ASTM A324-08(2019)

Standard Specification for Ferrotitanium

ABSTRACT
This specification covers four grades of ferrotitanium designated as A,B,C and D. The grades which are available in different sizes shall conform to the required chemical composition for titanium, carbon, silicon, and aluminum and for supplementary elements such as manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper, cobalt, vanadium, lead, arsenic, bismuth, tin, zinc, zirconium, boron, and nitrogen.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers four grades of ferrotitanium, designated A, B, C, and D.  
1.2 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.
