ASTM A105 and ASTM A105N are both specifications for carbon steel forgings used in piping applications, but there are some differences. Here's a quick overview:
**ASTM A105:** This specification covers flanges, fittings, valves, and similar parts for use in pressure Specifies standards for forged carbon steel piping parts, including: Ambient conditions and higher operating temperatures of the system.
**ASTM A105N:** The suffix "N" indicates that these materials are normalized. Normalization is a heat treatment process that refines the grain size and improves the mechanical properties of the material.
**ASTM A105:** The standard A105 material is typically supplied in the as-forged condition, and it may or may not undergo additional heat treatment processes.
**ASTM A105N:** The "N" designation indicates that the material is normalized, implying that it has undergone a heat treatment process to improve its mechanical properties.
**ASTM A105:** The mechanical properties are specified without any mandatory heat treatment.
**ASTM A105N:** The normalization process is intended to improve the mechanical properties of the material and provide better strength and impact resistance.
It is important to note that specifications and requirements may vary depending on the specific version or revision of the ASTM standard. Always refer to the latest edition of the relevant ASTM standard for the most accurate and up-to-date information. If you are working on a specific project or application, we recommend referring to the project specifications or contacting a materials engineer to ensure that the correct material is selected for the intended use conditions. .
It is the same, the N referes to Normalization.
The ASTM A105 is the Standard Specification for Carbon Steel Forgings for Piping Applications. It will tell you everything you need to know the standards.
Simply, A105 is an ASTM standard for a ratedsteel where SA105 is the ASME standard for (nominally the same) rated steel. Basically, they are the same, although SA105 has additional applications beyond A105 according to ASME standards.

The only difference between ASTM composite toe and ASTM steel toe footwear is the material they are made from. They both meet the same performance specification.
ASTM A105N is different from A105. The A105 is classed "as forged" as opposed to A105N where the 'N' stands for normalized i.e. it has been heat treated to remove the internal stresses caused by casting, forming etc. If a customer specifically asks for A105N then it will be for a good reason. The normalizing heat treatment will ensure the A105N has superior properties to that of the A105. The 'N' is not a category code, the A105 should be normalized if intended for use below -1 C. There are API regulations that go further into it that you should read up on, primarily API RP14E. Hope this helps

ASTM A105 - For ambient- and higher-temperature service in pressure systems. ASTM A350 - intended primarily for low-temperature service and requiring notch toughness testing.
yes, we can use A105 instead of WCB. WCB is the casting grade while the A105 is equivalent forged grade.
