Introduction The BEP Alloy Selector Guide presents ASTM Specifications in numerical order to facilitate quick reference and tentative

material selection. It is impossible to cover each specification in detail. The following pages are brief descriptions of the salient features of each specification. ASTM specifications can be purchased from ASTM.org.

BEP, Bradken Energy Products, consists of Bradken-Tacoma (formerly known as Atlas Foundry and Atlas Castings and Technology), Bradken Chehalis, and Bradken London (formerly known as AG Anderson). These facilities produce castings from a wide variation of materials, especially carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, and nickel base alloys. The London facility also produces some cast iron grades. This guide reflects requirements of the latest ASTM Standard: Volume 01.02, Ferrous Castings; Ferroalloys. This selector also includes other alloys not included in ASTM that are cast by Bradken-Tacoma, e.g. alloys for military and offshore applications.

From engineering to the finished casting product, BEP helps to define and meet every casting requirement presented by its customers. Chehalis and London melt using induction furnaces. Tacoma melts metal using basic arc furnaces and AOD refining. Tacoma’s AOD (Argon, Oxygen, and Decarburization) refining process creates clean metal that can have exceptional properties.

ASTM A148 – Steel Castings, High Strength, for Structural Purposes This specification is the most used specification in the low alloy group throughout the industry. Heat treatment methods are the option of the manufacturer. Mechanical properties are the prime criteria for these materials. Chemical composition limits are imposed on sulfur and phosphorus only. The alloy is chosen by the foundry for best compliance to the grade

required. When the maximum thickness of the casting is >3 inches and will be Q+T, then a test block Tx3Tx3T is imposed up to a maximum of T=5

inches.

*Tacoma alloy 820 is typically used for these grades forup to 4 inches in wall thickness. Atlas alloy 831

is typically used for thickness exceeding 4 inches.

These alloys are best for smaller thinner castings (<500lb). The chemistry selected for these grades is dependent on the casting configuration and size. Chemistry may be selected by the foundry or, by agreement,

may be prescribed by the purchaser. These grades are very hard, crack prone, and difficult to weld and machine. Note the low elongation values specified.

ASTM A216 – Steel Castings, Carbon, Suitable for Fusion Welding, for High-Temperature Service Carbon steel castings are typically used for fittings, pumps, valves, flanges or other pressure-containing parts for high-temperature service. All three grades have excellent machinability and weldability. Repairs by welding shall be made using procedures and welders qualified under ASTM A488 or in accordance with the ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX. Supplemental requirement, S11, may be imposed for maximum carbon equivalent to control weldability. Supplementary requirement, S15, allows a water quench and temper heat treatment when specified by the user. When Charpy V-notch

impact toughness is required, water quench and temper will be invoked. Supplementary requirement, S16, is for Hydrofluoric acid service. This limits residual elements to very low levels. For this requirement

select Tacoma Alloy 711.

ASTM A217 – Steel Castings, Martensitic Stainless and Alloy, for Pressure-Containing Parts, Suitable for High-Temperature Service

These materials are used for turbines, compressors, valves, flanges, fittings and other pressure containing parts for relatively high temperatures and mildly corrosive media.

Heat treatment and chemical composition are rigidly prescribed. All grades are readily weldable and machinable, when proper techniques are followed. Major repair welds require a thermal stress relief or re-heat treatment. Repairs by welding shall be made using procedures and welders qualified under ASTM A488 or in accordance with the ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX.

ASTM A297 - Steel Castings, Iron-Chromium and Iron-Chromium-Nickel, Heat Resistant, for General Application

Tacoma Alloy 936 is a heat resistant alloy that has proven to be an excellent material for die molds. 936 is a proprietary to Tacoma. (See Alloy 936 Data Sheet on page 53).

The heat resistant grades have relatively high carbon content. Bradken-London makes these grades, Tacoma does not. They are for section thicknesses less than 3 inches. Thicker sections will have a propensity to crack. All grades have either relatively high or very high chromium and/or nickel contents. Castings for heat-resistant service may be shipped in the as-cast condition without heat treatment. If heat treatment is required, it shall be established by mutual agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser and shall be so

specified in the inquiry, contract, or order.

