Notes: (a) Permissible but not recommended for
prolonged use above 800⁰F
(d) Not to be used over 650⁰F (f) Not to be used over 800⁰F (g) Not to be used over 850⁰F (h) Not to be used over 1000⁰F Additional Notes: (1) Upon prolonged exposure to temperatures above about 800⁰F (425⁰C), the carbide phase of carbonsteel may be converted to graphite (3) Only killed steel shall be used above 850⁰F (455⁰C) (5) At temperatures over 1000⁰F (540⁰C), use only when the carbon content is 0.04 percent or higher (6) For temperatures above 1000⁰F (540⁰F), use only if the material is heat treated by heating it to a temperature of at least 1900⁰F (1040⁰C) and quenching in water or rapidly cooling by other means. |
