REQUEST FOR PROCESS INFORMATION
DEAR SIR,
I REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY INFORM THE PROCESS / MANUFACTURING DETAILS OF ASTM A380
& ASTM A967. YOU HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION DETAILS WHICH ARE VERY HELPFUL.
KINDLY DO THE NEEDFUL AND OBLIGE.
REGARDS,
SANYOGITA SHRIVASTAVA
- KALYAN, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA
ASTM A380
is available from the ASTM website, downloaded immediately as a pdf file.
ASTM A967 is also. Neither is really a 'cookbook'; they give some information and testing procedures. If you are claiming to work to these documents, you really need to have a copy on hand.
Good luck!

SANYOGITA:
It is important to know that ASTM A380
and ASTM A967 are totally different kinds of documents. ASTM A380
is Recommended Practices (NOT a specification!) ASTM A967 is a specification for passivation of stainless steel.
