ASTM A1011/A1011M SS Grade 40 Material Mechanical Properties
ASTM A1011/A1011M SS Grade 40 is a hot rolled, affinity-annealed, low carbon steel with a substrate of 2.25-3.0 percent carbon and micro-alloying elements. The alloying elements provide a stronger and more uniform material structure and increased tensile strength. This makes it suitable for applications such as structural beams, agricultural uses, and high pressure applications like pressurized gas lines.
