Standard Specification for Steel Sheet, as Cold-Reduced, for Conversion to Annealed Cold-Rolled Steel Sheet, and Hot Dip Metallic-Coated Steel Sheet

ABSTRACT
This specification covers requirements for as cold-reduced, steel sheet in coils intended for conversion into cold-rolled steel sheet on continuous annealing lines, and metallic-coated steel sheet on continuous hot-dip coating lines. As cold-reduced steel sheet in coils comes in a semi-finished form and is produced to thickness requirements expressed to 0.001 in. (0.01 mm). Due to the high degree of cold reduction, as cold-reduced steel sheet exhibits high tensile strength with very minimal ductility.
This specification prescribes the requirements for chemical composition; mechanical properties; dimensions and mass; flatness, width, and coil size; product finish and condition; and packaging and marking.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for as cold-reduced steel sheet in coils intended for conversion into cold-rolled steel sheet on continuous annealing lines, and metallic-coated steel sheet on continuous hot-dip coating lines.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview

ASTM A1092-15(2020) is the standard specification developed by ASTM International for as cold-reduced steel sheet in coils. This specification addresses steel sheets intended for subsequent conversion into either annealed cold-rolled steel sheet or hot-dip metallic-coated steel sheet. The standard provides comprehensive requirements for the semi-finished cold-reduced steel sheet that is produced to precise thickness tolerances down to 0.001 inches (0.01 mm). It ensures compatibility for downstream processing on continuous annealing and hot-dip coating lines in a wide range of industrial applications.

Key Topics

  • Product Scope:

    • Covers as cold-reduced steel sheet in coils for conversion into finished cold-rolled or metallic-coated steel sheets.
    • Produced to tight thickness requirements, up to 0.001 in (0.01 mm).
    • Intended to be further processed on continuous annealing or hot-dip metallic-coating lines.
  • Physical & Chemical Requirements:

    • Requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensions, mass, and flatness.
    • Surface finish, edge condition, and coil size specifications.
    • Packaging and marking agreed between producer and purchaser.
  • Semi-Finished Form:

    • Delivered in a form with high tensile strength and very low ductility.
    • Not intended for direct end-use but for further annealing or coating.
  • Ordering Information:

    • Includes specification of dimensions, product finish, coil size, edge condition, and any special certification needs.

Applications

Steels conforming to ASTM A1092-15(2020) are used as input materials for industrial processes such as:

  • Automotive Manufacturing: As a base material for body panels and structural components after further cold-rolling or metallic coating.
  • Appliance & HVAC Production: Precursor steel for durable, corrosion-resistant enclosures and mechanical components.
  • Construction Industry: Base steel for coated building materials, roofing, and framing products.
  • Packaging: Input for metallic-coated sheet steel used in durable containers and protective packaging.

Because these steel sheets are semi-finished, manufacturers use them for:

  • Continuous annealing to improve ductility and formability,
  • Hot-dip metallic coating (e.g., galvanizing, aluminizing) to enhance corrosion resistance.

Cold-reduced steel sheet under this standard is not intended for direct application but is crucial to achieve desired mechanical and surface properties following further processing.

Related Standards

The ASTM A1092-15(2020) standard references several other key ASTM specifications that detail requirements for both the completed steel sheets and their metallic coatings, including:

  • ASTM A1008/A1008M: For cold-rolled carbon and structural steel sheet.
  • ASTM A653/A653M: For zinc-coated (galvanized) steel sheet.
  • ASTM A792/A792M: For aluminum-zinc alloy-coated steel sheet.
  • ASTM A924/A924M, A568/A568M: For general requirements regarding steel sheet, including dimensions and tolerances.
  • ASTM A1046/A1046M: For zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy-coated steel.
  • ASTM A1079, A1088: For advanced high strength grades (Complex Phase-CP, Dual Phase-DP, Transformation Induced Plasticity-TRIP).
  • ASTM A929/A929M: For metallic-coated steel sheet used in corrugated steel pipe.

These related standards ensure that final products meet requirements for service environments, formability, strength, and durability.
