General Requirements for Delivery 8. Mechanical Properties

5.1 Material furnished under this specication shall conform to the applicable requirements of the current edition of Specication A 20/A 20M.

Materials and Manufacture

6.1 Process: 6.1.1 The steel shall be made by the open-hearth, electric-furnace (with separate degassing and rening optional), or basic-oxygen processes, or by secondary processes whereby steel made from these primary processes is remelted using electroslag remelting or vacuum-arc remelting processes. 6.1.2 The alloy-cladding metal may be metallurgically bonded to the base metal by any method that will produce a clad steel which will conform to the requirements of this specication. 6.2 Heat Treatment: 6.2.1 Unless otherwise specied or agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer, all austenitic stainless steel clad plates shall be given a heat treatment consisting of heating to the proper temperature for the solution of the chromium carbides in the cladding followed by individual air cooling. For base metals of air-hardening low-alloy steels the above heat treatment shall be followed by a tempering treatment. 6.2.2 When plates over 1 in. (25.4 mm) in thickness are to be cold formed, the purchaser may specify that such plates be heat treated for grain renement of the base metal.

8.1 Plate: 8.1.1 Tensile Requirements: 8.1.1.1 The tensile properties shall be determined by a tension test of the composite plate for clad plates that meet all of the following conditions. However, if the cladding is for corrosion allowance only, the cladding may be removed prior to tensile testing. The tensile properties thus determined shall be not less than the minimum and not more than 5000 psi (35 MPa) over the maximum prescribed in the specication for the base steel used. All other tensile test requirements of the specication for the base steel shall be met. (a) The composite gage is less than or equal to 112 in. (b) The specied minimum tensile strength of the base steel is less than or equal to 70 000 psi (485 MPa). (c) The specied minimum yield strength of the base steel is less than or equal to 40 000 psi (275 MPa). 8.1.1.2 The tensile properties shall be determined by a tension test of the base steel only for clad plates that meet one of the following conditions. The tensile properties thus determined shall meet all of the tensile test requirements for the base steel. (a) The composite gage is greater than 112 in. (b) The specied minimum tensile strength of the base steel is greater than 70 000 psi (485 MPa). (c) The specied minimum yield strength of the base steel is greater than 40 000 psi (275 MPa). 8.1.2 Ductility Two bend tests of the composite plate shall be made, one with the alloy cladding in tension and the other with the alloy cladding in compression to determine the ductility of the materials. On double-clad plates, the bend tests shall be made so that one specimen represents the alloy cladding in tension on one side while the other specimen represents the alloy cladding in tension on the opposite side. Bend tests shall be made in accordance with the requirements prescribed in the specication for the base metal.

8.1.3 Shear Strength When required by the purchaser, the minimum shear strength the alloy cladding and base metals shall be 20 000 psi (140 MPa). The shear test, when specied, shall be made in the manner indicated in Fig. 1. 8.1.4 Bond Strength As an alternative to the shear strength test provided in 8.1.3 and when required by the purchaser, three bend tests shall be made with the alloy cladding in compression to determine the quality of the bond. These bend tests shall be made in accordance with the specications for the cladding metal. At least two of the three tests shall show not more than 50% separation on both edges of the bent portion. Greater separation shall be cause for rejection. 8.2 Sheet and Strip: 8.2.1 The bend test specimens of sheet and strip shall stand being bent cold through an angle of 180 without cracking on the outside of the bent portion. The bend test specimens shall be bent around a pin the diameter of which is equal to the thickness of the material. The axis of the bend shall be transverse to the direction of rolling. 8.2.2 The bond between the alloy cladding and the base metal shall be ascertained by observation of the behavior of the composite sheet or strip when sheared with the alloy side down. 8.3 Methods and practices relating to mechanical testing required by this specication shall be in accordance with Test Methods and Denitions A 370.

the base metal plus 40% of the cladding thickness from the bonded side, not to exceed 116 in. (1.598 mm). The material shall be cleaned and sufcient millings taken to represent the full cross-section of the remainder. If there is insufcient cladding thickness available to spectrographically expose on the center line of the cladding without contamination, 50% of the cladding shall be removed and the sample exposed on this surface. 9.3 The results of the product analysis shall conform to the requirements of Section 7 of Specication A 480/A 480M. 9.4 Methods and practices relating the chemical analysis required by this specication shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Denitions A 751.

Product Analysis 12. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance 12.1 The material shall be free of injurious defects, shall have a workmanlike appearance, and shall conform to the designated nish. 12.2 Plate alloy surfaces shall be sand-blasted, pickled, or blast-cleaned and pickled. 12.3 The nish for the alloy surfaces of sheets and strips shall be as specied in Specication A 240/A 240 M.

9.1 Product analysis may be required on nished product. Chemical analysis may be accomplished by wet chemical or instrumental procedures. If wet chemical procedures are used, millings may be taken only when the composite plate thickness is sufcient to permit obtaining millings without danger of contamination from the adjacent layer. If spectrometric procedures are used, the sample shall be exposed on the center line of the cladding when where there is sufcient cladding thickness available so that there is no contamination from the adjacent base metal. 9.2 If product analysis is specied by the purchaser, it shall be made on a sample taken from the nished product or a broken test specimen. For wet chemical analysis, in order to avoid contamination by the base plate metal, millings of cladding samples shall be taken from the test coupon by removal and discard of all

On double-clad sheet or strip produced in coil form, one bend test shall be made from each end of the coil. 14.2.2 In the case of single-clad sheet or strip produced in discrete cut lengths, four bend tests shall be made on each 100 or less pieces of the same heat and nominal thickness, provided the 100 pieces weigh not less than 1000 lbs. In the event that 100 pieces weigh less than 1000 lbs, four bend tests shall be made from each 1000 lbs or less of the same heat and nominal thickness. On double-clad sheet or strip, two bend tests shall be made on each lot as dened in the two preceding sentences. 14.2.3 On double-clad materials, the bend tests shall be made so that one specimen will represent the alloy-cladding metal in tension on one side while the other specimen will represent the alloy-cladding metal in tension on the opposite side.
