1. Scope*
1.1 This specification2 covers hot- and cold-finished bars of
stainless steel, including rounds, squares, and hexagons, and
hot-rolled or extruded shapes such as angles, tees, and channels
for use in boiler and pressure vessel construction.2
NOTE 1There are standards covering high nickel, chromium, austenitic corrosion, and heat-resisting alloy materials. These standards are
under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee B02.07 and may be found
in Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 02.04.

This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,
Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee
A01.17 on Flat-Rolled and Wrought Stainless Steel.
Current edition approved April 10, 2003. Published May 2003. Originally
approved in 1962. Last previous edition approved in 2002 as A 479/A 479M 02.

ened condition is achieved by solution annealing followed by
cold working sufficient to develop the required mechanical
properties.
4.1.5 Solution annealing of S31254, S32050, and S32654
shall consist of heating the material to a temperature of 2100F
[1150C] minimum for an appropriate time, followed by water
quenching or rapidly cooling by other means.
4.1.6 Solution annealing of S34565 shall consist of heating
the material in the range of temperature from 2050F [1120C]
to 2140F [1170C] for an appropriate time, followed by water
quenching or rapidly cooling by other means.
4.1.7 Solution annealing of S33228 shall consist of heating
the material in the temperature range 2050 to 2160F [1120 to
1180C] for an appropriate time, followed by water quenching
or rapid cooling by other means.
4.1.8 Solution annealing of N08367 shall consist of heating
the material to a temperature of 2025F [1105C] minimum for
an appropriate time, followed by water quenching or rapidly
cooling by other means.
4.1.9 Solution annealing of S35315 shall consist of heating
the material to a temperature of 2100F [1150C] minimum for
an appropriate time, followed by water quenching or rapidly
cooling by other means.
4.2 Austenitic-Ferritic Grades:
4.2.1 S31803, S32205, and S32550 shall be furnished in the
annealed condition with subsequent straightening permitted.
The annealing treatment of S31803 and S32550 shall consist of
heating the material to a temperature of 1900F [1040C]
minimum for an appropriate time followed by water quenching
or rapid cooling by other means. The annealing treatment for
S32205 shall consist of heating the material to a temperature of
1900F [1040C] minimum for an appropriate time, followed
by water quenching.
4.2.2 S32101 shall be annealed by heating the material to a
temperature of 1870F [1020C] minimum for an appropriate
time followed by water quenching or rapid cooling by other
means.
4.2.3 S32950 shall be annealed by heating the material to a
temperature of 1825F [995C] to 1875F [1025C] for an
appropriate time, followed by water quenching or rapid cooling
by other means.
4.2.4 S32750 shall be annealed by heating the material to a
temperature of 1880F [1025C] to 2060F [1125C] for an
appropriate time, followed by water quenching or rapid cooling
by other means. Subsequent straightening shall be permitted.
4.2.5 S32760 shall be annealed by heating the material to a
temperature of 2010F [1100C] to 2085F [1140C] for an
appropriate time, followed by water quenching or rapid cooling
by other means.
4.2.6 UNS S32906 shall be annealed by heating the material
to a temperature of 1900F (1040C) to 1980F (1080C) for
an appropriate time followed by rapid cooling in air or water.
Subsequent straightening shall be permitted.
4.2.7 S39277 shall be annealed by heating the material to
1940F [1060C] to 2060F [1125C] for an appropriate time,
followed by water quenching or rapid cooling by other means.
Subsequent straightening shall be permitted.

4.3 Ferritic GradesFerritic grades shall be annealed to
meet the requirements of Table 2.
4.4 Martensitic Grades:
4.4.1 All grades of martensitic steels shall be supplied in
either the annealed condition or in the tempered condition as
specified by the purchaser (see 3.1.3). Tempered material shall
be normalized, or shall be liquid quenched from 1700F
[925C] minimum, followed by tempering in accordance with
4.4.2, 4.4.3, or 4.4.5.
