Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is ASTM B167 / B167M?
ASTM B167 / B167M is the Standard Specification for Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloy Seamless Pipe and Tube. It covers seamless pipe and tube products manufactured from nickel-chromium-iron alloys such as UNS N06600, N06601, N06603, N06690, N06693, N06025, and N06045.
Which alloy is most commonly used under ASTM B167?
UNS N06600 (Inconel 600) is the most widely used alloy under ASTM B167. It is a general-purpose Nickel-Chromium-Iron alloy known for excellent performance in high-temperature and corrosive environments.
What mechanical properties are required for N06600 in annealed condition?
For N06600 in the annealed condition, ASTM B167 requires a minimum tensile strength of 80 ksi (550 MPa), a minimum yield strength of 35 ksi (240 MPa), and a minimum elongation of 30%.
What testing is required for ASTM B167 pipe and tube?
Required testing includes chemical analysis per heat/lot, tensile testing per lot, hydrostatic or nondestructive testing (such as eddy current testing) for leaks and defects, as well as dimensional and visual inspection for surface quality and straightness.
Why is UNS N06690 preferred for nuclear applications?
UNS N06690 features a low carbon content, which significantly reduces the risk of sensitization and intergranular corrosion. This makes it highly suitable for nuclear steam generator tubing and other nuclear industry applications where corrosion resistance is critical.
What information must be provided when ordering ASTM B167 pipe or tube?
When placing an order, buyers must specify the ASTM designation (B167 or B167M), the alloy UNS number, required dimensions (OD, wall thickness, length), material condition (e.g., annealed or cold-worked), any additional test requirements, certification needs, and any special packaging requirements.
