1、Designation: A 859/A 859M 04 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Specification forAge-Hardening Alloy Steel Forgings for Pressure VesselComponents1This standard is issued under the fixed designationA 859/A 859M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the

2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers requirements for low-carbonage-hardening nickel-copper-chromi

3、um-molybdenum-columbium alloy steel forgings for pressure vessel compo-nents.1.2 Forgings under this specification are available as GradesA or B. Grade A may be ordered in one or two classes asfollows:1.2.1 Grade A Class 1Normalized-and-precipitation-heat-treated, providing a minimum yield strength

4、of 55 ksi 380MPa and a minimum tensile strength of 65 ksi 450 MPa.1.2.2 Grade A Class 2Quenched-and-precipitation-heat-treated, providing a minimum yield strength of 65 ksi 450MPa and a minimum tensile strength of 75 ksi MPa.1.2.3 Grade A was the original steel composition in thisspecification.1.3 A

5、lthough the material is readily weldable, weldingprocedures are of fundamental importance and must be such asnot to affect adversely the properties of the material, especiallyin the heat-affected zone. It is presupposed that weldingprocedures will be suitable for the material being welded.1.4 Supple

6、mentary requirements, including those applicablein Specification A 788/A 788M, are provided for use whenadditional testing or inspection is desired. These shall applyonly when specified individually by the purchaser in the order.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be r

7、egarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.6 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound and

8、SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable“M” specification designation SI units, the material shall befurnished to inch-pound units.2.
