ASTM A965/A965M-26 — Austenitic Stainless Steel Forgings
Procurement reference for austenitic stainless steel forgings used for pressure and high-temperature parts.
This MNK-G.S.A page is an original procurement summary. It does not reproduce or replace the protected ASTM publication.
Scope in Procurement
- ASTM A965/A965M is a forging specification for pressure and high-temperature parts. It must be selected by the finished component and code context.
- The official abstract lists F310/F310H and F321/F321H among its grade routes; the current purchased standard governs the complete grade table and requirements.
- A grade name does not determine forging compliance. Heat treatment, section size, test location, mechanical properties and supplementary requirements remain order-specific.
Where This Standard Fits
| Product form | Austenitic stainless steel forgings |
| Typical inquiry use | Pressure and high-temperature parts |
| Grade examples in official abstract | F310/F310H and F321/F321H |
| Selection boundary | Choose between A965, A182 or another component specification from the actual part and governing code |
Ordering Controls
- Exact forging grade and edition
- Part type, drawing and governing pressure code
- Starting stock, forging route and heat treatment
- Section size, machining allowance and final dimensions
- Mechanical testing, NDT, sampling and supplementary requirements
- Certificate, traceability, quantity and destination
Edition control: the purchase order, approved material specification and current official ASTM publication govern the supply. The standard designation alone does not prove grade, form or project compliance.
