What Is ASTM B468 Welded Tube?
ASTM B468 is a standardization that deals with welded nickel alloy tubes, which will be used in corrosive and high temperature applications. These tubes are built out of flat-rolled alloy and automatically welded without filler material into which cold working and suitable heat treatment is performed to attain high metallurgical and mechanical levels.
ASTM B468 welded tubes can be used instead of the customary stainless steel tubes, owing to their high level of resistance to sulfuric acid, chlorides as well as stress corrosion cracking, particularly in chemical and petrochemical application.
Alloy Grades Covered Under ASTM B468
Alloy 20 and its modified grades are among the main ASTM B468 specification that provides a certain performance advantage in each case of application.
