Eight ASTM International steel standards were recently revised to help address the issue of creep (time-dependent deformation at elevated temperature and constant stress that can lead to failure) for certain steels (9% Chromium-1% Molybdenum). According to ASTM International member Kenneth Orie, a new “Type 2” designation introduced for Grade 91 steels in these standards culminates research…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Scott Orthey, tel +1.610.832.9730; sorthey@astm.org Release #10669
