1.1This specification covers nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-copper-nitrogen low-carbon alloy, nickel-iron-chromium-silicon alloy, chromium-nickel-iron-nitrogen low-carbon alloy, iron-nickel-chromium-molybdenum-copper-nitrogen alloy, and nickel-iron-chromium-molybdenum-nitrogen alloy plate, sheet, and strip in the annealed temper.
1.2ASTM International has adopted definitions whereby some grades, such as UNS N08904, previously in this specification were recognized as stainless steels, because those grades have iron as the largest element by mass percent. Such grades are under the oversight of ASTM Committee A01 and its subcommittees. The products of N08904 previously covered in this specification are now covered by Specifications A240/A240M and A480/A480M.
1.3The 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.
1.4This 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.
1.5This 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.
