ASME SA-193 Grade B6X Heat Treatments


  • Heat treatment is performed after heading or threading. The minimum tempering temperature shall be 593°C (1100°F). Material that is subsequently cold drawn for dimensional control shall be stress-relieved after cold drawing. The minimum stress relief temperature shall be 55°C (100°F) below the tempering temperature. Tests for mechanical properties shall be performed after stress relieving.
