ASTM A597-14(R2020) pdf free download.Standard Specification for Cast Tool Steel
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers tool steel castings having chemical compositions similar to those ofthe standard wrought grades. 1.2 Several grades are covered and are designated by chemical composition shown in Table 1. 1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined. Inch-pound units are applicable to material ordered to Specification A597 and SI units for material ordered to A597M. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accor- dance with internationally recognized principles on standard- ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom- mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
3. General Conditions for Delivery
3.1 Except for investment castings, material furnished to this specification shall conform to the requirements of Speci- fication A781/A781M, including any supplementary require- ments that are indicated in the purchase order. Failure to comply with the general requirements of Specification A781/ A781M constitutes nonconformance with this specification. In case of conflict between the requirements of this specification and Specification A781/A781M, this specification shall pre- vail. 3.2 Investment castings furnished to this specification shall conform to the requirements of Specification A957/A957M, including any supplementary requirements that are indicated in the purchase order. Failure to comply with the general require- ments of Specification A957/A957M constitutes nonconfor- mance with this specification. In the case of conflict between the requirements of this specification and Specification A957/ A957M, Specification A957/A957M shall prevail.
4. Ordering Information
4.1 Orders for material under this specification should include the following information: 4.1.1 Quantity, 4.1.2 Specification, including year date, 4.1.3 Grade of steel, 4.1.4 Description of the casting by pattern number or drawing. Dimensional tolerances should be included on the drawing. 4.1.5 Options in the specification, and. 4.1.6 Supplementary requirements desired, including stan- dards of acceptance.
5. Materials and Manufacture
5.1 Heat treatment, if any, shall be as agreed between the producer and the purchaser. 5.2 Welding shall not be performed on these grades except by approval of the purchaser.
6. Chemical Composition
6.1 Alloys shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1.
