The final section discusses Section II, Part A and Part B- International Material Specifications. The discussion covers the properties of ferrous and nonferrous alloys used in the design of components for the BPV and Nuclear Construction Codes. The fifth section reviews important aspects of Section II, Part D– Properties. Included in the discussion are the electrode classification system, material descriptions, welding material applications, welding material procurement, and filler metal certification. The fourth section provides the basis for the Specifications and Standards covered by Section II, Part C– Specification for Welding Rods, Electrodes, and Filler Metals, and their relations to the ANSI/AWS specifications. The discussion covers the following: Guideline on the approval of new materials under the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV) Code Submittal of Technical Inquiries to the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee and Guidelines on Multiple Marking of Materials. The next two sections discuss Code Section II, Part A– Ferrous Material Specifications and Part B– Nonferrous Material Specifications. Included in this discussion are the application of advanced materials, the revisions to the basis for setting allowable stress values, and the acceptance of Material Specifications other than those approved by ASTM. The first section of this chapter traces the chronological evolution of materials and associated technologies, from the need for materials to accommodate riveted construction to the acceptance of fusion welding as a fabrication process. This chapter presents various specifications for the materials used in the construction of boilers.
