ASTM A265 Properties (Chem., Mech. & Rankings) 2022

In this post I'll talk about and give details about ASTM A265. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.

What is ASTM A265?

ASTM A265 is a Specification for Nickel and Nickel-Base Alloy-Clad Steel Plate.

Category

Corrosion-Resisting and Heat-Resisting Steels

Scope

This specification covers plate of a carbon steel or low-alloy steel base to which is integrally and continuously bonded on one or both sides a layer of nickel or nickel-base alloy. The material is generally intended for pressure vessel use but may be used in other structural applications where corrosion resistance of the alloy is of prime importance.

Ok let's start with ASTM A265 chemical composition.

Now it's the mechanical properties turn:

Yield Strength

40 ksi (275 MPa) min

Learn more about what is yield strength.

Tensile Strength

70 ksi (485 MPa) min.

Learn more about what is tensile strength.

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 A265 currently ranks 71 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 70 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.

References

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 A265 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.
