ASTM A 959 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Specifying Harmonized Standard Grade Compositions for Wrought Stainless Steels
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2007
Scope:
This document provides a guide to ASTM Subcommittees A01.06,
A01.10, A01.17, A01.22, and A01.28 for specifying chemical
composition limits of wrought stainless steels. It is intended that
these recommended grade composition limits be suitable for adoption
by other standardization bodies that prepare standards for
stainless steel products.
Included in this guide are the recommendations for determining
the number of significant figures for specifying chemical
composition from Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A
751.
All stainless steel UNS numbers and the stainless steel grades
in all standards overseen by the aforementioned ASTM subcommittees
have been included, except those grades applicable to restricted
special end uses and alloys containing less than 10.5 % minimum
chromium.
Not addressed are minor composition modifications which a
specific product subcommittee may find necessary to accommodate
effects of normal processing or to enhance fabricability by the
producer or user, or both.
Also not generally addressed (except when established byASTM
product subcommittees) is a complete rationalization of all limits,
especially when such would conflict with long-standing practices
and is not justified by special technical effect.
Excluded from this guide are cast material and welding filler
metal.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
