This specification tackles standards for pressure consolidated powder metallurgy iron-nickel-chromium
-molybdenum and nickel-chromium-moly
bdenum-columbium pipe flanges, fittings, valves, and parts intended for general corrosion or heat-resisting service. Compacts shall be manufactured by placing a single powder blend into a can, evacuating the can, and sealing it. The can material shall then be selected to ensure that it has no deleterious effect on the final product. The specimen shall be heated and placed under sufficient pressure for a sufficient period of time to ensure that the final consolidated part is fully dense. The powder shall be produced by vacuum melting followed by gas atomization. The heats shall be thoroughly mixed to ensure homogeneity when powder from more than one heat is used to make a blend. The material shall have the chemical compositions of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, iron, cobalt, columbium, aluminum, titanium, nitrogen, and copper. Hydrostatic test shall be conducted and the specimen must show no leaks. The density test shall be performed using sample suspended from a scale and weighed in air and water using Archimede's principle. Check Analysis shall be wholly the responsibility of the purchaser. The parts of the specimen shall be uniform in quality and condition, and shall be free from injurious imperfections.
