Can A333 always be used to replace A106?

Can A333 always be used to replace A106?

Can A333 always be used to replace A106?

(OP)
Is it always safe to assume that A333/LF2 can be used as a substitute for A106/A105 and is there any difference in how they are manufactured or does the manufacturer simply take a batch of A106 and charpy test it and if it passes it can now be labelled A333?   

RE: Can A333 always be used to replace A106?

No, do not assume. You need to obtain a copy of both ASTM Specifications and compare them regarding metling practice, HT, properties. inspection and end use.

RE: Can A333 always be used to replace A106?

Only real difference that matters is A333/LF2 is impact test to a lower temperature.
In reality its the same material.
Never substitute without owners approval though... always saves a NCR.

RE: Can A333 always be used to replace A106?

At temperatures above 650F to 700F, the fine grain material has lowered creep strength and at temperatures above 750 F they are more prone to graphitization than A-106/A-105.
