The following specifications cover Carbon Steels A105
- ASTM A105
- ASTM A695 (B)
- UNS K03504
| Principal Design Features | |
A 105 is an ASTM specification dealing with forged carbon steel piping components. The steel alloy involved is a low carbon, manganese and silicon containing steel similar to AISI 1330, but with lower manganese content. |
|
|
||
| Applications | |
This ASTM specification covers carbon steel forgings for piping applications such as flanges and fittings |
|
|
||
| Machinability | |
Machinability is good as for any of the low alloy steels. |
|
|
||
| Forming | |
This specification covers forming by forging only. |
|
|
||
| Welding | |
The steel covered by this specification is weldable. Weld procedures used must be qualified with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. |
|
|
||
| Heat Treatment | |
Heat treatment is not required except for flanges or piping components as called out in ASTM A 105/A section 5.1. When heat treatment is required it consists of normalizing at 1550 to 1700 F and air cooled. Quenching direct from the forging heating shall be followed by a temper at 1100 F and air cool. |
|
|
||
| Forging | |
This is a forging alloy that would be forged at temperatures in the range of 2200 to 1700 F followed by quenching and tempering or normalizing. |
|
|
||
| Hot Working | |
See “Forging”. |
|
|
||
| Cold Working | |
This specification does not cover cold working other than machining. |
|
|
||
| Annealing | |
Annealing may be done by first allowing the forged parts to cool to below 1000 F and then reheat to between 1550 and 1700 F followed by slow furnace cooling. |
|
|
||
| Aging | |
Not applicable. |
|
|
||
| Tempering | |
Tempering is done at 1100 F followed by air cooling. |
|
|
||
| Hardening | |
See “Heat Treatment” and “Tempering”. |
|
|
||
| Other Comments | |
Physical and mechanical properties are similar to those for AISI 1330 steel. Consult ASTM A105 for requirements as to strength and hardness. |
