2) Remark: Not all shapes of the flats can be delivered in a hardened and tempered state. The tensile test values are valid for longitudinal specimens up to 600 mm sheet width, and for widths > 600 mm for transversal specimens.
3) Remark: With dimensions of 80 mm and more it can be presupposed for this steel, that it can be subjected to shearing stress in an untreated state.
