Standard Specification for Nickel-Chromium-Iron-Molybdenum-Copper Alloy Plate, Sheet, and Strip
ABSTRACT
This specification deals with the standard requirements for nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys (UNS N06007, N06975, N06985, and N06030) in the form of plate, sheet, and strip for use in general corrosive services. These materials shall undergo hot or cold rolling, solution annealing, and descaling. The plates shall have sheared or cut machined, abrasive cut, powder cut, or inert arc cut edges while the sheet and strip shall have sheared or slit edges. Heat and product analysis shall be performed to determine the chemical composition of the specimens which shall conform to the specified nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, copper, manganese, cobalt, carbon, tungsten, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, columbium, tantalum, and titanium limits. The materials shall also conform to the mechanical property requirements for tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Rockwell hardness.
SCOPE
1.1 The specification2 covers plate, sheet, and strip of nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloys (UNS N06007, N06975, N06985, and N06030)3 as shown in Table 1, for use in general corrosive service.
1.2 The following products are covered under this specification:
1.2.1 Sheet and Strip—Hot or cold rolled, solution annealed, and descaled unless solution anneal is performed in an atmosphere yielding a bright finish.
1.2.2 Plate—Hot or cold rolled, solution annealed, and descaled.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM B582-07(2018) is the standard specification developed by ASTM International covering Nickel-Chromium-Iron-Molybdenum-Copper alloys (UNS N06007, N06975, N06985, and N06030) in the form of plate, sheet, and strip. These materials are designed for general corrosive service and manufactured through hot or cold rolling, followed by solution annealing and descaling. The standard establishes mandatory chemical composition and mechanical property requirements to ensure consistency and performance, making it essential for a variety of industrial applications where corrosion resistance and material reliability are priorities.

- Descaling
Edge and Surface Finish:
- Plates: Sheared or various cut edge options
- Sheet/Strip: Sheared or slit edges
Chemical Composition:
Alloys must conform to limits for nickel, chromium, iron, molybdenum, copper, manganese, cobalt, carbon, tungsten, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, columbium, tantalum, and titanium.Mechanical Property Requirements:
- Tensile strength
- Yield strength
- Elongation
- Hardness (Rockwell, informative only)
Dimensional Tolerances:
Thickness, width, length, squareness, and flatness as specified and referenced in ASTM B906.Marking and Certification:

Applications
The materials specified in ASTM B582 are widely used in sectors that demand high corrosion resistance and robust mechanical properties. Typical applications include:
- Chemical processing equipment: Storage tanks, heat exchangers, and piping systems where resistance to aggressive chemicals is critical.
- Energy and power generation: Components in boiler and pressure vessel construction, especially when subject to corrosive environments.
- Petrochemical and refining industries: For equipment subjected to harsh chemical exposure and varying pressures.
- Marine engineering: Structural parts, assemblies, and fixtures exposed to seawater and saline atmospheres.
- Pollution control and environmental equipment: Scrubber systems, flue-gas desulfurization, and wastewater processing infrastructure.
- Pharmaceutical and food processing: Where non-reactive surfaces and contamination resistance are vital.
The standard is particularly beneficial when specifying materials that must maintain performance in environments where typical steel alloys would corrode or fail.
Related Standards
- ASTM B906: General requirements for flat-rolled nickel and nickel alloys plate, sheet, and strip. Referenced for additional dimensional and testing requirements.
- ASME SB-582: The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code equivalent for pressure-related applications.
- UNS Designations (ASTM E527, SAE J1086): Numbering system for metals and alloys, ensuring consistent identification.
- Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Compliance with safety, health, and environmental practices is mandatory when using these materials.
By following ASTM B582, organizations ensure they are selecting, testing, and purchasing nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum-copper alloy plate, sheet, and strip that meet proven standards for quality and performance in challenging, corrosive conditions.
