ASTM WK94031
Revision of A923-23 Standard Test Methods for Detecting Detrimental Intermetallic Phase in Duplex Austenitic/Ferritic Stainless Steels
Rationale
As a result of an inquiry, it was determined that requirements for Impact Energy and Test Temperature were not clear because they were together in Note A of Table 2 Applicability. and Acceptance Criteria for Test Method B. This seemed to indicate that the provision for colder test temperatures was not applicable to UNS S32750 and UNS S32760, which is not correct. This proposal will move the sentence “Test may be conducted at a temperature below the specified temperature.” to a separate note.
