Minimum allowable Carbon content for ASTM A105 material
Minimum allowable Carbon content for ASTM A105 material
(OP)
ASTM specifies 0.35% as the maximum carbon content for A105 material. No minimum limit has been specified. My client has asked for A105 forgings and also specified that C<0.25%. My question is whether it is possible to fulfill both A105 and C<0.25%?

RE: Minimum allowable Carbon content for ASTM A105 material
Minimum carbon requirements are probably governed by other parameters dictated in ASTM A105.
If carbon content is too low, the required yield strength and/or ductility requirements of the ASTM Spec will not be met ?
Any metalurgists out there with a response ?

European pressure vessel standards restric carbon content to a maximum of 0.25%.
