Designation:A217/A217M14Endorsed by Manufacturers Standardization Societyof the Valve and Fittings IndustryEndorsed by American Foundrymens SocietyUsed in USDOE-NE StandardsStandard Specification forSteel Castings,Martensitic Stainless and Alloy,forPressure-Containing Parts,Suitable for High-TemperatureService1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A217/A217M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification2covers martensitic stainless steel andalloy steel castings for valves,flanges,fittings,and otherpressure-containing parts(Note 1)intended primarily forhigh-temperature and corrosive service(Note 2).1.2 One grade of martensitic stainless steel and nine gradesof ferritic alloy steel are covered.Selection will depend ondesign and service conditions,mechanical properties,and thehigh-temperature and corrosion-resistant characteristics(Note3).NOTE1Carbon steel castings for pressure-containing parts are cov-ered by Specification A216/A216M.Low alloy quench-and-temperedgrades equivalent to Specification A217/A217M grades may be found inboth Specifications A352/A352M and A487/A487M.NOTE2The grades covered by this specification represent materialsthat are generally suitable for assembly with other castings or wroughtsteel parts by fusion welding.It is not intended to imply that these gradespossess equal degrees of weldability;therefore,it is the responsibility ofthe purchaser to establish for himself a suitable welding technique.Sincethese grades possess varying degrees of suitability for high-temperatureand corrosion-resistant service,it is also the responsibility of the purchaserto determine which grade shall be furnished,due consideration beinggiven to the requirements of the applicable construction codes.NOTE3The committee formulating this specification has includednine grades of materials that are considered to represent basic types offerritic alloy steels suitable for valves,flanges,fittings,and other pressure-containing parts.Additional alloy steels that may better fulfill certain typesof service will be considered for inclusion in this specification by thecommittee as the need becomes apparent.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A216/A216M Specification for Steel Castings,Carbon,Suit-able for Fusion Welding,for High-Temperature ServiceA352/A352M Specification for Steel Castings,Ferritic andMartensitic,for Pressure-Containing Parts,Suitable forLow-Temperature ServiceA487/A487M Specification for Steel Castings Suitable forPressure ServiceA488/A488M Practice for Steel Castings,Welding,Qualifi-cations of Procedures and PersonnelA703/A703M Specification for Steel Castings,GeneralRequirements,for Pressure-Containing PartsA802/A802M Practice for Steel Castings,Surface Accep-tance Standards,Visual ExaminationA985/A985M Specification for Steel Investment CastingsGeneral Requirements,for Pressure-Containing PartsE165 Practice for Liquid Penetrant Examination for GeneralIndustryE709 Guide for Magnetic Particle Testing2.2 AWS Specifications:4A5.5/A5.5M Low Alloy Steel Electrodes for Shielded MetalArc WeldingA5.23/A5.23M Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes and Fluxes forSubmerged Arc WeldingA5.28/A5.28M Low Alloy Steel Electrodes and Rods forGas Shielded Arc Welding1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.18 on Castings.Current edition approved May 1,2014.Published May 2014.Originallyapproved in 1939.Last previous edition approved in 2012 as A217/A217M 12.DOI:10.1520/A0217_A0217M-14.2For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications,see related Specifi-cation SA-217/SA 217M in Section II of that code.3For 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.4Available from American Welding Society,550 NW LeJuene Rd.,Miami,FL33126,http:/www.aws.org.*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 States1 A5.29/A5.29M Low-Alloy Steel Electrodes for Flux CoredArc Welding3.General Conditions for Delivery3.1 Except for investment castings,casti
