a. It is not advisable to add unspecified elements to steel without the buyer’s consent, except to complete smelting. All reasonable precautions should be taken to prevent the addition of elements from waste or other materials used in manufacturing that affect hardenability, mechanical properties and suitability. b.The group of b steel is closest to the composition range specified in GB/T 3098.6 and GB/T 3098.15, however, those contained in this table may not be exactly consistent. | |||||||||||||
