1、Designation: A541/A541M 05 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Specification forQuenched and Tempered Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgingsfor Pressure Vessel Components1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A541/A541M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original ado
2、ption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification2covers requirements for quenchedand tempered carbon

16、isThe manufacturer shall use the prod-uct analysis provision of Specification A788/A788M to obtaina product analysis from a forging representing each heat ormultiple heat. The permissible variations of Table 1 of Speci-fication A788/A788M do not apply to carbon, phosphorus,silicon, and sulphur for a
17、ll classes, vanadium for Grade 1C, andcolumbium and calcium for Grades 22V and 3VCb. Boron isnot subject to product analysis. The purchaser may also makethis determination in accordance with Specification A788/A788M.5. Heat Treatment for Mechanical Properties5.1 After complete austenitization, the f
18、orgings shall bequenched in a suitable liquid medium by spraying or immer-sion. For Grade 22V forgings, the minimum austenitizingtemperature shall be 1650F 900C. Quenching shall befollowed by tempering at a subcritical temperature and holdingat this temperature for a minimum time of12 h/in. 25 mm of

20、lasses 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3, or 3A, a multiple stageaustenitizing procedure may be used whereby the forging isfirst fully austenitized and liquid quenched, followed byreheating within the intercritical temperature range to partiallyreaustenitize, and again liquid quenched. On completion of theaustenitizi
21、ng/quenching cycles, the forgings shall be temperedat a subcritical temperature as described in 5.1.6. Mechanical Properties6.1 General RequirementsThe forgings shall conform tothe requirements of Table 2. The forgings shall also conform tothe requirements of Table 3 unless either SupplementaryRequi

However, the specimens shall not be nearer to onequenched surface than34 in. 20 mm and to the secondquenched surface than 112 in. 40 mm. When this method oftesting is employed, forgings are usually manufactured i
26、naccordance with a purchaser-approved drawing showing pre-quenched dimensions and the location of mechanical testspecimens.6.2.3 Method 314 T by T, where T is the maximumthickness of the forging as heat treated.
