ASTM A709/A709M 100W Type B Introduce
The ASTM A709/A709M steel standard was first issued in 1965 as A709-65 and has since undergone several revisions. The latest version is the 2020 edition, which replaced the A709-13 specification from 2013. The 2020 edition was released earlier in the year in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, and is designed to help ensure that the quality and safety of construction materials remains high, despite the accelerating shift towards automated production.
Smelting temperature:1771°C - 1141°C

ASTM A709/A709M 100W Type B Material Mechanical Properties
Elasticity is a measure of an object's ability to return to its original shape after being subjected to a load. ASTM A709/A709M 100W Type B steel is highly elastic, with an elastic modulus ranging from 190GPa to 300GPa. This allows the steel to be compressed or twisted without permanently deforming, allowing it to return to its original shape when the load is removed.
The mechanical properties of the ASTM A709/A709M 100W Type B steel are as follows:
| YieldRp0.2 | ≤ 729 (MPa) |
| TeileRm | ≤ 633 (MPa) |
| ImpactKV/Ku | 32(J) |
| ElongationA | 33% |
| Reduction in cross section on fractureZ | 31% |
| As-Heat-Treated Condition | Solution and Aging, Annealing, Ausaging, Q+T,etc |
| Brinell hardness (HBW) | 431 |
