ASTM A322 A322 48L15 Material Machining Technology
ASTM A322 A322 48L15 is a low-carbon, alloy steel that is typically used for applications requiring higher strength, toughness, and wear resistance. The main alloying elements in the steel are manganese and molybdenum, which together give it superior strength-to-weight ratios. The steel has a hardness between 280 and 350 Brinell, and is generally easily weldable, though preheating or postheating may be necessary in some cases. It is also relatively resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in environmentally corrosive environments.
