The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International has published the Standard Specification for Drawing Steel, Tin-Plate Base, for Remelting and Rolling, designated as ASTM A650/A650M-18(2024). This standard specifies requirements for base quality tin-free steel sheet intended to be remelted and rolled into drawing qualities. It covers the chemical composition, mechanical properties, surface finish, and dimensional tolerances of the material.
The document provides detailed guidelines on the manufacturing process, testing methods, and inspection procedures necessary to ensure compliance with industry standards for tin-free steel sheets suitable for various applications such as food cans, aerosol containers, and other packaging products. This standard is essential for manufacturers who require a high level of quality control in their production processes.
ASTM A650/A650M-18(2024) offers specific details on the permissible variations in steel composition, such as carbon content, manganese levels, and phosphorus limits. It also outlines acceptable ranges for mechanical properties like tensile strength, yield point elongation, and hardness tests.
