Form:

This specification covers a heat-treatable, corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire, forgings, mechanical tubing, and stock for forging or heading.

Application:

These products have been used typically for parts and fittings requiring corrosion resistance and high strength at room and elevated [up to 500 °F (260 °C)] temperature, but usage is not limited to such applications.

Certain design and processing procedures may cause these products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking. ARP1110 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
