Form
This specification covers a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars, wire, forgings, flash welded rings, extrusions, and stock for forging, flash welded rings, or extruding.
Application
These products have been used typically for parts requiring corrosion resistance and high strength up to 600 °F (316 °C) with good ductility and strength in the transverse direction in large section sizes, but usage is not limited to such applications.
Certain design and processing procedures may cause these products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking; ARP1110 recommends practices to minimize such conditions.
Classification
Products covered by this specification are classified as follows:
Type 1 - Steel multiple melted using vacuum consumable electrode practice during remelting.
Type 2 - Steel multiple melted using electroslag process in the remelting cycle.
Unless a specific type is ordered, either type may be supplied.
