Codes: +AT solution annealed, +A soft annealed, +PE peeled, +C cold drawn, +LC skin passed. Diameter ranges are over the first figure up to and including the second. No reduction of area is specified for +AT+C. For non-circular sections the properties are agreed between manufacturer and purchaser. Printed as shown: at 2 to 5 mm the +AT+C+AT+LC value (630 MPa) is below the +AT+C+AT value (700 MPa), unlike the other grades.
