ASTM B599-20

Standard Specification for Nickel-Iron-Chromium-Molybdenum-Niobium Stabilized Alloy Plate, Sheet, and Strip

ABSTRACT
This specification covers nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-columbium stabilized alloy (UNS N08700) plate, sheet, and strip in the solution-annealed condition. Minor cold working such as flattening or temper rolling may be performed after the final solution annealing treatment. The material shall conform to the chemical requirements for nickel, iron, chromium, molybdenum, columbium, carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and copper. The material shall conform to the mechanical property requirements for tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Rockwell hardness. The material shall be free of injurious imperfections and shall correspond to the designated finish for sheet, strip, and plate. Test methods (chemical analysis, tension test, corrosion test) for chemical composition and mechanical properties determination shall be performed in accordance to referenced ASTM documents itemized herein.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-niobium stabilized alloy (UNS N08700)2 plate, sheet, and strip in the solution-annealed condition.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
