In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A848. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
Ok let's start with ASTM A848 chemical composition.
Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Learn more about what is yield strength.
Learn more about what is tensile strength.
Learn more about what is elongation.
Learn more about reduction of area.
Learn more about density.
Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A848 currently ranks 85 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 84 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.
What is the difference between Code, Standard & Specification?

What is ASTM A848?
ASTM A848 is a Specification for Low-Carbon Magnetic IronCategory
Magnetic IronScope
This specification covers the requirements for wrought low-carbon iron having a carbon content of 0.015 % or less with the remainder of the analysis being substantially iron.Ok let's start with ASTM A848 chemical composition.

Allowable Stress
Depends on the project (And its factor of safety).Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
My Material's Rank
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A848 currently ranks 85 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 84 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.
