G10380

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 G10380 and SAE 1038 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.
