Designation: A565/A565M - 10 (Reapproved 2017)F1

Standard Specification for
Martensitic Stainless Steel Bars for High-Temperature
Service1 2
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A565/A565M; 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.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.
E1 NOTE—Revised Table 1 editorially to show commonly accepted element name Niobium (formerly Columbium) in March 2017.

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers hot-finished and cold-finished martensitic chromium steel bars for high-temperature service. The
mechanical properties are developed by suitable heat treatment, as indicated for each alloy.
1.2 Where strength at temperature is a factor, these steels are generally limited to a maximum service temperature of 1200°F
[650°C]. For oxidation (scaling) resistance and at low stresses, these steels are useful to 1450°F |790°C|.
1.3 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units; however, unless the purchase order or contract specifies
the applicable M specification designation (SI units), the inch-pound units shall apply. The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI
units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may
not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may
result in nonconformance with the specification.