ASTM A351 – Castings; Austenitic for Pressure-Containing Parts

This specification covers austenitic and austenitic-ferritic (duplex) steel castings designed for use in pumps, valves, fittings, flanges and other pressure-containing parts intended for high-temperature and/or corrosive service.

Many of the grades carry the same alloy designations as those listed under Specification ASTM A743 and A744: Corrosion Resistant Castings, and contain the same basic chemistry.

Repairs by welding shall be made using procedures and welders qualified under ASTM A488 or in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX.

Grades CE20N, CF3A, CF3MA and CF8A are not recommended for service at temperatures above 800˚F [425˚C]. The duplex grades have been removed from this specification. See A995. The HK, HT, and CT 15˚C grades are normally furnished as-cast without heat treatment. All other grades are furnished in the solution-annealed condition. When austenitic steel castings are to be used in services where they will be subject to stress corrosion, the purchaser should so indicate in

his order. Such castings should be solution-heat treated following all repair welds.

ASTM A389 – Steel Castings, Alloy, Specially Heat-Treated, for Pressure-Containing Parts, Suitable for High-Temperature Service

The two grades covered by this specification represent materials that are generally suitable for assembly with other castings or wrought steel parts by fusion welding.

Typical applications include valves, flanges, fittings and other pressure-containing parts. The use of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium results in a need to preheat for welding. Repairs by welding shall be made using procedures and welders qualified under ASTM A488 or in accordance with the ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX.

ASTM A447 – Steel Castings, Chromium-Nickel-Iron Alloy (25Cr-12Ni Class), for High-Temperature Service This specification covers “iron-base” chrome-nickel heat resistant castings used for structural elements, containers, and supports in electric

furnaces, petroleum still tube supports, and for similar applications in temperatures up to 2000˚F [1093˚C]. The user should inform the producer when the service temperature will exceed 1800˚F (980˚C) Type I and II vary in their magnetic permeability requirements Type I Alloys are characterized by relatively low creep stress between 1500˚F – 2000˚F (815˚C – 1095˚C) and high ductility at ambient

temperature after aging for short periods between 1300˚F -1500˚F (705˚C – 815˚C). Type II alloys have relatively high limiting creep stress, but may develop low ductility at ambient temperature when periods between 1350˚F

-1500˚F (730˚C – 815˚C). These alloys are poured at the London Ontario foundry only.

ASTM A487 – Steel Castings Suitable for Pressure Service

This specification covers low alloy steels and martensitic stainless steels in the normalized and tempered, or quenched and tempered condition, suitable for pressure-containing parts.

The weldability of the classes in this specification varies from readily weldable to weldable only with adequate precautions. Chemical compositions are highly restrictive. Charpy impact values may become a part of the requirements when so specified in the procurement documents. Repairs by welding shall be made using procedures and welders qualified under ASTM A488 or in accordance with the ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX. CA6NM appears as two classes: A and B.

o CA6NM Class B is designed to meet softer NACE hardness requirements (see Table 3 near the end of this document). When ordering Class B the customer should specify a 0.03% carbon maximum. This will ensure that they receive a chemistry that is able to meet the low NACE hardness.

CA6NM is preferred over CA15.

ASTM A743 – Castings, Iron-Chromium, Iron-Chromium-Nickel, Corrosion Resistant, for General Application

This specification covers stainless steel castings suitable for a broad range of applications intended for a wide variety of corrosive environments.

When the application requires stainless steel for severe corrosion resistant service, reference should be made to specification A744. The proper balance of chemical composition is very important to the performance of these alloys. Cast austenitic stainless steel is weldable

because it contains at least 5% ferrite. It is recommended that the producer be fully aware of the intended use of the material so that he may verify the suitability of the alloy

specified, e.g. saltwater applications are best addressed with duplex stainless steel instead of austenitic stainless steel. It is important that the producer be aware of the weldability requirements for these materials, as well as those cases in severe corrosive

environments. Both CA15 and CA6NM are martensitic alloys, however CA6NM has superior castability, weldability, toughness, and resistance to cracking

and cavitation than the CA15 grade. Tacoma prefers CA6NM over CA15. Castings made from CA6NM have found widespread use in many pumping applications. In general, most of these alloys have welding characteristics ranging from “fair” to “excellent.” The use of carefully engineered welding procedures, proper electrodes, and qualified welding operators is very important to the successful

function of the welded parts. In particular, this is true where corrosive media are concerned, since stress corrosion or porosity caused by improper welds can lead to

accelerated corrosion attack. There are supplementary requirements that may be specified when desired by the purchaser including:

