QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The vendor of forgings shall supply all samples for vendors tests and shall be responsible for the perfo
29、rmance of all required tests. Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure that the forgings conform to specified requirements. 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptance Tests Composition (3.1), tensile properties (3.3.1), stress corros
30、ion resistance (3.3.2), and ultrasonic soundness (3.4.1) are acceptance tests and, except for composition, shall be performed on each lot. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4323C Page 5 of 6 4.2.2 Periodic Tests Stress-corrosion cracking resistance (3.3.2.2) is a periodic test and shall be performed at a frequen
31、cy selected by the vendor unless frequency of testing is specified by purchaser. 4.3 Sampling and Testing Shall be in accordance with AMS2355. 4.4 Reports The vendor of forgings shall furnish with each shipment a report stating that the forgings conform to the chemical composition and ultrasonic ins
32、pection and showing the numerical results of tests on each inspection lot to determine conformance to the other acceptance test requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, inspection lot number(s), AMS4323C, size, and quantity. The report shall also identify the producer, the
33、product form, and the size of the mill product. 4.4.1 When the product size is outside the range covered by Table 2, the report shall contain a statement to that effect. 4.5 Resampling and Retesting Shall be in accordance with AMS2355. 5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY 5.1 Identification Shall be in accor
34、dance with AMS2808. 5.2 Protective Treatment Product shall be protected from damage during storage and shipment by a method determined by vendor unless specified by purchaser. An example of a typical protective method includes but is not limited to oiling of the surface. 5.3 Packaging The product sh
35、all be prepared for shipment in accordance with ASTM B660 and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to the handling, packaging, and transportation of the product to ensure carrier acceptance and safe delivery. 6. ACKNOWLEDGMENT A vendor shall mention this specification numbe
36、r and its revision letter in all quotations and when acknowledging purchase orders. 7. REJECTIONS Forgings not conforming to this specification, or to modifications authorized by purchaser, will be subject to rejection. 8. NOTES 8.1 A change bar (l) located in the left margin is for the convenience
37、of the user in locating areas where technical revisions, not editorial changes, have been made to the previous issue of this document. An (R) symbol to the left of the document title indicates a complete revision of the document, including technical revisions. Change bars and (R) are not used in ori
38、ginal publications, nor in documents that contain editorial changes only. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4323C Page 6 of 6 8.2 Hardness should be not lower than 135 HB/10/500 or 140 HB/10/1000, determined in accordance with ASTM E10. Hardness has been used to verify that forgings are properly processed, but a
39、n “out-of-range hardness number” is not always indicative of forgings with “out-of-specification tensile strength”. Further analysis including material composition verification, heat treat process parameter review, and/or tensile property measurement on forgings with out-of-range hardness may be nec
40、essary. 8.3 Actual solution and precipitation heat treatments may be proprietary. 8.4 Terms used in AMS are clarified in ARP1917. 8.5 Dimensions and properties in inch/pound units and the Fahrenheit temperatures are primary; dimensions and properties in SI units and the Celsius temperatures are show
41、n as the approximate equivalents of the primary units and are presented only for information. 8.6 Purchase documents should specify not less than the following: AMS4323C Size or part number of forgings desired Property and acceptance requirements from the cognizant engineering organization applicable to sizes outside the range listed in 1.1 Quantity of forgings desired. 8.7 Similar Specifications AMS-A-22771 is listed for information only and shall not be construed as an acceptable alternate unless all requirements of this AMS are met.
