A
To meet the tensile requirements, the Brinell hardness shall be over 200 HBW (93 HRB).
B
Class 1 is solution treated. Class 1A is solution treated in the finished condition for corrosion resistance; heat treatment is critical due to physical property requirement.
Class 2 is solution treated and strain C&N HUITONG
