3 Terms and definitions

The following term and definition applies to this document.

3.1 Martensitic steel

A steel whose microstructure is mainly martensitic and may contain a small amount of ferrite and/or bainite.

Note 1: Martensitic steel has high strength.

Note 2: The structure of hot rolled martensitic steel may be a tempered martensitic structure.

4 Classification and designation representation method

4.1 Classification

4.1.1 According to the surface state, steel sheets and strips are classified into:

a) Hot rolled surface;

b) Hot rolled pickled surface. When the surface state is hot rolled pickled surface, it is represented by the code "P".

4.1.2 According to the surface quality, steel sheets and strips are classified into:

a) Ordinary surface (FA);

b) Relatively-advanced surface (FB).

4.2 Designation representation method

The designation of the steel sheets and strips is composed of three parts: The initials "HR" of the English "Hot Rolled"; the specified minimum yield strength value/the specified minimum tensile strength value; the initials "MS" of the English "Martensitic Steel".

Example: HR900/1180MS HR - The initials of the English "Hot Rolled";

900/1180 - 900 is the specified minimum yield strength value; 1180 is the specified minimum tensile strength value; in megapascals (MPa); MS - The initials of the English "Martensitic Steel".

5 Order content

5.1 Contracts or orders placed according to this document shall include the following:

a) Product name (steel sheet or strip);

b) Number of this document;

c) Designation;

d) Specification and dimension, roughness accuracy;

7.2 Smelting method

The steel used for the steel sheet and strip is smelted in an oxygen converter or an electric arc furnace. Unless otherwise specified, the smelting method is selected by the supplier.

7.3 Delivery state

7.3.1 Steel sheets and strips are delivered in hot rolled state.

7.3.2 When the steel sheet and strip have a hot rolled pickled surface, they are usually supplied oiled. The oil film applied shall be able to be removed with an alkaline aqueous solution. Under the usual package, transportation, handling, and storage conditions, the supplier shall ensure that, within 3 months from the date of completion of manufacture, the surface of steel sheet and strip will not rust. After negotiation between the supplier and the purchaser, and indicated in the contract, the hot rolled pickled surface can also be supplied without oil.

Note: For non-oiled products required by the purchaser, rust may occur. During transportation, handling, storage and use, the surface is prone to slight scratches.

7.4 Mechanical and process properties

The supplier shall guarantee that, within 6 months from the date of completion of manufacture, the mechanical and process properties of the steel sheet and strip shall comply with the provisions of Table 2.

Note: Due to the influence of aging, the mechanical properties of steel sheets and strips will change with the prolongation of storage time; such as the increase of yield strength and tensile strength, the decrease of elongation after fracture, the deterioration of formability, and the appearance of tensile strain marks, etc. It is recommended that users use it as soon as possible.
