1、Designation: A592/A592M 10Standard Specification forHigh-Strength Quenched and Tempered Low-Alloy SteelForged Parts for Pressure Vessels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A592/A592M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the
2、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. Scope*1.1 This specification2covers high-strength quenched andtempered low-alloy steel forged par
3、ts for pressure vessels. Themaximum thickness of forgings under this specification shallbe 112 in. 38 mm for Grade A, and 4 in. 100 mm for GradesE and F.NOTE 1These grades are similar to corresponding grades in Specifi-cation A517/A517M.1.2 Although no provision is made for supplementary re-quiremen
4、ts in this standard, the supplementary requirements inSpecification A788/A788M may be considered by the pur-chaser.1.3 Welding technique is of fundamental importance and itis presupposed that welding procedures will be in accordancewith approved methods for the class of material used.1.4 The values
5、stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.
6、5 Unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specifica-tion designation, the material shall be furnished to the inch-pound units.2.

16、sive segregation.4.4 The finished product shall be a hot-worked forging asdefined by Specification A788/A788M, and shall be forged asclose as practicable to the finished shape and size.5. Heat Treatment5.1 After forging and before reheating, the forgings shall becooled to provide substantially compl
17、ete transformation ofaustenite. Heat treatment for properties shall consist of heatingthe forgings to not less than 1650F 900C, quenching in aliquid medium, and tempering at 1150F 620C minimum,with a holding time of 1 h/in. 1 h/25 mm minimum, but in nocase less than12 h.6. Chemical Requirements Chem
18、ical Requirements6.1 Heat AnalysisThe heat analysis obtained from sam-pling in accordance with Specification A788/A788M shallcomply with Table 1.6.2 Product AnalysisThe purchaser may use the productanalysis provision of Specification A788/A788M to obtain aproduct analysis from a forging representing
19、 each heat ormultiple heat.7. Mechanical Requirements7.1 The forgings as represented by tension tests shallconform to the requirements prescribed in Table 2, and to Table3 for lateral expansion opposite the notch in Charpy V-notchimpact tests. In addition, for the Charpy impact test, the valuesof en
20、ergy absorption in foot-pounds or joules and the fractureappearance in percent shear shall be recorded and reported forinformation.7.2 Sampling:7.2.1 Samples for mechanical test specimens shall be re-moved after the quenching and tempering heat treatment. Thepurchaser shall specify any additional th
21、ermal treatments thatshall be given to the heat treated test specimens. (This isintended to simulate subsequent thermal treatments which maybe performed by the fabricator.)7.2.2 Samples shall be removed so that the test specimenswill have their major axes parallel to the direction of majorworking of
22、 the forging.7.2.3 Test specimens may be machined from a productionforging, or prolongation thereof, or from special forged blockssuitably worked and heat treated with the production forgings.Such special blocks shall be obtained from an ingot, slab, orbillet from the same heat as the forgings they
23、represent andshall be reduced by forging in a manner similar to that for theproducts to be represented. The forging reduction for a specialtest block shall not exceed the minimum forging reduction ofthe forgings represented, and its thickness shall not be less thanthe maximum thickness of the forgin
24、gs represented. If aforging is tested, the tests must represent the maximum sectionthickness in the lot. All test specimens shall be located at themid-plane of the thickness and, the mid length position of thegauge length for tension test specimens, or the notch of theCharpy V-notch impact test spec
25、imens shall be at least T fromany second surface of the production forging or test block,where T equals the maximum heat treated thickness of theforging.7.3 Number of Tests and Retests:7.3.1 Number of Tests, and Test Temperature:7.3.1.1 One room-temperature tension test and one set ofthree Charpy V-
26、notch specimens shall be made to represent themaximum section from each heat in each heat-treatmentcharge. Impact tests shall be conducted at the temperaturespecified on the order, but no higher than 32F 0C.7.3.1.2 One grain size test shall be made from each heat.7.3.2 Retests of Tension SpecimensIf
