Hello All,
Good Day..!
I need to order an Incoloy flange. I have a very old piping class given to me and that says it is ASTM A425 (which is in the form of rod and bars).
There is another grade, ASTM A564 (which is forging).
While comparing I found chemical composition and mechanical properties are same but A564 has not been annealed.
Having said that, my doubt is whether this heat treatment has any impact on selecting A564 in place of A425 having same Chemical composition and mechanical properties?
Vendors have quoted for mix of these, but I feel A564 is better suited for manufacture of flanges.
Thanks in advance
