ASTM A 582/A 582M Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Free-Machining Stainless Steel Bars
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Mar 1, 2005
Scope:
(Footnote *)
This specification covers hot-finished or cold-finished bars, except
bars for forging (Note 1),
suitable for machining processes. It includes rounds, squares, and
hexagons in the more commonly
used types of stainless free-machining steels designed especially for
optimum machinability and for
general corrosion and high-temperature service. Stainless steel bars
other than the free-machining
types are covered in a separate specification (Note 2).
This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI
units; however, unless the
purchase order or contract specifies the applicable M specification
designation (SI units), the
inch-pound units shall apply. The values stated in either inch-pound
units or SI (metric) units are
to be regarded separately as standard: within the text and tables, the
SI units are shown in
[brackets]. 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
nonconformance with the specification.
NOTE 1 - For bars for reforging, see Specification A 314.
NOTE 2 - For non-free machining stainless bars, see Specification A
276.
Footnote * - A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
