SAE J1081-2000 pdf download Potential Standard Steels
Scope-This SAE lnformation Report provides a uniform means of designating wrought steels during a periodof usage prior to the time they meet the requirements for SAE standard steel designation. The numbersconsist of the prefix PS1 followed by a sequential number starting with 1. A number once assigned is neverassigned to any other composition.
A PS number may be obtained for steel composition by submitting a written request to SAE Staff, indicatincthe chemical composition and other pertinent characteristics of the material. lf the request is approvedaccording to established procedures, SAE Staff wi assign a PS number to the grade. This number will remainin effect until the arade meets the requirements for an SAE standard steel or the grade is discontinuedaccording to established procedures.
Table 1 is a listing of the chemical composition limits of potential standard steels which were considered activeon the date of the last survey prior to the date of this report. These ladle limits are subiect to standardvariations for check analysis as given in SAE J409.
