The ASTM A476 specification covers cold and hot finished stainless steel bars and hot-rolled or extruded shapes.  More specifically, the ASTM 476 specification encompasses the following products in the more commonly used types of stainless steel:

•  Stainless Steel Bars, including round bars, square bars, and hex bars
• Stainless Steel hot rolled or extruded structural shapes, including angles, tees, and channels.

This specification covers four conditions:

• annealed
• tempered
• normalized
• quenched

These are suitable for boiler and pressure vessel construction. The stainless steel is available in four grades, including austenitic, austenitic-ferritic, ferritic, and martensitic grades. The material shall be subjected to a mechanical test to determine its tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Brinell hardness.
