ASTM A887 – Standard Specification for Borated Stainless Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip for Nuclear Application Description: Abstract This specification covers chromium-nickel stainless steel plate, sheet, and strip, modified by the addition of natural or enriched boron, for nuclear application. The austenitic chromium-nickel steels shall be solution annealed to meet the mechanical property requirements. The …
ASTM A802 – Standard Practice for Steel Castings, Surface Acceptance Standards, Visual Examination Description: Abstract This practice covers the standard acceptance criteria for the determination of surface texture, surface roughness, and surface discontinuities of steel castings by visual examination. The acceptance levels utilize the Steel Castings Research and Trade Association (SCRATA) graded reference comparators described …
ASTM A800 – Standard Practice for Estimating Ferrite Content of Stainless Steel Castings Containing Both Ferrite and Austenite Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The tensile and impact properties, the weldability, and the corrosion resistance of iron-chromium-nickel alloy castings may be influenced beneficially or detrimentally by the ratio of the amount of ferrite to the amount of …
ASTM A799 – Standard Practice for Steel Castings, Stainless, Instrument Calibration, for Estimating Ferrite Content Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The amount of ferrite present in an austenitic stainless steel has been shown to influence the strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance of this type of cast alloy. The amount of ferrite present tends to correlate well …
ASTM A770 – Standard Specification for Through-Thickness Tension Testing of Steel Plates for Special Applications Description: Abstract This specification covers procedures and acceptance standards for the determination of reduction of area using steel plates as tension test specimen. The tension testing method shall provide a measure of the resistance of a steel plate to lamellar …
