Form This specification covers a corrosion-resistant steel in the form of bars@ wire@ forgings@ mechanical tubing@ flash welded rings@ and stock for forging@ flash welded rings or heading. Application These products have been used typically for parts requiring corrosion resistance and high strength up to 600 ??(316 ??@ but usage is not limited to such applications. Certain processing procedures and service conditions may cause these products to become susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking; ARP1110 recommends practices to minimize such conditions. For applications@ such as bolting@ where stress-corrosion is a possibility@ the product should be precipitation heat treated for not less than 4 hours at the highest temperature compatible with the strength requirements but in no case lower than 1025 ??(552 ??.
