This specification covers a group of common requirements that, unless otherwise specified in the individual material specification, shall apply to steel forgings under any of the following specifications issued by ASTM: ASTM Designation Title A 266 Forgings, Carbon Steel for Pressure Vessel Components A 288 Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgings for Magnetic Retaining Rings for Turbine Generators A 289 Alloy Steel Forgings for Nonmagnetic Retaining Rings for Generators A 290 Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgings for Rings for Reduction Gears A 291 Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgings for Pinions and Gears for Reduction Gears A 294 Alloy Steel Forgings for Turbine Wheels and Disks A 336 Steel Forgings Alloy, for Pressure and High-Temperature Parts A 372 Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgings for Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels A 427 Wrought Alloy Steel Rolls for Cold and Hot Reduction A 469 Vacuum-Treated Steel Forgings for Generator Rotors A 470 Vacuum-Treated Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgings for Turbine Rotors and Shafts A 471 Vacuum-Treated Alloy Steel Forgings for Turbine Rotor Disks and Wheels A 508/A 508M Quenched and Tempered Vacuum-Treated Carbon and Alloy Steel Forgings Pressure Vessels A 521 Steel Closed-Impression Die Forgings for General Industrial Use A 541/A 541M Steel Forgings, Carbon and Alloy, Quenched and Tempered, for Pressure Vessel Components A 579 Superstrength Alloy Steel Forgings A 592 High-Strength Quenched and Tempered Low-Alloy Steel Forged Fittings and Parts for Pressure Vessels A 649/A 649M Forged Steel Rolls Used for Corrugating Paper Machinery A 654 Special Requirements for Forgings and Bars for Nuclear and Other Special Applications A 668/A 668M Steel Forgings Carbon and Alloy for General Industrial Use A 723/A 723M Alloy Steel Forgings for High-Strength Pressure Component Application A 765/A 765M Carbon Steel and Low-Alloy Steel Pressure Vessel Component Forgings with Mandatory Toughness Requirements A 768 Vacuum-Treated 12% Chromium Alloy Steel Forgings for Turbine Rotors and Shafts A 837 Steel Forgings, Alloy, For Carburizing Applications A 859/A 859M Steel Forgings, Low-Carbon Age-Hardening Nickel-Copper- Chromium-Molybdenum Alloy Steel, for Pressure Vessel Components A 891 Precipitation Hardening Iron Basic Superalloy Forgings for Turbine Rotor Disks and Wheels . In case of conflict in requirements, the requirements of the individual material specifications shall prevail over those of this specification. The purchaser may specify additional requirements (see 4.2.3) that do not negate any of the provisions of either this specification or of the individual material specifications. The acceptance of any such additional requirements shall be dependent on negotiations with the supplier and must be included in the order. If, by agreement, forgings are to be supplied in a partially completed condition, that is, all of the provisions of the product specification have not been filled, then the material marking (see Section 16) and certification (see Section 17) shall reflect the extent to which the product specification requirements have been met.