These castings may be used in services requiring corrosion resistance and high strengths at temperatures up to 600˚F, [315˚C]. They may be machined in the solution-annealed condition and subsequently precipitation hardened to the desired high-strength mechanical

properties, which depend upon the precipitation temperature used. This material is not intended for use in the solution-annealed condition. Time and temperature during heat treatment is very specific, along with the heat treatment condition of the casting prior to and after welding. When ordering this material, both the alloy type and precipitation hardening heat treatment condition must be specified on the purchase

ASTM A757 – Steel Castings, Ferritic and Martensitic, for Pressure-Containing and Other Applications, for Low-Temperature Service

This specification covers carbon and alloy steel castings for pressure containing and other applications intended primarily for petroleum and gas pipelines in areas subject to low-ambient temperatures.

Castings shall be heat treated by normalizing and tempering or liquid quenching and tempering. Hardenability of some grades may limit usable section size. All classes are weldable under proper conditions.

Charpy V-notch tests are required at temperatures ranging from -50˚F to -175˚F [-46˚C to -115˚C], depending on the grade chosen. Impact properties are required on both the heat-affected zone of the base metal and the weld metal of the welding procedure qualification test.

Test bar size varies, dependent upon customer requirements and casting section thickness. Repairs by welding shall be made using procedures and welders qualified under ASTM A488 or in accordance with the ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX. Typical grades are A1Q and E3N, which are similar to ASTM A352 grade LCB and ASTM A743 grade CA6NM, respectively.

ASTM A890 – Castings, Iron-Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum Corrosion-Resistant, Duplex (Austenitic/Ferritic) for General Application

The duplex stainless steel alloys offer a combination of enhanced mechanical properties and corrosion resistance when properly balanced in composition and properly heat-treated.

Ferrite levels are not specified. o Typical ferrite content is 35 to 65 percent with the balance austenite.

The composition of the deposited weld metal for repair welding may be similar to that of the casting or may be suitably alloyed to achieve the desired corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

Nitrogen enhances resistance to corrosion, weldability, strength, castability, and processing. Nitrogen is required in all of the grades. Grade 1B, CD4MCuN, has a nitrogen content of 0.10 - 0.25%. The old 1A had no nitrogen range. 1A and CD4MCu were deleted from this

specification because duplex stainless steel requires nitrogen. 1C, 5A and 6A also impose chemistry restrictions, which include elements that enhance corrosion resistance. Grades with a PREN value of 40 or greater fall under the category of “Super Duplex” stainless steel. PREN stands for pitting resistance

number. The number is debatably an indicator of pitting resistance. Such controversy has prompted ASTM to indicate it is an equation without mention of pitting resistance. PREN = %Cr + 3.3% Mo + 16%N > 40.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATIONS (NDE) Bradken Energy Products has developed a well-equipped on-site NDE Department staffed with fully qualified NDE specialists to perform virtually any examination or test required of a casting. Although the customer determines the type of NDE performed on castings, BEP engineering and technical personnel are available to help in making a decision on the type of NDE suitable for the casting in question. Tacoma is ASNT Qualified and maintains a ASNT Level III on staff. The following brief descriptions of NDE conducted by BEP Tacoma, Chehalis, or London provide general information on techniques used at BEP foundries. More detailed information is available by contacting a BEP Sales Representative.

NDE TYPES Magnetic Particle Examination

Magnetic particle examination is performed on ferromagnetic materials with calibrated equipment according to ASME Section III, V and VIII, ASTM E-709 and MIL STD 271, using both the “dry” and “wet” methods.

Liquid Penetrant Examination

Certified liquid penetrant materials are applied to nonmagnetic castings, which have been surface conditioned to aid the examination. Carefully controlled water temperature and pressure, casting temperature and dwell time help ensure compliance with such specifications as ASME Section III, V and VIII, ASTM E-165, NAVSEA 250-1500-1, MIL STD 2132A(SH), MIL STD 271. Tacoma prefers the water soluble method.

