1 This International Standard specifies the chemical and mechanical characteristics, methods of manufacture, the acceptance conditions and the marking of structural steel products possessing improved atmospheric corrosion resistance.
This International Standard applies to plates having a thickness of 4 mm and over, hot-rolled on reversing mills, wide flats, bars and hot-rolled sections generally used in the delivery condition and which, as a rule, form part of the bolted, riveted or welded structures in metal constructions and which have improved atmospheric corrosion resistance.
2 This International Standard does not include the following steels, certain of which are covered by other International Standards:
— general purpose structural steels (ISO 630);
— steels for boilers and pressure purposes (ISO 9328-2);
— steels for heat treatment;
— continuously hot-rolled structural steel sheet with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance (ISO 5952);
— steel plates for forming and deep drawing.
note: 1) For precautions to be taken when welding, the guide for the welding and weldability of C-Mn and C-Mn micro-alloy steels, published by Sub-commission IX-G of the International Welding Institute, may be helpful (document IIS/IIW 843-87) see also the notes given in annex A of this International Standard.
