ASTM Standard List: Castings
Abstract
This comprehensive guide details the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards related to metal castings, with a particular focus on ferrous materials. The article provides a detailed listing of current and historical standards covering various types of castings, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and iron castings for different applications. It serves as a reference document for engineers, manufacturers, and quality control professionals working with metal castings, highlighting both active standards and those that have been withdrawn or replaced.
Introduction
ASTM specifications represent a consensus among producers, specifiers, fabricators, and users of steel mill products. The designation system consists of a letter (A for ferrous materials) followed by a sequentially assigned number. These designations are product-specific, ensuring precise identification and application of standards across the industry.