Radiographic Examination

Radiography, using Iridium 192, Cobalt 60 and an 8 MeV Linear Accelerator, is carried out following ASTM specifications E94, E142, ASME Section III, V and VIII, NAVSEA 250-1500-1, MIL STD 2132A(SH) and MIL STD 271. Film is processed in automatic processing equipment, densities verified using calibrated densitometers and then viewed using high intensity viewers. ASTM E71, E186, E192, E272, E280 and E446 reference radiographs are available for film interpretation purposes.

Ultrasonic Examination

Examinations are performed to detailed procedures written in accordance with ASTM A609 and ASME Section III, V and MIL STD 271. Ultrasonic equipment is calibrated in strict accordance with ASTM E317 and MIL STD 271.

NDE SPECIFICATIONS The table below summarizes the most commonly used specifications for non-destructive examination.

o This is, however, only a small fraction of the total number of specifications that have been developed for the nondestructive examination of various types of metal products.

It is incumbent on the foundry to have adequate knowledge of these many specifications, as well as to have the necessary equipment and properly trained personnel to perform the tests.

It is equally incumbent on the manufacturer to properly communicate his requirements and to neither over-specify nor under-specify such requirements as they may apply to a particular part.

Hardness Conversions

Austenitic Stainless Steel Hardness Conversions NACE Standard MR0175 requires the hardness for this material not to exceed 22HRC. Typically, these materials are less than 20HRC.

o ASTM tables do not list values, because below 20HRC the test is not accurate. o Using table 2C and 2D of ASTM A370, an approximate hardness conversion for austenitic steels is shown.

CA6NM - Martensitic Stainless Steel The standard ASTM A370 hardness conversion tables state that the tables give approximate interrelationships of hardness values.

Data was developed in Tacoma on CA6NM material, which shows that the ASTM conversion tables do not apply and the more accurate relationship is shown in the table below.

For example, if a Rockwell C hardness maximum of 23 were necessary for a CA6NM part, this would convert to a Brinell of 255 HBW in lieu of the ASTM conversion of 243 HBW for a typical steel alloy.

The C

a Alloy 715 show

the effect of A

OD

(Argon O

xygen Decarburization) refinem

ent versus conventionally Electric A

rc F

urnace (Arc)

refined metal. W

hen carbon steel is processed using the AO

D m

ethod of refining, the im

pact properties are enhanced as shown above.

The A

OD

process offers an opportunity to improve steel w

ith basic refining. The product

of this refinement is steel w

ith low residual gas levels resulting in few

er non-metallic

inclusions. This cleaner steel coupled w

ith low sulfur levels (typically less than 0.010%

) dram

atically improves toughness properties.

Although carbon steel can be produced by conventional m

ethods, AO

D processing further

improves the integrity of the casting. A

OD

refined carbon steel has excellent weldability

due to the low carbon and low

sulfur contents. Hot tearing during solidification on even

the most intricate shape is dim

inished considerably, reducing the need to weld repair and

enhancing the quality of the casting.

Bradken T

acoma A

lloy 715 should be considered when a plain carbon steel w

ith excellent im

pact strength is required. Upon request, certifications are available verifying specific

low tem

perature impact properties. T

he customer should specify the desired test

temperature and the m

inimum

absorbed energy that must be achieved.

Bradken T

acoma testing facilities include a certified C

harpy V-notch im

pact machine and

a nil-ductility transition temperature (N

eet requirements for

toughness properties.

Crevice C

orrosion

Many stainless steels have excellent overall corrosion resistance; how

ever most have not

been extensively employed in seaw

ater because they are subject to localized corrosion in stagnant sea w

ater.T

his type of attack is a form of crevice corrosion that m

ay occur as a result of a lack of oxygen w

hich is necessary to form a protective passive film

. The

stagnant conditions arise when the flow

rate is typically less than about 3.9 to 5.2 ft per second, w

hen marine organism

s are attached to the surface or where crevices exist.

The crevice corrosion resistance w

as evaluated for various alloys by determining the

critical crevice temperature, the tem

perature above which an alloy becom

es susceptible to crevice corrosion. T

ests were perform

ed in a 10% ferric chloride solution at pH

1 for 24 hours.
