    ASTM A276, Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes

    Wrought stainless steel bar · Round, hex, flat, square, half-round · Hot-finished or cold-finished · Source spec for super duplex fasteners + machined components

    ASTM A276 covers hot-finished and cold-finished wrought stainless steel bars (round, hex, square, flat, half-round, and special shapes) and forging stock for general corrosive and high-temperature service. The standard runs across the full stainless family: austenitic (304, 316, 321, 347), ferritic (430, 446), martensitic (410, 420), precipitation-hardening (17-4 PH, 15-5 PH), super austenitic (254 SMO), duplex (2205 / S31803), and super duplex (S32760, S32750). For super duplex bolting and machined components, A276 is the source-bar specification, it qualifies the bar that becomes the bolt, stud, valve stem, or pump shaft.

    Super duplex grades are listed in A276 Table 1 as UNS S32760, S32750, S31260, and similar. The mechanical and chemical envelopes mirror the matching forging spec (A182), the matching plate spec (A240), and the matching fastener spec (A1082), so a heat that is qualified to A276 can also be released against A479, A182, A240, A276, and A1082 from the same melt. This is why TorqBolt's certificates routinely cite multiple ASTM specifications against a single heat number.

    A276 Required Testing for Super Duplex

    • Chemistry, full elemental analysis vs A276 Table 1 ranges; PREN calculated per heat
    • Tensile, yield, tensile, elongation, RA per ASTM E8 / E8M
    • Hardness, HRC or HV; NACE MR0175 sour-service cap at ≤ 28 HRC
    • Solution anneal verification, A276 §6, bars are SA at 1040-1100°C and water quenched; the heat treatment is mandatory for duplex grades
    • Ferrite content, ASTM E562 metallographic point count, 35-55% on duplex / super duplex
    • Sigma-phase test, ASTM A923 Method C, supplementary requirement S15, TorqBolt applies on every super duplex heat
    • CPT, ASTM G48 Method E, supplementary requirement
    • PMI, 100% of bars with calibrated XRF; heat cross-reference to MTC
    • EN 10204 type 3.1 (mill QC) or 3.2 (witnessed by TUV / BV / DNV / Lloyd's / ABS)
