[MW:27850] RE: 27842] What is the tempering temperature followed to meet mechanical properties of CA15 castings-reg

I did not get the responses to my earlier queries.

Please find the recommended or desirable properties for this steel as per the data sheets from https://www.sfsa.org. The ductility of this steel at the asked hardness values of 250-300 BHN could be very poor if the hardness is close to 300 BHN. Hence a balance between hardness and ductility(%EL) is always desired.

Take a look at the data sheet and use this at your discretion.

Important texts are highlighted for guidance.

Thanks.

************************************************************************************************************************************************

What's the tempering cycle being proposed by the vendor?

What's the component.

Hardness in the vicinity of 270 HB is not unusual for this material. In fact NACE MR 0175 mandates much lower hardness.

In fact the chemical composition is also essential, especially "C".

Could you please post those details.

Thanks.

Subject: [MW:27842] What is the tempering temperature followed to meet mechanical properties of CA15 castings-reg

Dear friends,

We have been procuring ASTM A 217-CA15 castings form foundries. While checking raw material certificate the hardness and mechanical values are not meeting the ASTM A 217 –CA15 standard, our requirement of hardness = 250-300 BHN, T.S = 620-795MPa, YS=450MPa minimum, while enquiring the foundry they told that 260-270 HBW will be achieved but TS & YS could not achieved. Can you help us what is the tempering temperature to be followed to achieve the required hardness & mechanical properties? Kindly do the needful.

Regards,

Sankaran.SP

Re: [MW:34105] SA266 GR4N 4 Cycle SPWHT

Hi, You are correct, Minimum refers to the one cycle for which this part will expose until final work shop PWHT. hence mill test certificate shall include this. Max. SPWHT, refers to additional cycles of heat treatment that are reserved for future repairs during equipment lifetime. Again, these simulated no. Of cycles shall be specified in MTC. The idea is we need to make sure that steel mechanical properties are not compromised upon exposure to multiple repairs (i e 4 cycles in your case). One could say, if steel is subjected to 4 cycles and is ok, then it should by defacto be good for one cycle, yet, this is wrong assumption cause mechanical problems and microstructure of materials varies accordingly based on no. Of cycles for which material will expose. This is apparent in alloy steel and especially for impact test values as an example. In your case, this forged CS with properties before PWHT can be understood to be " as forged" condition (i.e. Wit...

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change. Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
