Maximum unless otherwise indicated.
B
When silicon is required, the following ranges and limits are commonly specified: 0.10 %, max, 0.10 % to 0.20 %, 0.15 % to 0.35 %, 0.20 % to 0.40 %, or 0.30 % to
0.60 %.
C
Copper can be specified when required as 0.20 % minimum.
D
When lead is required as an added element to a standard steel, a range of 0.15 to 0.35 % inclusive is specified. Such a steel is identified by inserting the letter “L” between
the second and third numerals of the grade designation, for example, 10 L 45. A cast or heat analysis is not determinable when lead is added to the ladle stream.
E
When boron treatment for killed steels is specified, the steels can be expected to contain 0.0005 to 0.003 % boron. If the usual titanium additive is not permitted, the
steels can be expected to contain up to 0.005 % boron.
F
The elements bismuth, calcium, selenium, or tellurium may be added as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier.
G
Unless prohibited by the purchaser, the manganese content may exceed 0.60 % on heat analysis to a maximum of 0.75 %, provided the carbon range on heat analysis
has the minimum and maximum reduced by 0.01 % for each 0.05 % manganese over 0.60 %.
These can be the heat chemical range and limit for a grade 4.3.1 Merchant quality carbon bar steel is not subject to

TABLE 2 Grade Designations and Chemical Compositions of Alloy Steel Bars
NOTE 1—Small quantities of certain elements are present in alloy steels, which are not specified or required. These elements are considered as incidental
and may be present to the following maximum amounts: copper, 0.35 %; nickel, 0.25 %; chromium, 0.20 % and molybdenum, 0.06 %.
NOTE 2—Where minimum and maximum sulfur content is shown it is indicative of resulfurized steel.
NOTE 3—The chemical ranges and limits shown in Table 2 are produced to product analysis tolerances shown in Table 6.
NOTE 4—Standard alloy steels can be produced with a lead range of 0.15–0.35 %. Such steels are identified by inserting the letter “L” between the
second and third numerals of the AISI number, for example, 41 L 40. A cast or heat analysis is not determinable when lead is added to the ladle stream.
