NOTES:
A Grade F 2 was formerly assigned to the 1% chromium, 0.5% molybdenum grade which is now Grade F 12.
B The present grade F 5a (0.25 max carbon) previous to 1955 was assigned the identification symbol F 5. Identification symbol F 5 in 1955 was assigned to the 0.15 max carbon grade to
be consistent with ASTM specifications for other products such as pipe, tubing, bolting, welding fittings, etc.
C For Grade F 22V, rare earth metals (REM) may be added in place of calcium, subject to agreement between the producer and the purchaser. In that case the total amount of REM shall
be determined and reported.
D Grade F XM-27Cb shall have a nickel plus copper content of 0.50 max %. Product analysis tolerance over the maximum specified limit for carbon and nitrogen shall be 0.002%.
E Grades F 304, F 304L, F 316, and F 316L shall have a maximum nitrogen content of 0.10%.
F Grades F 304N, F 316N, F 304LN, and F 316LN shall have a nitrogen content of 0.10 to 0.16%.
G Grade F 321 shall have a titanium content of not less than five times the carbon content and not more than 0.70%.
pd: sec2a Rev 15.04
H Grade F 321H shall have a titanium content of not less than 4 times the carbon content and not more than 0.70%.
I Grades F 347 and F 348 shall have a columbium content of not less than ten times the carbon content and not more than 1.10%.
J Grades F 347H and F 348H shall have a columbium content of not less than 8 times the carbon content and not more than 1.10%.
