Applicability and limitations

Table 1: UNS G10170 corresponds to SAE 1017; heat analysis, wt%. Si is not a universally mandatory constituent. When specified, common limits for bars/semi-finished products are ≤.10, .10–.20, .15–.35, .20–.40 and .30–.60%; wire rod also has the .07–.15% option. This record does not select a range without agreement. When Cu is required, ≥.20% is generally specified; this is neither a universal upper limit for Cu nor a default requirement. Addition of Pb at .15–.35% requires the L designation and a change to UNS; addition of B at .0005–.003% requires the B designation. These treatments are not included in ordinary grades. Lower P/S limits for certain qualities/products require separate verification against J411; agreement values from later editions are not imported. A requirement to report additional elements does not establish universal limits in this table. Unspecified Si/Cr/Ni/Mo and other elements are not assigned zero. Product-analysis deviations under J409 require separate verification.

Applicability and limitations

Original 2012 Table 1: ladle composition, mass fraction (wt%); applicability and deviations for product analysis must be checked separately under 4.3 and Table 5. Grade designations and product forms are retained as listed in the standard; cold-heading suitability is not implied. Note B: Si is an order-specific option; if not specified, it is unknown, not zero. Note C: Cu ≥0.20% applies only when ordered; no upper limit is invented, and ordinary orders do not automatically include Cu. Note D: Pb 0.15–0.35% applies only to an expressly designated leaded L grade; Pb is not added automatically to grades without L. Note F: additions of Bi/Ca/Se/Te are determined by agreement between purchaser and supplier; absent a specified value, they are not zero. Note E: boron treatment gives an expected content under specified conditions and is not a uniform B limit for all ordinary grades.

printed p. 10, SAE J403 NOV.2001. The source table does not specify the analysis type. Manufacturer-range data, not a standard-guaranteed value or heat-lot test, and not a representation of our supply. Condition: Si is an optional value subject to agreement as stated in the source; do not select by default or merge into one broad range. Until selected, do not use it in a complete calculation or assessment. Pb 0.15–0.35 and B 0.0005–0.0030 are optional additions with L/B designation; do not add them automatically to ordinary grades. Special low-P/S quality requires separate agreement verification.

Applicability and limitations

China Steel bar and wire rod catalogue CAT.NO.3-BD-01-2014-C1, PDF p. 22

printed p. 20, §7.1.15 SAE carbon steels (edition not marked). The source table does not specify the analysis type. Historical manufacturer range data, not a standard-guaranteed value or heat-lot test, and not a representation of our supply. Conditions: Si is an agreement-based option, with separate options for bar and wire rod; B is not automatically added to the ordinary grades in the source table. Where Cu is specified, it is generally ≥0.20%; this is not a default Cu minimum for all steels.

Applicability and limitations

ASTM A29/A29M-2023 original Table 1: base entries are ladle-analysis mass fraction wt%; product-analysis tolerances are checked separately under 4.3 and Table 5, not added to ladle limits. Orders by Table 1 grade must meet its ladle limits under 4.1.1; other ordered chemistries are separately agreed under 4.1.2 and Tables 3/4 and must not be mixed into this table. General hot-wrought bar requirements do not, by chemistry alone, establish cold-heading suitability, supply or mechanical properties. Note B: the Si range is a common option only when required by the order; Si is unspecified by default, not a universal range or zero. Note C: Cu≥0.20% applies only when expressly required by the order and has no added upper limit. Note D: leaded steel Pb is 0.15–0.35%; retain L as part of the grade identity, not ordinary grades. If lead is added to the ladle stream, its cast or ladle-analysis value cannot be determined. Note F: Bi/Ca/Se/Te are specified by buyer-supplier agreement; do not enter zero when no value is given. Note E: only for expressly specified boron treatment of killed steel, expected B is 0.0005–0.003%; where usual Ti addition is not permitted, up to 0.005% may be expected. These are not mandatory B limits for all ordinary grades.

Applicability and limitations

SAE J403 Revised JUN2014 Table 1: original cast or heat analysis, mass fraction wt%. Product-analysis deviations are addressed separately under SAE J409; J409 is not used to widen this table's limits. UNS G10170 and SAE 1017 are names directly listed in the same row of this table; other standards or editions are not treated as this edition. Unless residual elements are otherwise specified, the default is B. A/B/C is selected for the applicable product form/agreement. No limit is listed for D, but the amount of Cu/Ni/Cr/Mo must still be reported; it is not treated as zero. To demonstrate table compliance, Cu/Cr/Ni/Mo/Si must be reported in addition to C/Mn/P/S. A value below 0.02% may be reported as <0.02% as specified in the source; this is neither a universal upper limit nor zero. Select P/S separately for flat and long products; do not combine them using the wider upper limit. Select 1006/1008 Mn by product form under note 6/7 to Table 1. Si is specified only by order agreement. Common wire-rod options are ≤0.10, 0.07–0.15, 0.10–0.20, 0.15–0.35, 0.20–0.40 and 0.30–0.60%; the common option 0.07–0.15 is not listed for other products. Verify the contractual value against product form; no fixed Si is assigned without agreement. Ordinary grades in this table do not automatically include Pb or B. Separately lead- or boron-treated grades require the L/B designation and the corresponding UNS. The source values Pb0.15–0.35% and B0.0005–0.003% apply to those treatments and are not included in ordinary steels. Note 3 to Table 1: when Cu is specifically required, Cu≥0.20% is normally specified. Residual options in this batch serve residual control only; the deliberate-addition condition for Cu is not unconditionally combined with residual maxima. The order range requires separate agreement, and this specific Cu condition is not evaluated automatically. 3.1 and Table 6 require reporting C/Mn/P/S/Si/Al/Cu/Ni/Cr/Mo/Nb(Cb)/Ti/V/B/N; As/Sb is also reported when requested by the purchaser. Si/Cu/Ni/Cr/Mo below 0.02% may be reported as <0.02%, and Nb/Ti/V below 0.008% as <0.008%. These are reporting thresholds, not universal composition maxima; they do not justify filling in zero or an unspecified limit.
