This report is one of a current series of ASTM Special Technical Publications summarizing properties of alloys at high temperatures. These are prepared under the auspices of the Data and Publications Panel of the ASTM-ASME Joint Committee on Effect of Temperature on the Properties of Metals. A Subcommittee for Survey of Strength of Weldments canvassed organizations known to have creep-rupture testing facilities for tensile, rupture and creep data from weld-deposited metal and cross-weld specimens to be compiled as this report. Data presented originated with the following organizations: Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corp. Arcos Corp. American Society for Testing Materials “Elevated-Temperature Properties of Stainless Steels”, (1952) ASTM STP No. 124. “Compilation of Available High Temperature Creep Characteristics of Metals and Alloys”, pp. 98-101 (1938), ASTM STP No. 37.
