ASTM A148 Grade 150-135 Cast Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Product Technical Datasheet: ASTM A148 Grade 150-135 Cast Steel** **1. Product Overview** ASTM A148 Grade 150-135 is a premium-grade, high-strength, low-alloy steel casting specified under the ASTM A148 standard. It represents the highest strength class within this specification, designed for the most demanding structural applications where extreme mechanical properties and weight reduction are paramount. The grade designation "150-135" explicitly defines its minimum mechanical performance: **150 ksi (1035 MPa) tensile strength** and **135 ksi (930 MPa) yield strength**. Castings of this grade are invariably supplied in the heat-treated (quenched and tempered) condition to achieve this exceptional combination of strength and toughness. **2. Governing International Standard** The definitive standard for this product is **ASTM A148 / A148M - Standard Specification for Steel Castings, High Strength, for Structural Purposes**. This standard categorizes cast steels by their minimum tensile and yield strength requirements. Grade 150-135 sits at the top of this hierarchy, intended for components subjected to severe stress and dynamic loading. **3. Chemical Composition** While ASTM A148 primarily mandates mechanical properties, allowing foundries flexibility in chemistry to meet them, Grade 150-135 typically requires a carefully balanced low-alloy steel composition to achieve its hardenability and strength. A representative chemical analysis is as follows (in weight %, maximum unless range is given): * **Carbon (C):** 0.40 - 0.50% * **Manganese (Mn):** 0.70 - 1.00% * **Silicon (Si):** 0.30 - 0.60% * **Phosphorus (P):** 0.025% max * **Sulfur (S):** 0.025% max * **Chromium (Cr):** 0.90 - 1.20% * **Nickel (Ni):** 1.60 - 2.20% * **Molybdenum (Mo):** 0.25 - 0.40% * **(Optional) Vanadium (V):** 0.03 - 0.08% (may be added for grain refinement) **Note:** Final alloy composition is optimized by the foundry to ensure the required properties are consistently met in the specified casting section sizes. **4. Physical & Mechanical Properties** * **Minimum Mechanical Properties (as per ASTM A148):** * **Tensile Strength:** 150 ksi (1035 MPa) * **Yield Strength (0.2% Offset):** 135 ksi (930 MPa) * **Elongation in 2" (50 mm):** 6% * **Reduction of Area:** 25% * **Typical Achieved Properties (After Quench & Temper):** * **Hardness:** 321 - 375 HBW (Brinell Hardness) * **Modulus of Elasticity:** 29 x 10⁶ psi (200 GPa) * **Poisson's Ratio:** 0.29 * **Density:** 7.85 g/cm³ * **Heat Treatment:** **Quenching and Tempering (Q&T)** is mandatory. The precise quenching medium (oil or water) and tempering temperature are critically controlled to develop the required martensitic/bainitic microstructure that delivers this exceptional strength-toughness balance. **5. Key Characteristics & Engineering Advantages** * **Ultra-High Strength:** Provides the highest load-bearing capacity among ASTM A148 grades, enabling the design of lighter, more compact components. * **Good Fracture Toughness:** For its strength level, it maintains valuable ductility and resistance to crack propagation, crucial for dynamic loading. * **Good Wear and Abrasion Resistance:** The high hardness and strength make it suitable for components in contact with abrasive materials. * **Machinability:** **Difficult.** Requires powerful machinery, rigid setups, premium cutting tools (carbide or ceramic), and appropriate feeds/speeds due to its high hardness and strength. * **Weldability:** **Poor to Very Difficult.** Welding requires extreme caution. **Mandatory procedures** include high preheat (300-400°F / 150-200°C), strict control of interpass temperature, use of high-strength, low-hydrogen electrodes, and **mandatory Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT)** to restore properties and relieve stresses in the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). Fabrication welding is generally discouraged; repair welding must follow qualified procedures. **6. Typical Applications** This grade is specified for critical, highly stressed components in severe service environments: * **Mining & Aggregate Processing:** Gyratory crusher mantles/cones, jaw crusher parts, shovel dipper teeth and adapters, dredge pump casings, heavy-duty chain links. * **Construction & Heavy Equipment:** Critical pins, bushings, and links for excavators and draglines, high-stress structural weldments, crane sheave wheels. * **Oil, Gas & Geothermal:** High-pressure valve bodies and components, wellhead equipment parts, drilling tool joints (where specified). * **Defense & Aerospace:** Armored vehicle components, tank track links, heavy-duty landing gear and suspension parts for aircraft. * **Power Generation:** High-integrity structural components for turbines and generators, where high strength-to-weight ratio is critical. **7. Summary** ASTM A148 Grade 150-135 is the pinnacle of high-strength structural cast steels within the A148 specification. It delivers unmatched tensile and yield strength, making it an engineering choice for applications where performance and reliability under extreme stress are non-negotiable. Its use demands careful consideration of manufacturing constraints, particularly regarding machining and welding. When applied appropriately, it enables innovative, weight-optimized designs for the world's most challenging industrial equipment. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A148 Grade 150-135 Cast Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5852 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A148 Grade 150-135 Cast Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
