This SAE Information Report provides a list of those SAE steels which, because of decreased usage, have been deleted from the standard SAE Handbook listings. Included are alloy steels from SAE J778 deleted since 1936, carbon steels from SAE J118 deleted since 1952, and all EX-steels deleted from SAE J1081. Information concerning SAE steels prior to these dates may be obtained from the SAE office on request. With the issuance of this report, SAE J778, Formerly Standard SAE Alloy Steels, and SAE J118, Formerly Standard SAE Carbon Steels, will be retired since they are now combined in SAE J1249. In the future, new assignments to SAE J1081, Chemical Compositions of SAE Experimental Steels, will be given "PS" (Potential Standard) numbers rather than "EX" numbers. The steels listed in Tables 1 and 2 are no longer considered as standard steels. Producers should be contacted concerning availability. The last column lists the date a steel was last listed as standard in the SAE Handbook.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide basic information on properties and characteristics of high strength carbon and alloy steels which have been subjected to special die drawing. This includes both cold drawing with heavier-than-normal drafts and die drawing at elevated temperatures.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide basic information on properties and characteristics of high strength carbon and alloy steels which have been subjected to special die drawing. This includes both cold drawing with heavier-than-normal drafts and die drawing at elevated temperatures.

This recommended practice covers five levels of high strength carbon and high strength low-alloy steel plates, bars, and shapes for structural use.

This recommended practice covers five levels of high-strength carbon and high-strength, low-alloy steel plates, bars, and shapes for structural use.

This SAE Recommended Practice covers six levels of high strength carbon and high-strength low-alloy steel plates, bars, and shapes for structural use. The six strength levels are 290, 345, 415, 450, 485, and 550 MPa or 42, 50, 60, 65, 70, and 80 ksi minimum yield point. Different chemical compositions are used to achieve the specified mechanical properties. In some cases there are significant differences in chemical composition for the same strength level, depending on the fabricating requirements. Because the chemical compositions may vary significantly among the producers, despite the required mechanical properties being the same, it is important that the fabricator consult with the producer to determine the relative effects of the producer's composition on the forming, welding, and field service requirements.

This SAE Standard prescribes the procedure for making hardenability tests and recording results on shallow and medium hardening steels, but not deep hardening steels that will normally air harden. Included are procedures using the 25 mm (1 in) standard hardenability end-quench specimen for both medium and shallow hardening steels and subsize method for bars less than 32 mm (1-1/4 in) in diameter. Methods for determining case hardenability of carburized steels are given in SAE J1975. Any hardenability tests made under other conditions than those given in this document will not be deemed standard and will be subject to agreement between supplier and user. Whenever check tests are made, all laboratories concerned must arrange to use the same alternate procedure with reference to test specimen and method of grinding for hardness testing.
