Annex A, for information only. The grades not listed in Table A.1 are weldable without pre-heating and post
treatment in general, but for complex castings and great wall thicknesses a pre-heating and post-stress relief
annealing may be applied due to the low ductility at room temperature of these grades. Procedure is left to the
discretion of the manufacturer.
