- Footnote a of Table 7/Table 8 refers to Figure 1; The scatter bands for +H and +HH shall be maintained separately; lower limits shall not be interchanged.
- Applicable only to conditions where the corresponding +H or +HH hardenability symbols are actually used for ordering; Specific delivery condition and dimension range shall still be confirmed according to the order and Table 1 of the standard.
- When ordering based on core hardness requirements per 7.1.3, the end-quench data in Table 7/Table 8 are for reference only and cannot serve as an acceptance guarantee for the same order item.
- HRC is the hardness at the specified distance of the end-quench test specimen, not the overall hardness of the finished product, nor does it prove cold-heading suitability or part performance.
- A horizontal line in the original table indicates that the lower limit for that distance is not specified and shall remain blank; Shall not be treated as 0; no interpolation, extrapolation, or conformity determination shall be performed for distances not listed.
- The shown quenching temperature is the standard end-quench test condition and cannot be used as a production heat treatment process parameter or recommendation.
- Testing shall be according to EN ISO642 as cited in Table 10 (source standard specifies ISO642:1999); Test units shall be divided by heat, with 1 sample per unit and 1 test per sample; sampling for disputes shall otherwise follow Table 10.
