In the A606 specification two conditions are noted for this steel, "as-rolled" and annealed; the mech. properties of annealed are about 10% less than as rolled. I am concerned that welding as-rolled material alters the properties to the annealed values in the HAZ. Does anyone know if this is true?

Don't worry. Welding of hot rolled A-606 will not "anneal" the HAZ to the lower strength of annealed A-606.

 
Stanweld,

Thanks. What's curious is why AWS D1.1 only reports the annealed values for A606 in the material tables.
 
AWS D1.1 is simply giving the minimum strength of A-606 since there are no "grade" designations.
