Unless otherwise specified in the order, the processes used to manufacture the steel are at the discretion of the manufacturer. The chemical composition must conform to the requirements of the standard. The material must be free of potentially harmful internal and surface flaws. Mechanical properties of steel must meet standard requirements.
