ASTM B649 Low Carbon NiFeCrMoCu Alloy (UNS N08904) and Low Carbon NiFeCrMoCuN Alloy (UNS N08925, UNS N08031 and UNS N08926) and Low Carbon CrNiFeN Alloy (UNS R20033) Bars and Wires

ASTM B649 is a standard specification for bars and wires for low carbon alloys, covering a wide range of nickel-based and chromium-nickel-based alloy materials. Here are some details and key points about ASTM B649 low carbon alloys:

1. Overview of the standard

Standard number: ASTM B649

Second, the main requirements

chemical composition

Alloying elements: The standard specifies in detail the content range of various elements (e.g., nickel, iron, chromium, molybdenum, copper, nitrogen, etc.) in the alloy to ensure that the alloy has specific corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

Impurity control: The content of harmful impurity elements (such as sulfur, phosphorus, etc.) in the alloy is also strictly limited to improve the purity and performance stability of the alloy.

Mechanical and physical properties

Tensile Strength: The minimum tensile strength of the alloy in a tensile test is specified to ensure that the material can withstand sufficient tensile force during use.

Yield Strength: Specifies the yield strength of the alloy, i.e., the minimum stress value at which the material begins to undergo plastic deformation.

Elongation: reflects the plastic deformation capacity of the alloy, and the minimum elongation of the alloy is usually specified in the standard.

Hardness: In some cases, the standard may impose requirements on the hardness of the alloy to evaluate its wear resistance and scratch resistance.

Density: The density of an alloy is one of its fundamental physical properties, and the standard may contain a requirement for density or provide a reference value.

Thermal conductivity: For alloys that need to be used in high-temperature environments, the standard may specify a range of thermal conductivity to evaluate their thermal conductivity properties.

Dimensional tolerances and surface quality

Dimensional tolerance: The tolerance range of dimensional parameters such as diameter, length, and bending of alloy bars and wires is specified to ensure that the material can meet the accuracy requirements during processing and use.

The surface quality of the alloy material is specified for the surface finish, cracks, inclusions and other defects to ensure that the surface quality of the material meets the requirements of use.

Third, the application field

The low-carbon alloys specified in the ASTM B649 standard are widely used in a variety of applications due to their unique combination of properties, including but not limited to:

Petrochemical: used to manufacture corrosion-resistant pipes, valves, pumps and other components.

Marine engineering: used in the manufacture of seawater desalination equipment, offshore platform structures, etc.

Energy: It is used in the manufacture of components in high-temperature and high-pressure environments in the fields of nuclear energy and thermal power generation.

Chemical: used in the manufacture of various chemical equipment and containers.

Aerospace: Plays a role in high-performance applications such as aero engines and spacecraft.

4. Precautions

When using the ASTM B649 standard, attention should be paid to its latest version and revisions to ensure compliance with current technical requirements and industrial practices.

The procurement, processing and use of materials should strictly follow the technical requirements specified in the standard to ensure the quality and performance of the product.

In summary, ASTM B649 is an important standard specification for low-carbon alloy rods and wires, covering a variety of nickel-based and chromium-nickel-based alloy materials, and is widely used in many industrial fields.Huanickel related products strictly implement this standard.
