The rough forging used for A859 A Cl2 manufactured flanges is the
same as A707L5Cl3-4 (dual forging). For A707L5Cl3-4 Quenching
temperature of 980ºC is allowed.
During May-19, the temperature of Quenching for A707L5Cl3-4
was increased from 920ºC to 980ºC to reach the requirements of
Cl4, but it was not considered that A859 A Cl2 had the
