ASTM A148 / A148M

This specification covers carbon steel, alloy steel, and martensitic stainless steel castings that are to be subjected to higher mechanical stresses than those covered in Specification A27/A27M. Several grades of steel castings are covered, having the chemical composition and mechanical properties prescribed

Chemical Properties

Grade Sulfur Phosphorus, max

Mechanical Properties

Grade Tensile strength min,
