Significance and Use

16、4.1 The tensile and impact properties, the weldability, andthe corrosion resistance of iron-chromium-nickel alloy castingsmay be influenced beneficially or detrimentally by the ratio ofthe amount of ferrite to the amount of austenite in themicrostructure. The ferrite content may be limited by purcha

17、seorder requirements or by the design construction codes gov-erning the equipment in which the castings will be used. Thequantity of ferrite in the structure is fundamentally a functionof the chemical composition of the alloy and its thermalhistory. Because of segregation, the chemical composition,a

18、nd, therefore, the ferrite content, may differ from point topoint on a casting. Determination of the ferrite content by anyof the procedures described in the following practice is subjectto varying degrees of imprecision which must be recognized insetting realistic limits on the range of ferrite con

19、tent specified.Sources of error include the following:4.1.1 In Determinations from Chemical CompositionDeviations from the actual quantity of each element present inan alloy because of chemical analysis variance, althoughpossibly minor in each case, can result in substantial differencein the ratio o

20、f total ferrite-promoting to total austenite-promoting elements. Therefore, the precision of the ferritecontent estimated from chemical composition depends on theaccuracy of the chemical analysis procedure.4.1.2 In Determinations from Magnetic ResponsePhasesother than ferrite and austenite may be fo

21、rmed at certaintemperatures and persist at room temperature. These may soalter the magnetic response of the alloy that the indicatedferrite content is quite different from that of the same chemicalcomposition that has undergone different thermal treatment.Also, because the magnets or probes of the v

22、arious measuringinstruments are small, different degrees of surface roughness orsurface curvature will vary the magnetic linkage with thematerial being measured.4.1.3 In Determinations from MetallographicExaminationMetallographic point count estimates of ferritepercentage may vary with the etching t

23、echnique used foridentification of the ferrite phase and with the number of gridpoints chosen for the examination, as explained in Test MethodE 562.4.2 The estimation of ferrite percent by chemical composi-tion offers the most useful and most common method of ferritecontrol during melting of the met

24、al.4.3 For most accurate estimate of ferrite percent, a quanti-tative metallographic method should be used.5. Ordering Information5.1 Orders for material to this practice should include thefollowing as required:5.1.1 ApplicableASTM product specification or other docu-ment covering product requiremen

25、ts,5.1.2 Alloy grade,5.1.3 Required ferrite content range, in volume percent, ofthe castings after final heat treatment. Also, if desired by thepurchaser, required ferrite content range, in ferrite number, forweld deposits (Note 1) as deposited, and5.1.4 Supplementary requirements, if any, desired.N

26、OTE 1There may be a substantial decrease in the ferrite content ofweld deposits after solution heat treatment in comparison with theas-deposited value.6. General Caution6.1 In specifying ferrite content as required in 5.1.3, thepurchaser should not set limits that conflict with applicablematerial sp

27、ecification requirements: for example, a maximumlimit of 10 % ferrite for Grade CF-3A in Specification A 351/A 351M for which the minimum tensile strength requirement is77 ksi 530 MPa.6.2 When Supplementary Requirement S1 is specified, thepurchaser should set ferrite content limits that are compatib

30、an amount determined by analysis of the specificheat if actual chemical analyses have been made for nitrogen ina sufficient number of heats of the same alloy type, producedby the same melting practice, to establish the average nitrogencontent to be expected.7.1.2 The ferrite content of the casting s

31、hall be estimatedfrom the central line of the diagram at the composition ratio of“chromium equivalent” (Cre) to “nickel equivalent” (Nie)determined from the following formula:Cr%! 1 1.5Si%! 1 1.4Mo%! 1 Cb%! 2 4.99!/Ni%!130C%! 1 0.5Mn%! 1 26N 2 0.02%! 1 2.77!5 Cre!/Nie!7.1.3 When a product analysis i

32、s made by the purchaser, itshall include the elements listed in 7.1.1.
