ASTM A705 Specification

This specification2 covers age-hardening stainless steel forgings for general use. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

Note:

A. The steel shall conform to the chemical composition limits specified in Chemical Requirements Table.
B. Time refers to minimum time material is at temperature and may be extended to obtain required ductility properties.
C. Unless otherwise noted, temperatures shown are suggested temperatures and may be varied to obtain required tensile properties.
D. Intermediate temperatures must meet the ductility requirements of the next highest suggested hardening or aging temperature, or both.
Example: Type 630 at 1050°F [565°C] must have 13 % elongation and 45 % reduction, same as for age hardening at 1075°F [580°C].
E. (L) - Longitudinal axis of specimen parallel to direction of grain flow during rolling or forging. (T) - Transverse axis of specimen perpendicular to direction of grain flow during rolling or forging.
F. Methods and practices relating to chemical analysis required by this specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A751.
G. Either Rockwell C hardness or Brinell is permissible. On sizes 1⁄2 in. (12.70 mm) and smaller, Rockwell C is preferred.
H. Refer to Table 2 for details on equalize and over temper heat treatment.
I. Applies to consumable electrode vacuum remelted.
J. Only tensile strength applicable to sizes up to 1⁄2 in. (13 mm).
K. Consumable electrode remelted only.
L. For the H900 condition of S11100, the duration set up between 4 and 8 hours.
