lengths.
1.2 Hot rolled steel sheet and strip is available in the designations as listed in 4.1.
1.3 This specification is not applicable to the steel covered by Specification A635/A635M.
1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

Aging also increases the tendency toward stretcher strains and fluting.
3.2.2 inclusion control, n—the process of reducing the volume fraction of inclusions or modifying the shape of inclusions to
improve formability, weldability, and machinability.

3.2.2.1 Discussion—

Inclusions, especially those elongated during the rolling process, create the conditions for initiating or propagating cracks when
the material is stretched or bent during the manufacture of a part (or both). The adverse effects of inclusions are minimized by
reducing the content of inclusions in the steel or by altering the shape of inclusions through the use of additions during the
steelmaking process that change the elongated shape of the inclusions to less harmful small, well dispersed globular inclusions (or
both).
3.2.3 stabilization, n—addition of one or more nitride or carbide forming elements, or both, such as titanium and columbium,
to control the level of the interstitial elements carbon and nitrogen in the steel.

3.2.3.1 Discussion—

Stabilization improves formability and increases resistance to aging.

3.2.4 vacuum degassing, n—process of refining liquid steel in which the liquid is exposed to a vacuum as part of a special
technique for removing impurities or for decarburizing the steel.
3.2.5 Special Forming Steel (SFS), n—Steel ordered to 1010 chemistry or greater levels of carbon, manganese or both, which
exhibits enhanced formability or mechanical properties.

3.2.5.1 Discussion—
iTeh Standards
Steel grades such as CS – 1010 or CS – 1020 for example, adheres to chemistry requirements only, whereas SFS – 1010 or SFS
(https://standards.iteh.ai)
– 1020, also provide enhanced formability. Due to greater carbon content, SFS – 1020 is not as formable as SFS – 1010.

A
There is no specified limit, but the analysis shall be reported.
B
When copper is specified, a minimum of 0.20 % is required. When copper steel is not specified, the copper limit is a maximum requirement.
C
Titanium is permitted for SS designations, at the producer’s option, to the lesser of 3.4N + 1.5S or 0.025 %. This does not apply to Grade 45 [310] Type 2.
D
For each reduction of 0.01 % below the specified carbon maximum, an increase of 0.06 % manganese above the specified maximum will be permitted up to a maximum
of 1.50 % .for SS Grades 36 Type 2, 45 Type 1, 50 and 55, as well as for HSLAS Grades 45 Class 1, 50 Class 1, and 55 Type 1, and to a maximum of 1.90% for HSLAS-F
Grade 80.
E
HSLAS, HSLAS-F, and UHSS steels contain the strengthening elements columbium (niobium), vanadium, and titanium added singly or in combination. The minimum
requirements only apply to the microalloy elements selected for strengthening of the steel.

 A1011/A1011M − 18
F
The purchaser has the option of restricting the nitrogen content. It should be noted that, depending on the microalloying scheme (for example, use of vanadium) of the
producer, nitrogen may be a deliberate addition. Consideration should be made for the use of nitrogen binding elements (for example, vanadium, titanium).
G
Columbium (Cb) and niobium (Nb) are considered interchangeable names for element 41 in the periodic table and both names are acceptable for use.

A
The yield strength tends to increase and the elongation tends to decrease as the
sheet thickness decreases. These properties represent those typical of material in
the thickness range of 0.100 to 0.150 in. [2.5 to 3.5 mm] for CS Types A, B, and
DS Types A and B and in the thickness ranges of 0.060 to 0.075 in. [1.5 to 1.9 mm]
for CS Type D.
B
The typical mechanical property values presented here are nonmandatory. They
are provided to assist the purchaser in specifying a suitable steel for a given
application. Values outside these ranges are to be expected.
C
Yield strength and elongation are measured in the longitudinal direction in
accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370.

10. Retests and Disposition of Non-Conforming Material

10.1 Retests, conducted in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.1 of Specification A568/A568M, are permitted when
an unsatisfactorily test result is suspected to be the consequence of the test method procedure.
10.2 Disposition of non-conforming material shall be subject to the requirements of Section 11.2 of Specification A568/A568M.

11. Certification
11.1 The manufacturer or processor shall issue a test report or optional certificate of compliance, or both, when required by the
purchase order or the specification.
11.2 The test report shall show the heat analysis and the results of all tests required by the purchase order and seller and by the
specification.
11.3 The certificate of compliance shall include a statement that the product was manufactured and tested in accordance with
the requirements of the specification and that the test results conform to the requirements of that specification.
NOTE 3—The heat analysis, results of all tests, and the certificate of compliance may be reported separately or in a combined report.
11.4 Steel processors shall pass transfer data supplied by the steel manufacturer provided the processing has not altered the
attributes represented. In cases where the steel is retested the processor is responsible for the accuracy of the data and shall maintain
traceability back to its source. Retesting for heat analysis shall be done in accordance with specification Test Methods A751. The
report shall clearly identify the physical product it represents.
