ABS AB/ME Heat Treatments
- Plates over 50.8 mm in thickness are to be treated either by normalizing or heating uniformly for hot forming. If the required treatment is to be obtained in conjunction with the hot-forming operation, the temperature to which the plates are heated for hot forming is to be equivalent to and is not to significantly exceed the normalizing temperature.
Stress relieving: When required, test specimens are to be stress-relieved by gradually and uniformly heating them to 590-650°C (1100-1200°F), holding at temperature for at least 1 h/25 mm thickness and cooling in still atmosphere to a temperature not exceeding 315°C (600°F). If applicable, in the case of plates which are to be heat-treated and subsequently stress-relieved, the test specimens for such plates are to, before testing, be stress-relieved following the heat treatment.
