ASTM A479 Specification

Forgings, Fasteners, Boltings, Stud Bolts, Screws, Nuts

Scope

ASTM A479 Specification covers high nickel, chromium, austenitic corrosion, and heat-resisting alloy materials 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.

  • A See Section 7.
  • B Reduction of area does not apply on flat bars 3⁄16 in. [4.80 mm] and under in thickness, as this determination is not generally made in this product size.
  • C The material shall be capable of meeting the required reduction of area where listed, but actual measurement and reporting of the reduction of area are not required unless specified in the purchase order.
  • D Cold-finished shapes require only 15 %, minimum, elongation.
  • E American Welding Society designation.
  • F Tensile strength 70 ksi [485 MPa] minimum permitted for extruded shapes.
  • G For bars greater than 2 in. [51 mm], a cross section, 60 ksi [415 MPa] minimum, shall be permitted.
  • H Elongation in 2 in. or 50 mm of 12 % minimum and reduction of area of 35 % minimum permitted for cold-finished bars.
  • I Elongation in 2 in. of 12 % minimum and reduction of area of 35 % minimum permitted for cold-drawn or cold-rolled bars.
  • J Annealed bars shall be capable of meeting the tempered condition requirements when heat treated.
