ASTM Standard List: Stainless Steels

Abstract:

ASTM specifications represent a consensus among producers, specifiers, fabricators, and users of steel mill products. ASTM’s designation system for metals consists of a letter (A for ferrous materials) followed by an arbitrary sequentially assigned number. These designations often apply to specific products, for example A548 is applicable to cold-heading quality carbon steel wire for tapping or sheet metal screws.

This article contains a list of standards that covers among other things:

  • Centrifugally Cast Austenitic Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service
  • Various stainless steels specifically designed for use as springs
  • Stainless Steel Bars for Compressor and Turbine Airfoils

For more information on the ASTM designation system see our related article:
