What is WCC material grade?

WCC stands for “Wrought Carbon” with Grade C. Sometimes you can think first letter “C” as casting. There are 3 kind of Grade A, B & C which define the ductility & tensile strength. Grade WCC is having very good yield strength as compare to Grade WCA and Grade WCB.

What is WCC valve?

Grade WCC is covered by ASTM A216 standard, which specification covers carbon steel castings for valves, fittings, flanges and other pressure-containing parts for high temperature service and the quality required for assembly with other castings or wrought steel parts by fusion welding.

What is ASTM A352 LCC?

ASTM A352 Gr. LCC Valves are low temperature operating carbon steel valves. These have good strength, wear and tear resistance and mechanical properties. There are different types of valves made under this grade of material.

Which is better WCC or WCB?

ASTM A216 WCC has a slightly higher pressure/ temperature rating than A216 WCB as it has a higher yield strength and a slightly higher manganese content….Chemical Composition A105/WCB/WCC/LF2.

ELEMENT & PROPERTIES	CHROMIUM MAX
ASTM A105	0.30A,B
ASTM A216	Gr. WCB	0.50
Gr. WCC	0.50
ASTM A350	LF2	0.30A,B

Is WCC cast iron?

ASTM A216 WCC is NOT cast iron – it is a weldable grade of carbon steel. (ASTM A216 = Standard Specification for Steel Castings, Carbon, Suitable for Fusion Welding, for High-Temperature Service).

What is the difference between LCC and LCB?

Both ASTM grade LCB steel and ASTM grade LCC steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the normalized and tempered condition. Their average alloy composition is basically identical. For each property being compared, the top bar is ASTM grade LCB steel and the bottom bar is ASTM grade LCC steel.

Is A105 cast or forged?

A105 valve can be forged by plastic deformation to improve the internal structure, good mechanical properties and even grain size. WCB valves by cast liquid forming that can cause tissue segregation and defects and can be used to cast complex workpieces.

Is WCB stainless steel?

Both AISI 304 stainless steel and ASTM A216 grade WCB are iron alloys. They have 71\% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 29 material properties with values for both materials.

What is A216 WCB material?

A216 WCB is carbon steel castings for valves, flanges, fittings, or other pressure-containing parts for high-temperature service and of quality suitable for assembly with other castings or wrought-steel parts by fusion welding.
