B 
For some specific products, it may not be practicable to use a 2-in. or 50-mm gage length. The use of sub-size test specimens, when necessary, is permissible in
accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370 or Test Methods A1058.
C 
Reduction of area does not apply on flat bars 3 ⁄ 16 in. [4.76 mm] and under in thickness as this determination is not generally made in this product size.

specified in the purchase order.
E 
Or equivalent Rockwell hardness (HRB or HRC).
F 
For extruded shapes of all Cr-Ni grades of Condition A, the yield strength shall be 25 ksi [170 MPa] min and tensile strength shall be 70 ksi [480 MPa] min.
G 
For shapes having section thickness of 1 ⁄ 2  in. [12.5 mm] or less, 30% min. elongation is acceptable.
H 
Material shall be capable of being heat treated to a maximum Brinell hardness of 250 HBW when oil quenched from 1750°F [950°C].

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Committee A01   has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue
(A276/A276M – 16a) that may impact the use of this standard. (Approved March 15, 2017.)
