Question: I am requesting a clarification of intent for comments included in Tables A.2 and A.6 In both of these tables there is a statement “these materials shall also be in the solution-annealed and quenched condition.” It is my interpretation that this was a requirement for the base material and was not intended for a fabricated part, e.g., a welded compressor housing. We have to complete some fabrications and believe the required heat treatment will cause cracking and distortion of the part–however, a part must meet the requirements of MR0175/ISO 15156.
Answer:
You are correct. NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-3, Tables A.2 and A.6 apply to base materials only. The requirements for welding are given in NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-3, A.2.3, “Welding of austentitic stainless steels of this materials group.”
This question is in relation to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156-3 Table A.2
