ASTM A694 Grade F52 is a high-yield carbon/low-alloy forging grade intended for high-pressure transmission service (minimum yield ≈ 52 ksi / 360 MPa, minimum tensile ≈ 66 ksi / 455 MPa, minimum elongation...
ASTM A234 is the industry standard that defines wrought carbon and alloy steel butt-weld fittings intended for moderate to high-temperature pressure piping; its most common designation, Grade WPB, provides...
ASTM A350 (A350/A350M) is the ASTM/ASME specification for carbon and low-alloy forgings that require notch-toughness testing for piping components — most commonly used for low-temperature flanges, fittings...
For most applications, precipitation-hardened 17-4 PH (UNS S17400 / AISI 630) delivers stable strength and corrosion resistance with continuous service recommended up to about 600 °F (≈316 °C). Longer...
The correct joint choice depends on part geometry, load path, access, material thickness, required weld penetration, and production volume. For general structural work, fillet welds in T, lap, corner joints...
MPa (megapascal) and psi (pound-force per square inch) are both measures of pressure or stress; MPa is the SI metric unit (1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa = 1 N/mm²) and psi is the imperial/US customary unit (1 psi...
Galvanic corrosion will cause aluminum to corrode preferentially when it is electrically connected to stainless steel in a conductive environment; this risk grows when the electrolyte contains chlorides,...
Can You Weld Stainless Steel to Carbon Steel? Yes! stainless steels can be welded to carbon (mild) steels reliably when the correct consumables, welding procedure, and corrosion-control strategy are used....
Stainless steel typically has a bulk density between 7.5 and 8.0 g/cm³ (7,500–8,000 kg/m³). Specific grades show small but important differences: type 304 is about 7.93–8.00 g/cm³, type 316 near 7.98–8.00...
Pure zinc metal has a room-temperature density of approximately 7.13–7.14 g·cm⁻³ (≈7,134 kg·m⁻³) in its common solid form (hexagonal/tetragonal structures depending on allotrope). This value falls consistently...
