I found in letterature (as stanweld also said) that grain refinement for low carbon steel 0.18%C-1%Mn (which is close to A350) can be achieve by double normalizing. Second normalizing is suggested at T° slighly over Ac3 (1500-1525°F). I might try that since ASTM A350 does not prescribe any...
Normalized ASTM 350 LF2 CL1 was tempered at 1100°F for 2 hours. The impact values obtained are half of what normalized only gave, falling below minimum ASTM requirements. I am surprized because I was expecting an improvement. Is it possible that temper embrittlement occured although the cooling...
Yes, you are right. I should have wrote 1100°F, 1125°F, ... The idea is to get Cv -vs- Tempering T° and UTS -vs-Tempering T° relationships because I don't want to fall below UTS min.
Thank you
I need to know what type of Charpy value I could get after normalizing and tempering ASTM A350 LF2 Class1. I tried normalizing only and results are just passing to minimum.
Thank you
