SCOPE The materials defined by these specifications are cast stainless steels. The A1 grade is a ferritic stainless steel, while the
3、 A2 grade is an austenitic stainless steel. 2. APPLICATION These specifications were released originally for exhaust manifold applications. The A1 grade is suitable for service temperatures up to 870 C, and the A2 grade for service temperatures up to 980 C. Manifolds made to the A1 grade may be heat
4、 treated, if required, to attain thermalstability and required microstructural and mechanical properties. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111
