1 Scope
This standard specifies a method for determining the hardenability of steel by end quenching (Jominy test) by using a test piece 25mm in diameter and 100mm long.
Note: By agreement and for a defined field of application, the test described in this standard may be replaced by the calculation of the Jominy curve in accordance with an accepted mathematical model (see Annex C). In case of dispute, the test shall be carried out.
