This specification covers a heat-treatable, corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire, forgings, mechanical tubing, and stock for forging or heading.These products have been used typically for parts and fittings requiring corrosion resistance and high strength at room and elevated (up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)) temperature, but usage is not limited to such applications.Certain design and processing procedures may cause these products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking. ARP1110 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
