1、Designation: A 447/A447M 93 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Specification forSteel Castings, Chromium-Nickel-Iron Alloy (25-12 Class),for High-Temperature Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 447/A447M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original

2、 adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers iron-base, heat-resisting alloycastings

3、of the 25 % chromium, 12 % nickel class, intended forstructural elements, containers, and supports in electric fur-naces, petroleum still tube supports, and for similar applica-tions up to 2000F 1095C. The purchaser should inform themanufacturer when the service temperatures are to exceed1800F 980C.

4、1.2 In the absence of significant proportions of elementsother than those prescribed in Section 4, the two types of alloyscovered by this specification may in general be distinguished asfollows:1.2.1 Type IAlloys characterized by relatively low limit-ing creep stress at temperatures between 1500 and

5、 2000F 815and 1095C, and relatively high ductility at ordinary tempera-tures after aging for short periods at temperatures between1300 and 1500F 705 and 815C.1.2.2 Type IIAlloys having relatively high limiting creepstress but which may develop low ductility at ordinary tem-peratures when aged for sh

6、ort periods at temperatures between1350 and 1500F 730 and 815C.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system

7、mustbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.2.
