Designation: A 351/A 351M – 00 Used in USDOE-NE Standards
Standard Specification for
Castings, Austenitic, Austenitic-Ferritic (Duplex), for
Pressure-Containing Parts1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 351/A 351M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification2 covers austenitic and austenitic-
ferritic (duplex) steel castings for valves, flanges, fittings, and
other pressure-containing parts (Note 1).
NOTE 1—Carbon steel castings for pressure-containing parts are cov-
ered by Specification A 216/A 216M, and low-alloy steel castings by
Specification A 217/A 217M.
1.2 A number of grades of austenitic and austenitic-ferritic
steel castings are included in this specification. Since these
grades possess varying degrees of suitability for service at high
temperatures or in corrosive environments, it is the responsi-
bility of the purchaser to determine which grade shall be
furnished. Selection will depend on design and service condi-
tions, mechanical properties, and high-temperature or
corrosion-resistant characteristics, or both.
1.2.1 Because of thermal instability, Grades CE20N, CF3A,
CF3MA, and CF8A are not recommended for service at
temperatures above 800°F [425°C].
1.2.2 Because of embrittlement phases, Grade CD4MCu is
not recommended for service at temperatures above 600°F
[316°C].
1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units
are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the
SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each
system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must
be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-
cation.

3. General Conditions for Delivery
3.1 Material furnished to this specification shall conform to
the requirements of Specification A 703/A 703M, including
any supplementary requirements that are indicated in the
purchase order. Failure to comply with the general require-
ments of Specification A 703/A 703M constitutes nonconfor-
mance with this specification. In case of conflict between the
requirements of this specification and Specification A 703/
A 703M, this specification shall prevail.
3.2 The post weld heat treatment requirements of Supple-
mentary Requirement S11 may be specified when austenitic
castings other than HK, HT, or CT15C are to be subjected to
severe corrosive service.

4. Ordering Information
4.1 The inquiry and order should include or indicate the
following:
4.1.1 A description of the casting by pattern number or
drawing (dimensional tolerances shall be included on the
casting drawing),
4.1.2 Grade of steel,
4.1.3 Options in the specification, and
4.1.4 Supplementary requirements desired, including the
standards of acceptance.
5. Process
5.1 The steel shall be made by the electric furnace process
with or without separate refining such as argon-oxygen decar-
burization (AOD).
6. Heat Treatment
6.1 All castings shall receive a heat treatment at the tem-
perature specified in Table 1, followed by a quench in water or
rapid cool by other means except as noted.
NOTE 2—Proper heat treatment of these alloys is usually necessary to
enhance corrosion resistance and in some cases to meet mechanical
properties. Minimum heat-treat temperatures are specified; however, it is
sometimes necessary to heat-treat at higher temperatures, hold for some
minimum time at temperature and then rapidly cool the castings in order
to enhance the corrosion resistance and meet mechanical properties.
7. Chemical Composition
7.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements as to
chemical composition prescribed in Table 2.
8. Tensile Properties
8.1 Steel used for the castings shall conform to the require-
ments as to tensile properties prescribed in Table 3.
9. Quality
9.1 The surface of the casting shall be examined visually
and shall be free of adhering sand, scale, cracks, and hot tears.
Other surface discontinuities shall meet the visual acceptance
standards specified in the order. Visual Method SP 55 or other
visual standards may be used to define acceptable surface
discontinuities and finish. Unacceptable visual surface discon-
tinuities shall be removed and their removal verified by visual
examination of the resultant cavities.
9.2 When additional inspection is desired, Supplementary
Requirements S5, S6, and S10 may be ordered.
9.3 The castings shall not be peened, plugged, or impreg-
nated to stop leaks.
10. Repair by Welding
10.1 Repairs shall be made using procedures and welders
qualified under Practice A 488/A 488M.
10.2 Weld repairs shall be inspected to the same quality
standards that are used to inspect the castings. When castings
are produced with Supplementary Requirement S5 specified,
weld repairs on castings that have leaked on hydrostatic test, or
on castings in which the depth of any cavity prepared for repair
welding exceeds 20 % of the wall thickness or 1 in. [25 mm],
whichever is smaller, or on castings in which any cavity
prepared for welding is greater than approximately 10 in.2[65
cm2], shall be radiographed to the same standards that are used
to inspect the castings. When castings are produced with
Supplementary Requirement S6 specified, weld repairs shall be
inspected by liquid penetrant examination to the same stan-
dards that are used to inspect the castings.
NOTE 3—When austenitic steel castings are to be used in services
where they will be subject to stress corrosion, the purchaser should so
indicate in his order and such castings should be solution-heat treated
following all weld repairs.
