Mechanical Properties
8.1 Plate:
8.1.1 Tensile Requirements:
8.1.1.1 The tensile properties shall be determined
by a tension test of the composite plate for clad plates
that meet all of the following conditions. However, if
the cladding is for corrosion allowance only, the cladding may be removed prior to tensile testing. The
tensile properties thus determined shall be not less than
the minimum and not more than 5000 psi (35 MPa)
over the maximum prescribed in the specification for
the base steel used. All other tensile test requirements
of the specification for the base steel shall be met.
(a) The composite gage is less than or equal
to 112 in.
(b) The specified minimum tensile strength of
the base steel is less than or equal to 70 000 psi
(485 MPa).
(c) The specified minimum yield strength of the
base steel is less than or equal to 40 000 psi (275 MPa).
Materials and Manufacture
6.1 Process:
6.1.1 The steel shall be made by the open-hearth,
electric-furnace (with separate degassing and refining
optional), or basic-oxygen processes, or by secondary
processes whereby steel made from these primary processes is remelted using electroslag remelting or vacuum-arc remelting processes.
6.1.2 The alloy-cladding metal may be metallurgically bonded to the base metal by any method that
will produce a clad steel which will conform to the
requirements of this specification.
6.2 Heat Treatment:
6.2.1 Unless otherwise specified or agreed upon
between the purchaser and the manufacturer, all austenitic stainless steel clad plates shall be given a heat
treatment consisting of heating to the proper temperature
for the solution of the chromium carbides in the cladding
followed by individual air cooling. For base metals of
air-hardening low-alloy steels the above heat treatment
shall be followed by a tempering treatment.
8.1.1.2 The tensile properties shall be determined

by a tension test of the base steel only for clad plates
that meet one of the following conditions. The tensile
properties thus determined shall meet all of the tensile
test requirements for the base steel.
(a) The composite gage is greater than 112 in.
(b) The specified minimum tensile strength of
the base steel is greater than 70 000 psi (485 MPa).
(c) The specified minimum yield strength of the
base steel is greater than 40 000 psi (275 MPa).
6.2.2 When plates over 1 in. (25.4 mm) in thickness

are to be cold formed, the purchaser may specify that
such plates be heat treated for grain refinement of the
base metal.
7.
SA-264
8.1.2 Ductility Two bend tests of the composite

plate shall be made, one with the alloy cladding in
tension and the other with the alloy cladding in compression to determine the ductility of the materials. On
double-clad plates, the bend tests shall be made so that
one specimen represents the alloy cladding in tension
on one side while the other specimen represents the
alloy cladding in tension on the opposite side. Bend
tests shall be made in accordance with the requirements
prescribed in the specification for the base metal.
Chemical Composition
7.1 The composite plate, sheet, or strip may conform

to any desired combination of alloy-cladding metal and
base metal as described in 7.2 and 7.3 and as agreed
upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
7.2 Alloy Cladding Metal The alloy-cladding
metal specified shall conform to the requirements as
to chemical composition prescribed for the respective

8.1.3 Shear Strength When required by the

purchaser, the minimum shear strength the alloy cladding and base metals shall be 20 000 psi (140 MPa).
The shear test, when specified, shall be made in the
manner indicated in Fig. 1.
the base metal plus 40% of the cladding thickness

from the bonded side, not to exceed 116 in. (1.598
mm). The material shall be cleaned and sufficient
millings taken to represent the full cross-section of the
remainder. If there is insufficient cladding thickness
available to spectrographically expose on the center
line of the cladding without contamination, 50% of the
cladding shall be removed and the sample exposed on
this surface.
8.1.4 Bond Strength As an alternative to the

shear strength test provided in 8.1.3 and when required
by the purchaser, three bend tests shall be made with
the alloy cladding in compression to determine the
quality of the bond. These bend tests shall be made
in accordance with the specifications for the cladding
metal. At least two of the three tests shall show not
more than 50% separation on both edges of the bent
portion. Greater separation shall be cause for rejection.
9.3 The results of the product analysis shall conform

to the requirements of Section 7 of Specification A
480/A 480M.
9.4 Methods and practices relating the chemical
analysis required by this specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices, and Definitions
A 751.
8.2 Sheet and Strip:

