REQUIREMENTS3.1 General Requirements3.1.1 Traceability3.1.1.1 Source of ProductionMaterial shall be traceable to source of production (e.g., producer name and heat number). This trac
28、eability shall be maintained throughout the metal production process (including melting of ingot, conversion to billet, production of metal stock, warehousing, and distribution). Material, regardless of form, that cannot be traced back to its producer shall not be certified as compliant to this AS.3
29、.1.1.2 Product Size and Grain OrientationProducers, distributors, and purchasers shall maintain traceability to producers heat and lot, product size, and corresponding grain orientation (refer to 3.1.7).3.1.2 Responsibility for CertificationThe producer is the organization responsible for operations
30、 performed by the processing and testing entities, but it is not required that all or any processing and testing be performed in house by the producer. The producer takes responsibility that the material meets the specification. Whenever the material owner authorizes thermo-mechanical processing to
31、change the certified material gauge/condition/specification, they become the “Producer“ and are responsible for the testing and certification to that new dimension/condition/specification.3.1.2.1 The requirements of 3.2.4 apply when heat treatment is the only subsequent process performed (see 3.1.4,
32、 3.3.5, and 3.3.5.1).3.1.3 Revision of Material CertificationOnly the producer that created a material certification document can amend that document (e.g., amend a material certification to an alternate revision).3.1.4 Additional Heat TreatmentAfter product is certified to comply with an AMS, it is
33、 permitted to perform heat treatment that results in compliance with a different AMS material specification. Heat treatment processes shall be in accordance with the applicable AMS. All acceptance tests of the applicable material specification shall be performed in the final heat treat condition, ex
34、cept that the following are not required to be re-tested: composition, macrostructure, and ultrasonic. A report shall document processes and test results and shall certify compliance with the different AMS. The material owner shall coordinate the heat treatment, generate a new material certification
35、, and take responsibility for compliance. (Refer to 3.3.5.)SAE INTERNATIONAL AS6279A Page 5 of 123.1.4.1 Applicable to titanium and titanium alloys only: Hydrogen content shall be tested in the final heat treat condition after chemical processing (e.g., pickling, etching, chemical milling), hot-work
36、ing, or heat treatment of the product.3.1.5 Material Substitution3.1.5.1 Product form shall not be substituted, unless specifically authorized in writing by the cognizant engineering organization.3.1.5.2 Altering the produced and certified short transverse (ST) gauge (e.g., thickness, diameter) is c
37、onsidered a material substitution and is prohibited unless specifically authorized in the material specification or flowed down as a requirement by the cognizant engineering organization.3.1.5.3 Requirements applicable to produced size dimensions (2.2.17) versus supplied cut size dimensions are prov
38、ided in 3.3.6.3.1.6 Dimensional LimitsWhen product gauge (i.e., thickness, diameter, etc.) establishes the requirements for tensile properties or other properties required by technical requirements (e.g., Section 3) of the material specification, the size shall be determined by the nominal size cert
39、ified by the producer. 3.1.7 Grain Orientation Requirements3.1.7.1 Grain Nomenclature (e.g., ST, LT, and L) shall be assigned by the producer and maintained by distributors and subsequent purchasers to the applicable dimension (example: 2 inches ST x 3 inches LT x 120 inches L). For round, square, h
40、exagonal, and similar shapes, T and L are the applicable grain orientations. Other designations such as DIA, SQ, HEX, or similar are acceptable as equivalent to T.3.1.7.2 Product size and corresponding grain orientations shall be reported on certifications and reports (see Figures 5A, 5B, 5C, and 5D
41、). Dimensions shall be in inches, unless specified otherwise.3.2 Producer Requirements3.2.1 Documented PracticesThe producer shall ensure that each key operation is performed to a documented manufacturing plan in accordance with AS9100.3.2.1.1 Process control parameters are considered proprietary an
42、d may be assigned a code designation. Each variation in such parameters shall be assigned a modified code designation. Evidence of the process control shall be available for purchasers review/audit at the processors facility.3.2.2 Quality System AccreditationProducers shall be accredited to AS9100 o
43、r otherwise approved by the cognizant engineering organization.3.2.3 Inspection and Test RecordsProducer shall maintain records of inspections and tests for material certified as compliant to this AS. This data shall be available for purchasers review for a minimum of 5 years from date of shipment.S
44、AE INTERNATIONAL AS6279A Page 6 of 123.2.4 MMPDS ParticipationProducers shall identify themselves to MMPDS at a frequency not to exceed 5 years (refer to Figure 4). A copy of the email sent to the MMPDS secretariat is acceptable record of compliance with this requirement.3.3 Distributor Requirements
45、3.3.1 Quality System AccreditationDistributors shall be accredited to AS9100 or AS9120 or otherwise approved by the cognizant engineering organization.3.3.2 Each material certification received by a distributor shall be reviewed to verify that all required acceptance tests as specified in the materi
46、al specification and any additional requirements flowed down from the cognizant engineering organization are acceptable prior to shipment to the purchaser. Review of material certifications shall include examination for conformance to traceability requirements (refer to 3.1.1).3.3.3 Distributor Repo
47、rtThe distributor report shall include the items listed in Figure 1.3.3.4 Ordering Information for Purchasers to DistributorsIn addition to the details itemized in the applicable AMS material specification, the distributor shall request complete ordering information (refer to Figure 2) from the purc
48、haser.3.3.5 The material certification report that attests compliance to an AMS material specification shall not be altered and shall be created only by the producer (see 3.1.2). Distributors shall not create an AMS material certification report, unless the company is taking complete responsibility
49、as the material producer.3.3.5.1 ExceptionThe Distributor shall take responsibility as a producer when they coordinate heat treatment performed in accordance with 3.1.4.3.3.6 Distributor is permitted to perform and separately certify the following operations to satisfy requirements specified by the purchaser of the material:3.3.6.1 Distributor may straighten or level to produce straight or flat product from coil stock (i.e., produce str
