1.1 ,This specification covers cold-rolled, high-carbon strip in coils or cut lengths. Strip is classified as product that is 0.3000 in. [7.6 mm] or less in thickness and over 1/2 ,to 2315/16 ,in. [12.5 to 600 ,mm] in width, inclusive. Strip tolerance products may be available in widths wider than 2315/16 ,in. (600 ,mm) by agreement between purchaser and supplier, however, such products are technically classified as cold-rolled sheet. The maximum of the specified carbon range is over 0.25 to 1.35 ,%, inclusive. It is furnished in the following types as specified:
1.1.1 ,Soft spheroidized annealed high-carbon steel is intended for applications requiring maximum cold forming. It is normally produced to give the lowest maximum Rockwell hardness for each grade.
