forged — ASTM Equivalent

Holding a datasheet that specifies forged (CW6MC / Alloy 625)? The valve-grade equivalent, its properties, and certified supply of the matching ASTM grade.

What is the ASTM equivalent of forged?

forged is a CW6MC / Alloy 625 designation corresponding to ASTM A494 CW6MC / CW12MW (Hastelloy C-276 / Inconel 625 Cast) for industrial valve service. The full grade data is below - equivalence is by nominal chemistry and mechanical class, so confirm composition and heat-treat condition against the governing standard before substituting in critical service.
