Designation:A100101(Reapproved 2015)Standard 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.Scope1.1 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 brackets.The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents;therefore,each system must be used inde-pendently of the other.Combining values from the two systemsmay result in non-conformities with the specification.Inch-pound units are applicable for material ordered to this Speci-fication and SI units for material ordered to this Specification.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.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 Guide for Radiographic ExaminationE165 Practice for Liquid Penetrant Examination for GeneralIndustryE709 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 Fusion TechniquesE1447 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 Standards:MSS SP-55 Quality Standard for Steel Castings VisualMethod33.General Conditions for Delivery3.1 Materials furnished to this Specification shall conformto the applicable requirements of Specification A703/A703M,including the supplementary requirements that are indicated onthe purchase order.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 considered include,but are not limited to,the following:4.1.1 A description of the casting by pattern number or afully dimensional and toleranced drawing,4.1.2 ASTM designation and year of issue,4.1.3 Section range and class of steel(see Table 1),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 Dec.15,2015.Published December 2015.Originallyapproved in 1999.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as A1001 01(2010).DOI:10.1520/A1001-01R15.2For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 4.1.4 Definitionofinspectionmethods,extentofexamination,frequency,casting quality zones,and acceptancecriteria(see Section 11).4.1.5 Product marking locations(see Section 15),4.1.6 Certification report options(see Section 14),4.1.7 Options in the specification(see 1.4 and 11.6),and4.1.8 The supplementary requirements desired.5.Test Block Requirements5.1 The supplier shall produce a minimum of one test blockfor each heat.5.2 Test block configuration shall be in accordance with Fig.1.Astandar
