ASTM A890 Grade 3A Duplex Stainless Steel- Leesh Sand Casting Material
ASTM A890 Grade 3A (UNS J93371, ACI CD6MN) is a 25Cr-5Ni-Mo-N cast duplex stainless steel.
ASTM A890/A890M is the American standard for corrosion-resistant cast iron-chromium-nickel-molybdenum duplex (austenitic + ferritic) stainless steel. Grade 3A is a classic grade under this specification, equivalent to ACI CD6MN and UNS J93371, and also complies with ASTM A995 Grade 3A casting requirements.
