ASTM specifications reflect a consensus among producers, specifiers, fabricators, and users of steel mill products. The ASTM designation system for metals uses a letter (A for ferrous materials) followed by an arbitrary sequential number. For instance, A548 applies to cold-heading quality carbon steel wire for tapping or sheet metal screws.
This section provides a list of key ASTM standards covering various stainless steel products, including austenitic steel pipes, stainless steel springs, and bars for compressor and turbine airfoils.
