ASME Section II is divided into parts; which part covers Non-Ferrous materials?

• A. Part B
• B. Part A
• C. Part C
• D. Part D

Answer: (A)

This question tests how ASME Section II is organized and where non-ferrous materials are specified. ASME Section II is split into sections that handle different families of materials and their data: ferrous materials, non-ferrous materials, welding filler metals and electrodes, and general property data. The portion dedicated to non-ferrous materials is the one titled Nonferrous Material Specifications. This section covers alloys that do not rely on iron as a primary component—such as aluminum, copper, nickel, and titanium families—and provides their chemical compositions and mechanical properties used for material selection and welding considerations. The other sections focus on ferrous materials, filler metals, or property data, so they don’t address non-ferrous materials in the same way.
