ASTM A355-1989(2006) Standard Specification for Steel Bars Alloys for Nitriding《掺氮用合金钢棒》.pdf

1、Designation: A 355 89 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Specification forSteel Bars, Alloys, for Nitriding1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 355; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision

2、. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers alloy steel bars, suitable forsurface hardening by nitriding, designated as Classes A, B, C,and D. Class

3、 A and Class D bars are general-purpose bars;Class B bars are free-machining bars; Class C bars contain3.50 % nickel and are characterized by higher core strength.All classes are normally furnished in the hot-rolled, quenched,and tempered condition. However, centerless-ground or turnedbars, in any o

4、f the classes, may be specified by the purchaser.Also, as-rolled, annealed, or unannealed bars suitable forforging may be purchased to this specification. When as-rolled,annealed, or unannealed bars are furnished, Sections 6, 10, and11 are not applicable.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are

5、 to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.2.

9、pering6.1 The bars shall be given a liquid quench followed by atempering treatment at a temperature not lower than 600C(1112F) to produce a fine spheroidized structure.7. Microstructure7.1 When specified the microstructure resulting from theheat treatment specified in Section 6 shall not show free f

Otherpercentages of free ferrite may be supplied by agreementbetween the manufacturer and the purchaser.7.2 The amount of free ferrite shall be determined bymetallographic examination under suitable magnification of aspecimen from the bars in t

11、he quenched and tempered condi-tion. The number and location of tests and details of the basisof establishing free ferrite shall be as agreed upon between themanufacturer and the purchaser.8. Decarburization8.1 The maximum depth of total and partial decarburizationof hot-rolled bars and heat-treated

12、 bars shall not exceed theamounts prescribed in Table 2.8.2 Centerless-ground or turned bars shall be free from totaland partial decarburization.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys, and is the direct responsibility of Subcom
