Standard Specification for Martensitic Stainless Steel Forgings and Forging Stock for High-Temperature Service
STANDARD published on 1.4.2026
Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
Save Time and Trouble!
With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
Price
When you select the "Active + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of an Active + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

This specification covers martensitic chromium stainless steel forgings, forged bars, and forging stock for high-temperature service. The mechanical properties are developed by suitable heat treatment, as indicated for each alloy. Steel materials shall be manufactured by melting and forging processes, and heat treatments, that shall consist of austenizing, quenching, tempering, and stress relieving. Stainless steels may then be furnished in one of the following hot-finished conditions: as forged without descaling; forged and descaled; rough turned or rough machined. Specimens shall conform to required chemical compositions. Forgings shall undergo tension, impact, stress rapture, and hardness tests, and should conform to mechanical properties prescribed for individual grades and classes. These mechanical properties are: tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction of area, impact strength, and Brinell and Rockwell hardness.
