Process 6.1 Alloys shall be melted by the electric Furnace process ‘with or without separate refining, such as argon-oxygen- decarburization (AOD). 7. Heat Treatment 7.1 Castings shall be heat treated in accordance with the requirements in Table 1 Nom 2—Proper heat teatment of these alloys is usually necessary to enhance corrosion resistance and in some caves to meet mechanical properties. Minimum heat-teat temperatures ae specified: however, it is Sometimes necessary to heat teat at higher temperatures, hold for some ‘minimam tie at temperatare and then rapidly cool the castings in onder twenhance the comesion resistance and meet mechanical properties. 8, Chemical Requirements 8.1 ‘The materials shall conform with the chemical requi ments prescribed in Table 2. 9. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance 9.1 Machined welding ends shall be suitably protected against damage during shipping. 10. Repair by Welding, 10.1 The composition of the deposited weld metal shall be similar to that of the casting except in grade CK3MCuN. In the ‘ease of Grade CK3MCUN, the composition of the deposited metal shall be similar to that of AWS AS.14 ER NiCrMo-3 (UNS NO6625) or AWS A5.11 E NiCrMo-3 (UNS W 86112) ‘when postweld heat treatment is not required, and the compo- sition of the deposited metal shall be ether similar to that ofthe bbase metal or similar to that of AWS AS.14 ER NiCrMo-3 ot AWS AS.I E NiCrMo-3 when postweld heat treatment is required. 10.1.1 The composition ofthe deposited weld metal shall be similar to that of the casting except in grade CN3MN. In the cease of grade CN3MN, the composition of the deposited weld ‘metal shall be similar to that of AWS AS.14 ER NiCrMo-3 or ER NiCrMo-4 or ER NiCrMo-10, or the composition of the deposited weld metal shall be similar to that of AWS AS.11 E. NiCiMo-3 or E NiCrMo-4 or E NiCrMo-10 when postweld beat treatment is or is not required. 10.2 Weld repairs shall be considered major in the case of a casting that has leaked on hydrostatic test or when the depth of. the cavity after preparation for repair exceeds 20% of the actual wall thickness, or 1 in. (25 mm}, whichever is smaller, ‘or when the extent of the cavity exceeds approximately 10 in2[65 cm], All other weld repairs shall be considered minor. ‘Major and minor weld repairs shall be subject to the same quality standards as are used to inspect the castings. When methods involving high temperatures are used in the removal of discontinuities, castings shall be preheated to 50°F (10°C) 10.3 Castings shall be postweld heat treated in accordance with Table 1 after all major weld repairs and after those minor weld repairs involving either of the following conditions: (J) welding on a wetted surface, or (2) welding that heats a wetted surface to or above 800°F [425°C]. [Nort 3The maximum wetted surface temperature of 80°F [425°C] permitted on minor weld repairs without subsequent heat eatment for the lustenitic grades is necessary (0 aVokd sensization to intergranular corrosion. Minor repairs of tis type can be made by using a low beat ‘input (example, 50 000 Win.) welding process or by cooling wetted surfaces with water doring welding, or both.

Rejection and Rehearing 11.1 Samples that represent rejected material shall be pre- served for two weeks from the date of transmission of the rejection report. In case of dissatisfaction with the results ofthe tests, the manufacturer may make claim for a rehearing within that time. 12, Product Marking 12.1 Castings shall be marked for material identification with the ASTM specification number (A 744/A 744M) and. grade symbol, that is, CF8, CN7M, ete. In addition, the ‘manufacturer's name or identification mark and the pattern ‘number shall be cast or stamped using low-stress stamps on all castings. Small-size castings may be such that marking must be limited consistent with the available area. The marking of heat ‘numbers on individual castings shall be agreed upon by the TABLE 1_Hoat Treatment Requirements ate ‘Gra 2600), CGantssn0n,CraM 2000, (GF8C (92710), CFS 82200), CFM 20280), ‘eat Toa Tato 1800°F [080°C minum, ha slit ie o hea casing wo pera usnch war (rapid eal by ater means "eat fo 2050 (112°C minimum, old frst ie o hoa casing 1 temporal, quench water eto 2100 [180°C] mn, 2150° [1190] mae, hod for auion ne (2h min) to eat eating Heat to 2100 (180°C minimum ol for suficant une hast casing temperate, quench in water ‘cam c82000}* ‘on oscar) ‘rapid cool by oer ears, Cons (04660) Temperate, and quench te ‘oN sess 1 coal apy by ther mean. coxsow (53258) Heat to 210°F (160°C) minimum hal for sficont te to hea casing wo tempertr, arch in wae (aid cel y hr moan “For cpu lenaie ster, Gxt, and coroson vesitance, to sion nealing lemporatires for Grades GFON, GOB, and GPM aod be i encaes of 800 080°.
