ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code An International Code Section II - Part A Ferrous Material Specifications / American Society of Mechanical Engineers / 2025

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. The austenitizing temperature shall be 840°C (1540°F) minimum to 895°C (1640°F) maximum. 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. The minimum tempering temperature shall be 595°C (1100°F).
