ABSTRACT
This specification deals with the standard requirements for nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys (UNS N06007, N06975, N06985, and N06030) in the form of plate, sheet, and strip for use in general corrosive services. These materials shall undergo hot or cold rolling, solution annealing, and descaling. The plates shall have sheared or cut machined, abrasive cut, powder cut, or inert arc cut edges while the sheet and strip shall have sheared or slit edges. Heat and product analysis shall be performed to determine the chemical composition of the specimens which shall conform to the specified nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, copper, manganese, cobalt, carbon, tungsten, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, columbium, tantalum, and titanium limits. The materials shall also conform to the mechanical property requirements for tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Rockwell hardness.
SCOPE
1.1 The specification2 covers plate, sheet, and strip of nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys (UNS N06007, N06975, N06985, and N06030)3 as shown in Table 1, for use in general corrosive service.  
1.2 The following products are covered under this specification:  
1.2.1 Sheet and Strip—Hot or cold rolled, solution annealed, and descaled unless solution anneal is performed in an atmosphere yielding a bright finish.  
1.2.2 Plate—Hot or cold rolled, solution annealed, and descaled.  
1.3 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.  
1.4 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 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) 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.  
1.5 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.

Overview

ASTM B582-07(2018), issued by ASTM International, provides the standard specification for plate, sheet, and strip products made from nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys. These alloys, designated as UNS N06007, N06975, N06985, and N06030, are intended for use in general corrosive service where high strength, durability, and resistance to a variety of harsh environments are required. The specification outlines requirements for chemical composition, mechanical properties, manufacturing practices, permissible dimensional variations, and product marking. Materials under this standard are essential for industries that demand robust performance under challenging conditions.

Key Topics

• Scope and Alloy Coverage
  ASTM B582 covers flat-rolled products including plate, sheet, and strip in specific nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys (UNS N06007, N06975, N06985, N06030) used for corrosion-resistant applications.
• Manufacturing Requirements
  • Products are supplied in hot or cold rolled, solution annealed, and descaled conditions.
  • Plates must have edges produced by shearing or cutting from machining, abrasive, powder, or inert arc methods.
  • Sheets and strips must have sheared or slit edges.
• Chemical Composition
  • Analyses must confirm that each alloy falls within defined limits for nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, copper, and additional elements such as manganese, cobalt, carbon, tungsten, silicon, and others.
• Mechanical Properties
  • Requires conformance to minimum tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Rockwell hardness values.
• Dimensional Tolerances
  • Guidelines are provided for permissible variations in thickness, width, length, flatness, and squareness, referencing ASTM B906 for further details.
• Marking and Certification
  • Each product must be clearly marked with specification and alloy information, ensuring traceability and compliance.

Applications

The ASTM B582 standard is vital across a variety of industries where resistance to corrosion and mechanical integrity are paramount. Typical applications include:

• Chemical Processing Equipment: Used for vessels, tanks, piping, and linings where aggressive chemicals and high temperatures are present.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Applied in heat exchangers, reactors, and offshore equipment requiring robust corrosion resistance to sulfides, chlorides, and acids.
• Power Generation: Utilized in power plants for components that must endure both high temperature and corrosive steam.
• Pulp and Paper Manufacturing: Incorporated in bleaching plant equipment and chemical digesters due to its ability to withstand harsh chemical processes.
• Other Industrial Uses: Employed wherever general corrosive service is needed, such as wastewater treatment, food processing, and marine environments.

By adhering to ASTM B582, manufacturers and end-users can ensure the quality, durability, and suitability of their nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloy sheet, plate, and strip products for demanding environments.
