SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the search for reliable TTT (Time-Temperature-Transformation) diagrams specifically for SA-516 70 steel. Participants emphasize that manufacturers and suppliers of metals typically provide essential information, including TTT diagrams. The conversation highlights the need for a centralized resource for heat treatment plans, particularly for post-weld heat treatment applications. Users express frustration with ineffective Google searches for this specialized data.
