Introduction
Alloy steels are designated by AISI four-digit numbers. They comprise different kinds of steels having composition exceeding the limitations of B, C, Mn, Mo, Ni, Si, Cr, and Va set for carbon steels. They quickly respond to mechanical and heat treatments than the carbon steels.
The following datasheet gives an overview of AISI A607 grade 50 alloy steel.
