ASTM Standards

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

1.1 This standard covers the inspection requirements agreed upon by the purchaser and producer of steel castings for the sample castings prior to production of the completed order.This standard includes all castings covered by Specifications A703/A703M, A781/A781M, A957/A957M, and A985/A985M. It also identifies when a new sample needs to be developed. 1.2 Several categories of

1.1 This specification covers austenitic-ferritic (duplex) stainless steel castings for valves, flanges, fittings, and other pressure-containing parts. 1.2 The duplex stainless steels offer a combination of enhanced mechanical properties and corrosion resistance when properly balanced in composition and properly heat treated. Ferrite levels are not specified, but these grades will develop a range of approximately

1.1 This specification covers stainless steel forgings for compressor and turbine bucket, blade, and airfoil applications. 1.2 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI units; however, unless the purchase order or contract specifies the applicable M designation (SI units), the inch-pound units shall apply. The values stated in either inch-pound units

1.1 This test method covers how to determine the magneticcharacteristics of magnetically hard materials (permanentmagnets), particularly their initial magnetization,demagnetization, and recoil curves, and such quantities as theresidual induction, coercive field strength, knee field, energyproduct, and recoil permeability. This test method is suitablefor all materials processed into bulk magnets by any commonfabrication technique (casting, sintering, rolling,

1.1 This practice covers a procedure for the magnetic particle examination of steel forgings using alternating current as the power source. The procedure will produce consistent results upon which acceptance standards can be based. This practice does not contain acceptance limits or recommended quality levels. 1.2 Only alternating 50- -60 cycle current shall be used

1.1 This specification covers austenitic stainless steel forg-ings for boilers, pressure vessels, high temperature parts, and associated equipment. 1.2 Supplementary requirements are provided for use when additional testing, inspection, or processing is required. In addition, supplementary requirements from Specification A788/A788M may be specified when appropriate.

1.1 This practice covers a basic procedure of ultrasonically inspecting cylindrical forgings with bores from the bore surface. 1.2 This practice applies to the manual testing mode. It does not restrict the use of other testing modes, such as mechanized or automated.
