What is ASTM A217?
ASTM A217 is a Specification for Steel Castings, Martensitic Stainless and Alloy, for Pressure-Containing Parts, Suitable for High-Temperature Service.Category
Corrosion-Resisting and Heat-Resisting SteelsScope
This specification covers martensitic stainless steel and alloy steel castings for valves, flanges, fittings, and other pressure-containing parts intended primarily for high-temperature and corrosive service.Ok let's start with ASTM A217 chemical composition.
Chemical Composition
Grade WC6
C
0.05 - 020Mn
0.50 - 0.80P max.
0.04S max.
0.045Si max.
0.60Cr
1.00 - 1.50Mo
0.45 - 0.65Cu max.
0.50Ni max.
0.50W max.
0.10Others max.
1.00Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Yield Strength
Grade WC6
40 ksi (275 MPa) minLearn more about what is yield strength.
Tensile Strength
Grade WC6
70 to 95 ksi (485 to 655 MPa)Learn more about what is tensile strength.
Elongation (min.) 50 mm
0.2.Learn more about what is elongation.
Reduction of Area (min. %)
0.35.Learn more about reduction of area.
Density
7480 - 8000 kg/m3 (around 7.9 g/cm3 or 0.285 lb/in3).Learn more about density.
Elastic Modulus
180 GPa (26107 ksi) - 210GPa (30458 ksi).Learn more about the Elastic Modulus.
Poisson's Ratio
Usually around 0.26 – 0.31.Learn more about the poisson ratio.
Allowable Stress
Depends on the project (And its factor of safety).Learn more about the what is allowable stress.
My Material's Rank
While engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and ASTM A217 currently ranks 69 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 68 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 134 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my astm material's comparison post for more details.

Citation
When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. ASTM A217 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings). Materials Blog. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
