This specification covers an aircraft-quality, low-alloy steel in the form of mechanical tubing. This product has been used typically for parts, 0.75 inch (19.0 mm) and under in section thickness at time of heat treatment, requiring a through-hardening steel capable of developing hardness as high as 40 HRC when properly hardened and tempered, but usage is not limited to such applications.
