Form

This specification covers a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of sheet, strip, and plate.

Application

These products have been used typically for parts requiring corrosion resistance and high strength up to 600 °F (316 °C), 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

Product covered by this specification is 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 final melting cycle

Unless a specific type is ordered, either type may be supplied.
