Hey Everyone,
I am using a stainless steel bolting material which is designated ASTM A564 Type 630, Condition H1150. I am qualifying it using the ASME BPV Code (Section III, Subsection NF) which has different allowables for ferritic and austenitic materials but I can't seem to find guidance for martensitic materials. Which is more appropriate for qualification purposes??? Is there a paragraph in ASME that will provide some light on the subject??
