ASTM A957/A957M : 09

Standard Specification for Investment Castings, Steel and Alloy, Common Requirements, for General Industrial Use

Standard Details

1.1 This specification covers a group of requirements that are mandatory for castings produced by the investment casting process to meet the metallurgical requirements of the following steel casting specifications issued by ASTM.

ASTM Designation
Title of Specification
A 27/A 27MSteel Castings, Carbon, for General Application
A 148/A 148MSteel Castings, High-Strength, for Structural Purposes
A 297/A 297MSteel Castings, Iron-Chromium and Iron-Chromium-Nickel, Heat-Resistant, for General Application
A 447/A 447M Steel Castings, Chromium-Nickel-Iron Alloy (25-12 Class), for High-Temperature Service
A 494/A 494MCastings, Nickel and Nickel Alloy
A 560/A 560MCastings, Chromium-Nickel Alloy
A 732/A 732MCastings, Investment, Carbon and Low Alloy Steel for General Application, and Cobalt Alloy for High Strength at Elevated Temperatures
A 743/A 743MCastings, Iron-Chromium, Iron-Chromium-Nickel, Corrosion-Resistant, for General Application
A 744/A 744MCastings, Iron-Chromium-Nickel, Corrosion Resistant, for Severe Service
A 747/A 747MSteel Castings, Stainless, Precipitation Hardening
A 890/A 890MCastings, Iron-Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum Corrosion-Resistant, Duplex (Austenitic/Ferritic) for General Application
A 915/A 915MSteel Castings, Carbon and Alloy, Chemical Requirements Similar to Standard Wrought Grades

1.2 This specification also covers a group of supplementary requirements that may be applied to the above specifications as indicated therein. These are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired and apply only when specified individually by the purchaser in the order.

1.3 When investment castings are ordered, the requirements stated in this specification form an integral part of the material specification. In cases of conflict, the requirements of this specification shall take precedence over the individual material specification requirements.

1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
