ANSI – American National Standards Institute.  Formerly the ASA American Standards Association.

ASME – American Society of Mechanical Engineers

As carbon content rises, the metal becomes harder and stronger but less ductile and more difficult to weld. Higher carbon content lowers steel’s melting point and its temperature resistance in general.
