Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes For Use in Boilers and Other Pressure Vessels
Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes For Use in Boilers and Other Pressure Vessels
1. Scope *
1.1 This specification2 covers hot- and cold-finished bars of
stainless steel, including rounds, squares, and hexagons, and
hot-rolled or extruded shapes such as angles, tees, and channels
for use in boiler and pressure vessel construction.2
3. Ordering Information
3.1 It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify all
requirements that are necessary for material ordered under this
specification. Such requirements may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
3.1.1 Quantity (weight or number of pieces);
3.1.2 Dimensions, including diameter or thickness (and
width), shape or form, applicable prints or sketches, length,
etc.;
3.1.3 Type or UNS designation (Table 1);
3.1.4 ASTM designation and edition year if other than latest
edition;
3.1.5 Heat treated condition (Section 4);
3.1.6 Finish (see Manufacture section of Specification
A 484/A 484M);
3.1.7 Supplementary Requirements invoked for special services (described at the end of this specification);
3.1.8 Whether bars are to be rolled as bars or cut from strip
or plate;
3.1.9 Preparation for delivery (see Preparation for Delivery
section of Specification A 484/A 484M);
3.1.10 Marking requirements (see Marking section of
Specification A 484/A 484M);
3.1.11 Surface preparation of shapes (see Manufacture section of Specification A 484/A 484M); and
3.1.12 The intended use of the material, if the purchaser
considers this useful information.
NOTE 1There are standards covering high nickel, chromium, austenitic corrosion, and heat-resisting alloy materials. These standards are
under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee B02.07 and may be found
in Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 02.04.

4. Heat Treatment
4.1 Austenitic Grades:
4.1.1 Except for the strain-hardened grade (see 4.1.3) and
the hot-rolled grade (see 4.1.4), all austenitic grades of stainless steel shall be furnished in the solution-annealed condition,
with subsequent light cold drawing and straightening permitted. (See Supplementary Requirement S5 if annealing must be
the final operation.) Solution annealing for all grades, except
the H grades (see 4.1.2), N08367 (see 4.1.8), S31254 (see
4.1.5), S32050 (see 4.1.5), S33228 (see 4.1.7), S34565 (see
4.1.6), and S35315 (see 4.1.9), shall consist of (1) heating the
material to a temperature of 1900F [1040C] minimum so that
grain boundary carbides enter into solution, and cooling
rapidly to prevent grain boundary carbide precipitation; or
alternatively7 (2) (except for the columbium and titanium
stabilized grades 309Cb, 310Cb, 316Cb, 316Ti, 321, 347, and
348) immediately following hot working while the temperature
is above 1750F [955C] so that grain boundary carbides are in
solution, cooling rapidly to prevent grain boundary carbide
precipitation. When Supplementary Requirement S2 is invoked, all austenitic grades except S30815 shall pass the
intergranular corrosion test requirements described in S2.
4.1.2 For H grades, the minimum solution annealing temperatures shall be as follows:
4.1.2.1 When hot finished, 1900F [1040C] for Types
304H, 309H, 310H, and 316H; 1925F [1050C] for Types
321H, 347H, and 348H,
4.1.2.2 When cold worked prior to solution annealing,
1900F [1040C] for Types 304H, 309H, 310H, and 316H;
2000F [1095C] for Types 321H, 347H, and 348H.
NOTE 3Solution annealing temperatures above 1950F [1065C] may
impair the resistance to intergranular corrosion after subsequent exposure
to sensitizing conditions in the stabilized grades, Types 321, 321 H, 347,
347 H, 348 and 348 H. When intergranular corrosion is of concern, the
purchaser should specify the corrosion test of S2 (to be conducted on
sensitized specimens). The manufacturer may, if necessary, use a lower
temperature resolution anneal or a stabilization anneal after a high
temperature solution anneal in order to meet corrosion test requirements.
Consideration should be given to the corrosive media before using a
stabilization anneal at less than 1800F [980C], as such a treatment may
not be fully effective for all media.
NOTE 4Grain size requirements for the H grades are described in
Section 7.

C
Except as required for specific alloy type, molybdenum, titanium, nickel, cobalt, tantalum, nitrogen, and copper need not be reported but shall not be present in other
than residual amounts, the intent being to prohibit substitution of one alloy type for another due to absence of control of the above named elements in certain alloys.

5. General Requirements
5.1 In addition to the requirements of this specification, all
requirements of the current editions of Specification A 484/
A 484M shall apply. Failure to comply with the general
requirements of Specification A 484/A 484M constitutes nonconformance with this specification.
6. Chemical Composition
6.1 Chemical composition shall be reported to the purchaser, or his representative, and shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 1.
6.2 When a product analysis is performed or requested by
the purchaser, the tolerance limits as described in Specification
A 484/A 484M apply unless Supplementary Requirement S3 is
invoked.
6.3 Methods and practices relating to chemical analysis
required by this specification shall be in accordance with Test
Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751.

D
Tensile strength 70 ksi [485 MPa] min permitted for extruded shapes.
E
For bars greater than 2 in. [51 mm], a cross section, 60 ksi [415 MPa] min, shall be permitted.
F
For sections over 2 in. [50 mm] in thickness, the minimum tensile strength shall be 106 ksi [730 MPa]; the minimum yield strength shall be 75 ksi [515 MPa].
G
Elongation in 2 in. or 50 mm of 12 % min and reduction of area of 35 % min permitted for cold-finished bars.
H
Elongation in 2 in. of 12 % min and reduction of area of 35 % min permitted for cold-drawn or cold-rolled bars.
I
Annealed bars shall be capable of meeting the tempered condition requirements when heat treated in accordance with 4.4.3.

9. Corrosion Testing
9.1 Austenitic stainless steels solution annealed by the
alternative method (see (2) in 4.1.1) shall be tested and pass the
intergranular corrosion test requirements described in S2.
10. Certification
10.1 The material manufacturers certificate of compliance
certifying that the material was manufactured and tested in
accordance with this specification, together with a report of the
results required by this specification and the purchase order,
shall be furnished at the time of shipment. The certification
shall be positively relatable to the lot of material represented.
11. Product Marking
11.1 In addition to the marking requirements of Specification A 484/A 484M, materials that have been heat treated in
accordance with 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 or have been strain hardened
in accordance with 4.1.3 shall be identified by placement of the
following symbols after the grade designation:
11.1.1 Austenitic Grades:
11.1.1.1 All grades in the annealed conditionA,
11.1.1.2 Strain hardened Type 316, Level 1S1,

SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following may be made requirements when the purchaser specifies them to be applicable.
S3. Product Analysis
S3.1 An analysis shall be made by the manufacturer on a
sample from one bar in each lot as defined in Specification
A 484/A 484M. The analysis shall meet the requirements of
Table 1. In the event of failure, the lot represented shall be
rejected except that, at the option of the manufacturer, each bar
in the lot may be tested for acceptance. Product analysis
tolerance provisions do not apply.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
