1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers hot-finished or cold-finished
bars except bars for reforging (Note 1). It includes rounds,
squares, and hexagons, and hot-rolled or extruded shapes, such
as angles, tees, and channels in the more commonly used types
of stainless steels. The free-machining types (Note 2), for
general corrosion resistance and high-temperature service, are
covered in a separate specification.
