Hot-rolled carbon steel strip, sheet and plate of commercial and drawing qualities
(First revision)
This Malaysian Standard applies to hot-rolled carbon steel strip, sheet and plate of commercial and drawing qualities.
Hot-rolled steel strip, sheet and plate are suitable for many applications where the presence of oxide or scale, or normal surface imperfections disclosed after removal of oxide or scale, are not objectionable. They are not suitable for applications where surface is of prime importance.
Commercial quality (SPHC) is intended for general fabricating purposes where sheet is used in the flat condition or for bending, moderate forming and welding operations.
Hot rolled carbon steel is available in several fabrication qualities. Drawing quality (SPHD, SPHE, SPHF) is intended for drawing or severe forming, including welding. Drawing quality is furnished according to all the requirements of this standard, or, by agreement when ordered, to fabricate an identified part, in which case the mechanical property requirements do not apply. Drawing qualities are identified as follows:
a) SPHD – Drawing quality
b) SPHE – Deep drawing quality
c) SPHF – Deep drawing aluminium killed quality
Steel strip, sheet and plate that are to be subjected to subsequent rerolling are not covered by this standard.
