What is ASTM A790?
ASTM A790 is a Specification for Seamless and Welded Ferritic/Austenitic Stainless Steel Pipe.Category
Corrosion-Resisting and Heat-Resisting SteelsScope
This specification covers seamless and straight-seam welded ferritic/austenitic steel pipe intended for general corrosive service, with particular emphasis on resistance to stress corrosion cracking. These steels are susceptible to embrittlement if used for prolonged periods at elevated temperatures.Ok let's start with ASTM A790 chemical composition.
Chemical Composition
Grade UNS S32750
C max.
0.030Mn max.
1.20P max.
0.035S max.
0.020Si max.
0.80Ni
6.0 - 8.0Cr
24.0 - 26.0Mo
3.0 - 5.0N
0.24 - 0.32Cu max.
0.5Learn more about chemical composition.
Now it's the mechanical properties turn:
Yield Strength
Grade UNS S32750
80 ksi (550 MPa) min.Learn more about what is yield strength.
Tensile Strength
Grade UNS S32750
116 ksi (800 MPa) min.Learn more about what is tensile strength.
Elongation (min.) 50 mm
0.15.Learn more about what is elongation.
Reduction of Area (min. %)
Not Required.Learn more about reduction of area.
Hardness Requirements
Grade UNS S32750
300 HBW or 32 HRC max.Learn more about what is hardness.
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 A790 currently ranks 25 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 24 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 A790 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.
