ASTM A105/ASTM A350-LF2 Dual grade Material

A105 and A350-LF2 are standard specifications for forged carbon steel piping components. A105 for ambient and higher-temperature service; A350-LF2 for low-temperature service with Charpy V-Notch impact energy testing. Components include flanges, various fittings and valves
  1. Material Composition:
    • ASTM A105: A105 is a specification for carbon steel forgings intended for use in pressure systems at ambient and higher-temperature service conditions. It typically contains carbon (0.35% max), manganese (0.60-1.05%), phosphorus (0.035% max), sulfur (0.040% max), and silicon (0.10-0.35%).
    • ASTM A350 LF2: A350 LF2 is a specification for low-temperature carbon steel forgings for use in low-temperature service applications. It has a similar chemical composition to A105 but with stricter limits on sulfur and phosphorus content. A350 LF2 typically contains carbon (0.30% max), manganese (0.60-1.35%), phosphorus (0.035% max), sulfur (0.040% max), silicon (0.15-0.35%), and copper (0.40% max) as an optional element.
  2. Mechanical Properties:
    • ASTM A105: A105 has specified mechanical properties including tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, which vary depending on the forging class and size. It is suitable for use in moderate-temperature applications.
    • ASTM A350 LF2: A350 LF2 is specifically designed for low-temperature service applications and has enhanced toughness compared to A105. It typically has lower maximum tensile and yield strengths compared to A105 but exhibits superior impact resistance at low temperatures.

Characteristics
  • A105 and A350-LF2 are standard specifications for forged carbon steel piping components. A105 for ambient and higher-temperature service; A350-LF2 for low-temperature service with Charpy V-Notch impact energy testing. Components include flanges, various fittings and valves.
  • Some components may be machined from hot rolled or forged bar, suitably heat treated, up to and including NPS 4. See details in the ASTM designations
Typical Applications
  • A105 allows that for each .01% Carbon below .35, an increase of .06% Manganese is permitted over 1.05 to a maximum of 1.35. This explains the typical analysis above.
Typical Heat Treatment
  • Forging – Commence 1150℃ Max finish 925℃.
  • Annealing – 800℃ to 830℃ Surface cool
    • 870/ 915℃ air Cool
  • Normalizing – 830℃ to 850℃ water quench
  • Hardening – 850℃ to 870℃ oil quench
  • Tempering – 425℃ to 870℃ according to properties
