ASTM Standard List: Iron, Nickel Alloy/Heat Resistant Nickel Alloys and High Silicon Steels

ASTM specifications represent a consensus among producers, specifiers, fabricators, and users of steel mill products. ASTM’s designation system for metals consists of a letter (A for ferrous materials) followed by an arbitrary sequentially assigned number. These designations often apply to specific products, for example A548 is applicable to cold-heading quality carbon steel wire for tapping or sheet metal screws.

This article contains a list of standards that covers among other things:

  • Iron bars, plates and tubing
  • Semi and fully processed electrical high silicon steels
  • Nickel alloys for specific applications such as pressure vessel plating

 

For more information on the ASTM designation system see our related article:
