ASTM A794
Full Name
ASTM A794 – Standard Specification for Commercial Steel (CS), Sheet, Carbon (0.16% Maximum to 0.25% Maximum), Cold-Rolled
Scope
ASTM A794 is a standard specification for commercial steel (CS) sheet, specifically for carbon steel with a carbon content ranging from 0.16% to 0.25%. These materials are cold-rolled, which means they are formed at room temperature.
Key requirements:
- Chemical composition: specifies maximum and minimum allowable limits for elements such as carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, copper, and other alloying elements.
- Tensile properties: defines minimum requirements for tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.
- Hardness: sets maximum limits for hardness to ensure adequate toughness.
- Surface finish: specifies the allowable surface imperfections.
- Formability: specifies the ability of the steel to be formed without cracking or splitting.
Applications – ASTM A794 steel sheet is used in a wide variety of construction and industrial applications, including:
- Automotive components
- Appliances
- Building materials
- Sheet metal fabrication
