ASTM A830 Steel Grades

General Product Description


The ASTM A830 specification is the Standard Specification for Plates, Carbon Steel, Structural Quality, Furnished to Chemical Composition
Requirements and supplied in the as-rolled (green) condition. Typically, the as-rolled plates undergo subsequent processing to produce the
desired material properties. Low carbon grades (e.g. 1008) are used in applications where formability is important. Medium carbon grades (e.g.
1020) are used in applications where a combination of machinability and formability are needed. High carbon grades (e.g. 1030 & 1045) are
used when hardenability is important for subsequent heat treating.

Mechanical Properties


A830 grades are not routinely tested for mechanical properties. Please inquire if specific mechanical properties in the as-rolled (green) plate are
required.

Inquire for other grades in A830 not described in this document.
 
Tolerances
Thickness, width, flatness and length tolerances are in accordance to ASTM A6. Procedures and tolerances for all other testing shall be in accor-
dance with ASTM A6 (and associated ASTM testing standards where applicable), including testing not otherwise described in this document.

Delivery Conditions
A830 steel plates/coils produced at SSAB is delivered in the as-rolled (green) condition.

Fabrication and Other Recommendations


Inquire if there are special formability requirements for an application.

Thermal Cutting
A830 steel plate can be thermally cut satisfactorily in the as-rolled (green) condition. The hardened, heat-affected zones adjacent to the cut
surfaces should be removed before any subsequent forming or welding operation. Recommended preheating for thermal cutting is indicated in
the table below.
Grade < 1.000 in Thickness 1.000 – 3.000 in Thickness
(°F [°C]) (°F [°C])
1008 ≥50 [≥10] ≥50 [≥10]
1020 ≥50 [≥10] 200 [95]
1030 200 [95] 300 [150]
1045 300 [150] 350 [175]

Weldability
A830 steel grades are weldable by conventional electric arc welding processes when using low-hydrogen consumables and appropriate welding
practices. The electrodes for shielded metal arc welding must be properly stored and dried; the welding flux must be properly dried and free
from moisture for submerged arc welding.
Slow-cooling after welding and a post-weld heat treatment may be required to minimize cold cracking.
