Notes:
* ASTM A27 Class 1 requiring post-weld heat treatment on all welds is standard from AMERICAN CENTRIFUGAL. Class 2,
which does not require post-weld heat treatment of welds, is not available.
** Impacts (Ft.-Lbs.) to be mutually agreed upon.
+See specification for maximum Brinell hardness after final heat treatment.
The latest revision of a specification shall take precedence in which case the chemical composition may vary from that shown
above.
See the Annual Book of AST M Standards, Section 1, Volume 01.01 and 01.02 for complete
complete details of the
specifications.
AMERICAN also produces material to other ASTM specifications such as A356.