8.2.1 The bend test specimens of sheet and strip
shall stand being bent cold through an angle of 180
without cracking on the outside of the bent portion.
The bend test specimens shall be bent around a pin
the diameter of which is equal to the thickness of the
material. The axis of the bend shall be transverse to
the direction of rolling.
10.
10.1 Composite plates, sheets, and strips shall conform to the dimensional and weight requirements prescribed in Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
8.2.2 The bond between the alloy cladding and

the base metal shall be ascertained by observation of
the behavior of the composite sheet or strip when
sheared with the alloy side down.
11.
8.3 Methods and practices relating to mechanical

testing required by this specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370.

Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible

Variations
Thickness of Cladding Metal
11.1 The minimum thickness and tolerances on the

thickness of the alloy-cladding metal shall be agreed
upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
Product Analysis
12.
9.1 Product analysis may be required on finished

product. Chemical analysis may be accomplished by wet
chemical or instrumental procedures. If wet chemical
procedures are used, millings may be taken only when
the composite plate thickness is sufficient to permit
obtaining millings without danger of contamination
from the adjacent layer. If spectrometric procedures
are used, the sample shall be exposed on the center
line of the cladding when where there is sufficient
cladding thickness available so that there is no contamination from the adjacent base metal.
Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance
12.1 The material shall be free of injurious defects,

shall have a workmanlike appearance, and shall conform
to the designated finish.
12.2 Plate alloy surfaces shall be sand-blasted, pickled, or blast-cleaned and pickled.
12.3 The finish for the alloy surfaces of sheets and
strips shall be as specified in Specification A 240/A
240 M.
9.2 If product analysis is specified by the purchaser,

it shall be made on a sample taken from the finished
product or a broken test specimen. For wet chemical
analysis, in order to avoid contamination by the base
plate metal, millings of cladding samples shall be taken
from the test coupon by removal and discard of all
13.

before testing, a retest shall be allowed.
14.2.1 In the case of single-clad sheet or strip
produced in coil form, two bend tests shall be made
from each end of the coil. On double-clad sheet or
strip produced in coil form, one bend test shall be
made from each end of the coil.
13.1.2 The welding procedure and the welders or

welding operators shall be qualified in accordance with
Section IX of the ASME Code.
13.1.3 The defective area shall be removed and
the area prepared for repair shall be examined by a
magnetic particle method or a liquid penetrant method
to ensure that all of the defective area has been removed.
Method of test and acceptance standard shall be as
agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
14.2.2 In the case of single-clad sheet or strip

produced in discrete cut lengths, four bend tests shall
be made on each 100 or less pieces of the same heat
and nominal thickness, provided the 100 pieces weigh
not less than 1000 lbs. In the event that 100 pieces
weigh less than 1000 lbs, four bend tests shall be made
from each 1000 lbs or less of the same heat and
nominal thickness. On double-clad sheet or strip, two
bend tests shall be made on each lot as defined in the
two preceding sentences.
13.1.4 The repair weld shall be deposited in accordance with a welding procedure and welding materials
suitable for the cladding material. The surface condition
of the repaired area shall be restored to a condition
similar to the rest of the cladding.
14.2.3 On double-clad materials, the bend tests

shall be made so that one specimen will represent the
alloy-cladding metal in tension on one side while the
other specimen will represent the alloy-cladding metal
in tension on the opposite side.
13.1.5 The repaired area shall be examined by a

liquid penetrant method in accordance with 13.1.3.
13.1.6 The location and extent of the weld repairs
together with the repair procedure and examination
results shall be transmitted as a part of the certification.

Permissible variations in weight apply only to polished finishes. The actual weight of any one item of an ordered thickness and size in any finish
is limited in overweight by the following tolerances:
Any item of 5 sheets or less, or any item estimated to weigh 200 lb (90.72
kg) or less
Any item of more than 5 sheets, and estimated to weigh more than 200 lb

There is no under variation in weight for No. 1 and No. 2 finishes, these finishes being limited in under variations only by the
permissible variations in thickness. Polished sheets may actually weigh as much as 5% less than the estimated weight. Estimated
