ASTM A 278 Class 40 Heat Treatments

  • For use above 230°C: Stress-relieved in a suitable furnace at a temperature not exceeding 200°C, heating uniformly 565 - 650°C (2 - 12 h). The heating and cooling rates shall be uniform and shall not be more than 250°C/h for castings of 25 mm max. section. For heavier sections the maximum heating and cooling rates in C°/h shall be 205 divided by the maximum section thickness. For use below 230°C: either heat treatment as above either cooled in the mold to 250°C at an average rate of not more than 50°C/h for castings up to 25 mm in section; For heavier sections the maximum cooling rate in degrees C°/h shall be 1250 divided by the maximum section thickness.
