In Bibliography of NACE Nstandard ASTM A 182 standard is referred . For Austenitic Stainless Steel Flange ( F 304L , F 316L .) with additional requirement of NACE MR 0103 ,NACE MR 0175 and ISO 15156 , we assume that heat treatment as per clause 7.3.1( direct quenching after hot working at specified temperature ) is acceptable , Kindly let us know whether our assumsion is acceptable to NACE or not?
In general practice forged flanges of above said material are quench in water tank subsequent to the forging , as it considered solution annealing is it correct?
