ASTM A350 LF3 is a low-alloy steel grade designated as “3.5Ni steel” or “3-1/2Ni steel”. Forgings made of ASTM A350/ ASME SA-350 LF3 may be furnished in Class 1 or Class 2 with minor difference in Charpy V-notch energy requirements. This nickel steel is primarily applied for low-temperature service requiring notch toughness testing. However, it may also applied to services …

ASTM A350/ ASME SA-350 LF2 is a steel grade mainly applied to low temperature service. However, according to ASME B31.3 and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes, it can also be used for high temperature applications. A very common use is that they can be used for the manufacture of tubesheets for heat exchangers and heaters in high temperature and …

Class 1 and Class 2 of ASTM A350/ ASME SA-350 grade LF2 have the same chemical composition and mechanical properties. Even the allowable stresses of Class 1 and Class 2 in ASME Codes are the same. The main characteristic that distinguishes Class 1 from Class 2 is its minimum applicable temperature. The minimum applicable temperatures are -50°F [-46°C] for LF2 …
