Standard Specification for

Stainless Steel Billets and Bars for Forging1


This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 314; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

on the purchase order especially when the item is ordered for


a specific end use or uses.

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers stainless steel billets and bars
intended only for forging.

NOTE 1A typical ordering description is as follows: 10 000 lb, Type


420, annealed, round-cornered square billets, ASTM A 314 dated
for valve parts.

2. Referenced Documents
2.1 ASTM Standards:
A 484/A 484M Specification for General Requirements for
Stainless Steel Bars, Billets and Forgings2
A 751 Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology for
Chemical Analysis of Steel Products3
E 527 Practice for Numbering Metals and Alloys (UNS)4
2.2 Other Document:
SAE J1086 Recommended Practice for Numbering Metals
and Alloys5

4. Manufacture
4.1 Annealing
4.1.1 Blooms and billets of the 400 series of stainless steel
types which are highly hardenable, such as Types 414, 420,
431, 440A, 440B, and 440C, are commonly annealed prior to
shipment and so specified in order to avoid the possibility of
thermal cracking. Those grades are not normally furnished in
the as-rolled or as-forged condition. Other hardenable grades,
such as Types 403, 410, 416, and 416 Se, which may also
require annealing, depending on their composition and size, are
furnished suitable for cold cutting when so specified on the
purchase order.
4.2 Conditioning
4.2.1 Material may be conditioned by chipping or grinding
to remove injurious surface defects provided the depth of
conditioning does not exceed that which will affect the surface
condition or dimensions of the article to be forged from the bar
or billet.

3. Ordering Information
3.1 It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify all
requirements that are necessary for material ordered under this
specification. Such requirements may include but are not
limited to the following:
3.1.1 Quantity (weight or number of pieces),
3.1.2 Name of material: type or UNS designation (Table 1),
3.1.3 Condition,
3.1.4 Cross section (round, round-cornered square, etc.),
3.1.5 Form: bar or forging billet,
3.1.6 Applicable dimensions, including size, thickness,
width, and length,
3.1.7 ASTM designation and date of issue,
3.1.8 Preparation for delivery (see Specification A 484/
A 484M),
3.1.9 Marking (see Specification A 484/A 484M), and
3.1.10 Exceptions to the specification or special requirements.
3.2 If possible, the intended use of the item should be given

5. Chemical Composition
5.1 The steel shall conform to the chemical composition
prescribed in Table 1 for the respective grades.
5.2 Methods and practices relating to chemical analysis
required by this specification shall be in accordance with Test
Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751.
6. Dimensions
6.1 Billets and bars shall conform to the shape and dimensions specified by the purchaser within a permissible variation
of 65 %.
