(1) New designations established in accordance with Practice E 527 and SAE J1086 published jointly by ASTM and SAE. See ASTM DS56C.
(2) Maximum unless otherwise indicated.
(3) Except as required for specific alloy type, molybdenum, titanium, nickel, cobalt, tantalum, nitrogen, and copper need not be reported but
shall not be present in other than residual amounts, the intent being to prohibit substitution of one alloy type for another due to absence
of control of the above named elements in certain alloys.
(4) American Welding Society designation.
(5) See Supplementary Requirement S1.
(6) Nitrogen content is to be reported for this grade.
(7) Product analysis tolerance over the maximum limit for carbon and nitrogen to be 0.002%.

NOTES:
(1) See Section 7.
(2) Reduction of area does not apply on flat bars 316 in. [4.80 mm] and under in thickness as this determination is not generally made in
this product size.
(3) American Welding Society designation.
(4) Tensile strength 70 ksi [485 MPa] min permitted for extruded shapes.
(5) For bars greater than 2 in. [51 mm], a cross section, 60 ksi [415 MPa] min, shall be permitted.
(6) Elongation in 2 in. or 50 mm of 12% min and reduction of area of 35% min permitted for cold-finished bars.
(7) Elongation in 2 in. of 12% min and reduction of area of 35% min permitted for cold-drawn or cold-rolled bars.
(8) Annealed bars shall be capable of meeting the tempered condition requirements when heat treated in accordance with 5.4.3.

Corrosion Tests
S3.
S5.
S5.1 This supplementary requirement is to be referenced when austenitic stainless steels are to be purchased
in accordance with 5.1.1 with solution-annealing as the
final operation and with no subsequent cold drawing
permitted. Straightening is permitted as a final operation
to meet the straightness requirements of Specification

APPENDIX
(Nonmandatory Information)
X1. RATIONALE REGARDING DEFINITION
OF SOLUTION ANNEALING IN 5.1.1
larger grain size of material solution annealed by reheating is generally desired. For that reason a minimum
grain size has been required of the H grades (created
for optimum elevated temperature properties) and a
mandatory grain size test and report has been added
for the non-H grades so that the information is available
for those desiring to reclassify a non-H grade to H
grade.
X1.3 To satisfy the concerns of inadvertent assignment of fine grained material to elevated temperature
applications, special marking has been added for material which meets the requirements of Supplementary
Requirement S1.
X1.4 A mandatory test for susceptibility to intergranular corrosion has been added for material solution
annealed by the alternative method [see (2) in 5.1.1]
so that a history of data can be accumulated, as has
been done in the past for material solution annealed
by reheating.
X1.2 For Boiler Code applications involving temperatures where optimum resistance to creep is desired, the
