Abstract

This specification tackles standards for pressure consolidated powder metallurgy iron-nickel-chromium-molybdenum and nickel-chromium-molybdenum-columbium pipe flanges, fittings, valves, and parts intended for general corrosion or heat-resisting service. Compacts shall be manufactured by placing a single powder blend into a can, evacuating the can, and sealing it. The can material shall then be selected to ensure that it has no deleterious effect on the final product. The specimen shall be heated and placed under sufficient pressure for a sufficient period of time to ensure that the final consolidated part is fully dense. The powder shall be produced by vacuum melting followed by gas atomization. The heats shall be thoroughly mixed to ensure homogeneity when powder from more than one heat is used to make a blend. The material shall have the chemical compositions of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, iron, cobalt, columbium, aluminum, titanium, nitrogen, and copper. Hydrostatic test shall be conducted and the specimen must show no leaks. The density test shall be performed using sample suspended from a scale and weighed in air and water using Archimedes principle. Check Analysis shall be wholly the responsibility of the purchaser. The parts of the specimen shall be uniform in quality and condition, and shall be free from injurious imperfections.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers pressure consolidated powder metallurgy iron-nickel-chromium-molybdenum (UNS N08367) and nickel-chromium-molybdenumcolumbium (Nb) (UNS N06625) pipe flanges, fittings, valves, and parts intended for general corrosion or heat-resisting service.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to test methods portions, Sections 7.3 and 13, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
