ASTM International group has recently declared that it is creating a consolidated reference guide for engineers and consultants who want to use stainless steel in transportation and construction projects.

The newly introduced ASTM International standard will help manufacturers and buyers who want to use 3D-printed stainless steel alloys, which can be made more quickly than through traditional methods.

ASTM International recently expanded its A1035 specification to include several steel chemistry compositions. With this new specification, scheduled to be published mid-July, engineers can clearly designate the mechanical properties needed to meet their design and owner requirements by calling for ASTM A1035 CL, CM or CS.

ASTM International standard presently covers bolting used in the oil & gas industries for offshore drilling platforms, sour gas service, in expanders and compressors in pipeline service, in power generation facilities and in heat exchanger and cryogenic applications.
