B
Time refers to minimum time material is at temperature and may be extended to obtain required ductility properties.
C
Unless otherwise noted, temperatures shown are suggested temperatures and may be varied to obtain required tensile properties.
D
Intermediate temperatures must meet the ductility requirements of the next highest suggested hardening or aging temperature, or both. Example: Type 630 at 1050
°F [565 °C] must have 13 % elongation and 45 % reduction, same as for age hardening at 1075 °F [580 °C].
E

during rolling or forging.

Either Rockwell C hardness or Brinell is permissible. On sizes 1⁄2 in. (12.70 mm) and smaller, Rockwell C is preferred.

When air cooling is specified, gases other than air may be used.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Committee A01 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue
(A564/A564M – 13ε1) that may impact the use of this standard. (Approved May 1, 2019.)

(1) Changed “Columbium plus tantalum” to “Niobium” in (2) Added footnote to Table 1 stating that Niobium and
Table 1. Columbium are the same element.
