Dear All

 

I need to know how can understand that ASTM A516 Gr.70 is normalized or not?

 

Somebody told me:

 “according to clause 5.3 of ASTM A516 standard (attached), when we apply charpy impact test on a material and it pass the impact test successfully, we can say the material is surly normalized but if the material can’t pass the impact test, we shall apply metallographic test to understanding if the material is normalized.

 

And somebody said me:

“we have just 1 way to know that is the material normalized or not. And its metallographic test.”

5. Heat Treatment

5.1 Plates 1.50 in. [40 mm] and under in thickness are

normally supplied in the as-rolled condition. The plates may be

ordered normalized or stress relieved, or both.

5.2 Plates over 1.50 in. [40 mm] in thickness shall be

normalized.

See 5.1 and 5.2 of the A516 specification.

 

Anything less than 1.5 inches thick is usually as rolled and anything above 1.5 inches thick is required to be normalized.

 

If you need low temperature impacts and the material thickness is less than 1.5 inches, you should specify that the material be normalized.

 

Heat treatment should be stated on CMTR.

And the plate must have a mark of "MT" (denoting material treated) . See SA 20, 13.1.2.

Dear Mr.M Farhang

If you wanted to know whether the material is normalized or not go for
microstructure.if ASTM no obtained is greater than 5 then the material
is said to be normalized.as above ASTM no 5.fine grain structure is
observed.

M. Farhang;

 

The plates can be supplied “normalized” or “as rolled”; it depends how it was ordered:

 

 

In my point of view, for data book issues and assured properties , you should have the original material certificates that guarantee the treatment imposed to the material’s specific  lot. Metallographic tests  can guarantee only the conditions for the specific plates inspected.

 

 

Special attention to the AWS D1.1 regarding precaution when using ASTM A 500 class where toughness properties are required.

 

 

Gest regards

 

Sérgio Munhós

on the basis of hardness difference u can recognize. normalized
(air-cooled) should have more hardness than the as-rolled or stress
relieved. as hardness is related to tensile strength u can assess its
strength and compare it with literature value.

Dear Farhang,

Based on my experience in laboratory, in some cases metallographic microstructures could not show the material whether normalized or not because this type of heat treatment will not affect microstructure as much as other heat treatments e.g. annealing. However in some cases we could see normalized microstructure clearly. The big problem is we have no judgment base for differing between normalized or non-normalized microstructures for different kind of materials.

I think because of that, standards based their qualifications on impact test (we have keep in mind that normalizing will improve toughness properties, I mean the subject is toughness not the normalizing by itself). So if you test a material and qualify for impact, you can assume it as normalized material or a material treated at least equal to normalizing.

 

Regards

After normalized for A516Gr.70,the original MTR or MTC would appear "MT",this means material treated.(Heat treatment).

Of course,after normalized,the steel property would be improved and better.

As one steel plates supplier,our engineers suggest you has better choose Normalized heat treatment for your needed A516Gr.70 for thickness above 40mm (Normally is 1.5inch).

Hope this would be useful to you.
