Longitudinal tensile properties from the sample blank; for 80 to 250 mm bars elongation may be 2 percent (absolute) and reduction of area 5 percent (absolute) lower. Yield may be replaced by Rp0.2 where there is no distinct yield.
Permissible adjustment: +/-30 deg C normalizing, +/-20 deg C quenching, +/-50 deg C tempering; hold at least 30 min (1 h for 600 deg C tempering); quench in oil for 75, 80 and 85 steels, otherwise water.
