Designation:A100118Standard Specification forHigh-Strength Steel Castings in Heavy Sections1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A1001;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers cast alloy steels in the normal-ized and tempered or quenched and tempered condition,insection sizes through 37 in.(940 mm),suitable for high-straingradient conditions such as those encountered in hooks,shackles,support frames,and other lifting devices.The classesof steel in this specification are weldable only with qualifiedprocedures.1.2 Section range and class selection will depend on designand service conditions.Users should note that this specificationcontemplates mechanical property gradients.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units or SI units are tobe regarded separately as standard.Within the text,the SI unitsare shown in parentheses.The values stated in each system arenot exact equivalents;therefore,each system must be usedindependently of the other.Combining values from the twosystems may result in nonconformance with the specification.Inch-pound units are applicable for material ordered to thisspecification and SI units for material ordered to this specifi-cation.1.4 If,by agreement,castings are to be supplied in apartially completed condition,that is,all of the provisions ofthe product specification have not been filled,then the materialmarking(see Section 15)and certification(see Section 14)areto reflect the extent to which the product specification require-ments have been met.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testingof Steel ProductsA609/A609M Practice for Castings,Carbon,Low-Alloy,and Martensitic Stainless Steel,Ultrasonic ExaminationThereofA703/A703M Specification for Steel Castings,GeneralRequirements,for Pressure-Containing PartsE94/E94M Guide for Radiographic Examination Using In-dustrial Radiographic FilmE165/E165M Practice for Liquid Penetrant Examination forGeneral IndustryE709 Guide for Magnetic Particle TestingE1019 Test Methods for Determination of Carbon,Sulfur,Nitrogen,and Oxygen in Steel,Iron,Nickel,and CobaltAlloys by Various Combustion and Inert Gas FusionTechniquesE1447 Test Method for Determination of Hydrogen in Tita-nium and Titanium Alloys by Inert Gas Fusion ThermalConductivity/Infrared Detection MethodE1806 Practice for Sampling Steel and Iron for Determina-tion of Chemical Composition2.2 Manufacturers Standardization of the Value and FittingsIndustry Standard:3MSS SP-55 Quality Standard for Steel CastingsVisualMethod3.General Conditions for Delivery3.1 Materials furnished to this specification shall conform tothe applicable requirements of Specification A703/A703M,including the supplementary requirements that are indicated onthe purchase order.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 onSteel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.18 on Castings.Current edition approved Sept.1,2018.Published September 2018.Originallyapproved in 1999.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as A1001 01(2015).DOI:10.1520/A1001-18.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and FittingsIndustry(MSS),127 Park St.,NE,Vienna,VA 22180-4602.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 3.2 Terminology and test methods shall be in accordancewith Test Methods and Definitions A370.3.3 In the case of conflict between requirements of thisspecification and referenced specifications,the former shallprevail.4.Ordering Information4.1 It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to specifyall requirements that are necessary for material ordered underthis specification.Such requirements to be considere
