TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 3.1 General 3.1.1 Omission from this specification of confirmatory tests of certain material properties or attributes controlled by the applicable material specification does not relieve the vendor of responsibility for furnishing products that con
12、form in all respects to the applicable material specification. 3.1.2 In event of conflict between requirements specified herein and requirements of a particular material specification, requirements of the material specification shall take precedence. 3.2 Responsibility for Tests The vendor of the pr
13、oduct shall supply all samples for vendors tests and shall be responsible for the performance of all required tests. Results of such tests shall be reported to the purchaser as required by the applicable material specification.3.3 Detail Requirements 3.3.1 Lot A lot shall be as defined in 3.3.1.1 or
14、 3.3.1.2, the applicable definition being as specified in Table 2 for the type of test andtype of product being tested. 3.3.1.1 A lot shall be restricted to the product of a single heat. 3.3.1.1.1 A heat shall be all steel melted in a single furnace charge. For consumable electrode remelted steel, a
15、 heat shall be all consumable electrode remelted ingots processed from steel or alloy originally melted as a single furnace charge. 3.3.1.2 A lot shall be a mill form of one shape, condition, and nominal cross-sectional dimensions from a single heat, processed in accordance with 3.3.1.2.1 or 3.3.1.2
16、.2. 3.3.1.2.1 Sequentially heat treated during a 24-hour period in a continuous furnace with no interruption in operations and no change in furnace temperature, charge rate, or racking pattern. 3.3.1.2.1.1 Time may be extended to 120 hours for austenitic, non-hardenable grades. 3.3.1.2.1.2 The nomin
17、al cross-sectional dimension restriction may be disregarded when multiple sizes are heat treated in a single batch or during an 8-hour period in a continuous furnace operating at a constant speed. In such cases, tensile and macrostructure testing shall be performed on the size having the greatest eq
18、uivalent round cross-section. The equivalent round cross-section shall be determined by multiplying wall thickness of tubing and thickness or diameter of solids by the shape factors shown in Table 1. TABLE 1 - SHAPE FACTORS Product Shape Factor TubingRoundsHexagonsSquaresFlats2.01.01.11.251.503.3.1.
19、2.2 Sequentially heat treated during a 48-hour period in one or a series of batch-type furnace loads provided the loads are processed in the same furnace or same series of furnaces, and at the same power setting, set temperature, soak time, quench parameters, and racking pattern.

21、e 2 and as follows: 3.3.2.1 Composition 3.3.2.1.1 The reported composition of the steel or alloy subjected to a single melting operation shall be that of a sample taken immediately before or during the pouring of a heat. Analysis results of the sample shall be within the composition limits establish
22、ed by the material specification, excluding any consideration of product check analysis.3.3.2.1.1.1 If the sample of 3.3.2.1.1 is lost, a new sample shall be taken from the semi-finished or finished product. 3.3.2.1.2 For remelted steels and alloys, analyses shall be obtained from the remelted ingot
23、 or product thereof in accordance with a sampling plan that will allow the reported composition of the steel to conform to one of the following options: The average of all ingots in the remelted heat. The average of the ingots directly involved with the order. The average of samples representing the
24、 first and last usable metal poured from the heat. The analysis of each ingot involved with the order. 3.3.2.1.2.1 If an average for an element is reported, each analysis of the element shall fall within the composition limits established by the material specification; each individual analysis may i
25、nclude the applicable product check analysis allowance, but no average shall include analyses that are both above and below the compositional limits.3.3.2.1.2.2 When the remelting method is vacuum-arc remelting and the applicable material specification establishes minimum values for carbon and/or ma
26、nganese, these elements shall be determined and reported for each remelted ingot. 3.3.2.1.2.3 The heat analysis may be used for reporting the analyses of those elements governed only by a maximum in the material specification if the analysis is within the composition limits and the element routinely
27、 decreases or remains constant during remelting. 3.3.2.1.2.4 Analyses of samples made prior to discard need not be reported. 3.3.2.2 Tensile Specimen Orientation, Location, and Size Tensile specimens conforming to ASTM E 8/E 8M shall be cut from the semi-finished or finished product in the direction
28、 indicated in the following paragraphs, and shall be cut from the locations and to the sizes specified. The sample shall consist of one or more sections of the product selected to represent a specific location or locations with respect to the order of pouring of the selected ingot or ingots and with
29、 respect to the location within the ingot. 3.3.2.2.1 Sheet, Strip, and Plate 3.3.2.2.1.1 Orientation Specimens shall be taken with the axis of the specimen perpendicular to the direction of rolling from widths 9 inches (229 mm) and over and parallel to the direction of rolling from widths under 9 in
30、ches (229 mm).
