AMENDMENT III - The purpose of this amendment is to:
1. Provide responses to questions posed by industry
- Question I: Does the heat treatment process require Annealing, Quenching, Tempering, or Normalizing?
- Response: There are no requirements concerning this. The heat treatment is chosen by the steel provider.
- Question II: What is the hardness requirement after heat treatment?
- Response: The bar hardness shall not exceed HRB = 100, HV = 252, HRC = 24, or HB = 245 (depending on the hardness scale used).
- Question III: Cold Finished or hot rolled?
- Response: The ingots shall be either hot-rolled to bar, or (preferably) annealed and cold-drawn/cold-finished.
2. Attach a Material Reference Sheet for 4340 Steel.
All other terms and conditions remain unchanged, as a result of this amendment.
