1、Designation: B792 09Standard Specification forZinc Alloys in Ingot Form for Slush Casting1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B792; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number
2、 in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers commercial zinc alloys iningot form for remelting for the manufacture of castings fromthe alloys as specified and
3、designated as shown in Table 1.1.2 Slush casting alloys are used primarily for the manufac-ture of hollow castings such as lighting fixtures, lamp bases,and small statues.1.3 This specification covers two zinc alloys which arespecified and designated as follows:UNS ASTMZ34510 Slush Casting Alloy AZ3
4、0500 Slush Casting Alloy B1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesaf
5、ety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to become familiarwith all hazards including those identified in the appropriateMaterial Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/materialas provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriatesafe

16、anufacturers standard,4.1.4 Specification number and date,4.1.5 Source inspection (Section 7), and4.1.6 Marking (Section 9).5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 The alloys may be made by any approved process.5.2 The material covered by this specification shall be ofuniform quality and shall be free from
17、dross, slag, or otherharmful contamination. The ingot shall also be reasonably freeof surface corrosion and adhering foreign matter.6. Chemical Requirements6.1 LimitsThis alloy shall conform to the requirements asto chemical composition prescribed in Table 1. Conformanceshall be determined by the pr
18、oducer by analyzing samplestaken at the time the ingots are made. If the producer hasdetermined the chemical composition of the metal during thecourse of manufacture, he shall not be required to sample andanalyze the finished product.6.2 In case of dispute, the following requirements shallapply:6.2.
19、1 Number of SamplesSamples for verification ofchemical composition shall be taken as follows:6.2.1.1 If the ingots are shipped in carload lots of the samealloy, not less than five ingots shall be taken at random fromthe carload for sampling. If the shipment is less than a carloadlot, one sample ingo
20、t shall be taken for each 10 000 lb (4 500kg) or fraction thereof. When it is deemed necessary, a samplemay be taken from each melt of 1 000 lb (450 kg) or more.6.3 Methods of SamplingSamples from ingots for deter-mination of chemical composition shall be taken in accordancewith one of the following
21、 methods:6.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from thematerial by drilling, sawing, milling, turning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pieces to obtain weight of preparedsample not less than 100 g. Sampling shall be in accordancewith Practice E88.6.3.2 By agreement, an optional met
22、hod of sampling foranalysis may be by melting together representative portions ofeach ingot selected, and then sampling the liquid composite bycasting suitable specimens for either spectrographic or chemi-cal analysis.6.3.3 Sample may also be in the form of a separately castspectrographic specimen t
23、aken from the same pour used to castthe ingot.6.4 Method of AnalysisThe determination of chemicalcomposition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemi-cal (Test Methods E536), suitable spectrochemical methodsISO 3815-1 or ISO 3815-2, or other methods. In case ofdispute, the results should pref
24、erably be secured by TestMethods E536, ISO 3815-1 or ISO 3815-2 and shall be thebasis of acceptance.7. Source Inspection7.1 If the purchaser desires that his representative inspect orwitness the inspection and testing of the product prior toshipment, such agreement shall be made by the purchaser and
25、producer or supplier as part of the contract or purchase order.7.2 When such inspection or witness of inspection andtesting is agreed upon, the producer or supplier shall afford thepurchasers representative all reasonable facilities to satisfyhim that the product meets the requirements of this speci
26、fica-tion. Inspection and tests shall be conducted so there is nounnecessary interference with the producers operations.8. Rejection and Rehearing8.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements of thisspecification may be rejected. Rejection should be reported tothe producer or supplier promp
27、tly and in writing. In case ofdissatisfaction with the results of the test, the producer orsupplier may make claim for a rehearing. If the rehearingestablishes that the material does not conform to the require-ments of this specification, as much of the rejected originalmaterial as possible shall be
28、 returned to the producer orsupplier.9. Identification Marking9.1 All ingots shall be properly marked for identificationwith the producers name or brand.9.2 Each bundle or skid shall be identified with the produc-ers heat, lot, or other identification mark.9.3 Each ingot, bundle or skid shall be mar
29、ked with theappropriate Color Code for the alloy as per North AmericanRequirements in Practice B908.10. Preparation for Delivery10.1 PackagingUnless otherwise specified, the ingot shallbe packaged to provide adequate protection during normalhandling and transportation. Each package shall contain onl
