Steel Castings For Highway Bridges

This document provides specifications for steel castings used in highway bridges. It outlines requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment, testing, repairs, rejections and more. Steel castings must meet standards for chemistry, strength, ductility and toughness that vary based on their designated class of 485 (70), 620 (90), or 825 (120). Tests include tension, impact and heat treatment must be to specifications. Repairs must meet inspection standards and preheat requirements are provided based on casting thickness and class.
