ASME SA-508 Grade 3 Class 1 Heat Treatments

  • The forgings shall be heated to a temperature which produces an austenitic structure and then quenched in a suitable liquid medium by spraying or immersion. Quenching shall be followed by tempering at a subcritical temperature and holding at this temperature for a minimum time of one-half hour per 25.4 mm of maximum section thickness. Тhe minimum tempering temperature shall be 650°C (1200°F). When required, the minimum tempering temperature shall be 635°C (1175°F) and the simulated post weld heat treatment temperature shall not exceed 620°C (1150°F).
