Case 2038-4
25Cr-22Ni-2Mo-N, UNS S31050, Austenitic
Stainless Steel Forgings
Section VIII, Divisions 1 and 2
Inquiry: May solution-annealed austenitic stainless
steel, 25Cr-22Ni-2Mo-N, UNS S31050 forgings meeting
the chemical and mechanical property requirements
given in Table 1 and Table 2, and otherwise conforming
to the requirements of Specication SA-182, as applica-
ble, be used in welded construction under the rules of
Section VIII, Divisions 1 and 2?
Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the
material listed in the Inquiry may be used in welded
construction under the rules of Section VIII, Divisions
1 and 2, provided the following additional requirements
are met.
