Carbon Steel ASTM A105

ASTM A105 is a popular carbon steel which widely used in flanges products.

  • Principal Features: A 105 is an ASTM specification dealing with forged carbon steel piping components. The steel alloy involved is a low carbon, manganese and silicon containing steel similar to AISI 1330, but with lower manganese content.
  • Applications: This ASTM specification covers carbon steel forgings for piping applications such as flanges and fittings
  • Machinability: Machinability is good as for any of the low alloy steels.
  • Forming: This specification covers forming by forging only.
  • Welding: The steel covered by this specification is weldable. Weld procedures used must be qualified with Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
  • Heat Treatment: Heat treatment is not required except for flanges or piping components as called out in ASTM A 105/A section 5.1. When heat treatment is required it consists of normalizing at 1550 to 1700 F and air cooled. Quenching direct from the forging heating shall be followed by a temper at 1100 F and air cool.
  • Forging: This is a forging alloy that would be forged at temperatures in the range of 2200 to 1700 F followed by quenching and tempering or normalizing.
  • Hot Working: See “Forging”.
  • Cold Working: This specification does not cover cold working other than machining.
  • Annealing: Annealing may be done by first allowing the forged parts to cool to below 1000 F and then reheat to between 1550 and 1700 F followed by slow furnace cooling.
  • Aging: Not applicable.
  • Tempering: Tempering is done at 1100 F followed by air cooling.
  • Hardening: See “Heat treatment” and ” Tempering”.
  • Other comments: Physical and mechanical properties are similar to those for AISI 1330 steel. Consult ASTM A105 for requirements as to strength and hardness.
