The product shall not show a layer of complete (ferrite) or par

35、tial decarburization exceeding the limits of Tables 3 or 4. 3.3.4.7 Hardness Traverse Method The total depth of decarburization shall be determined by a traverse method using microhardness testing in accordance with ASTM E384, at a magnification not exceeding 100X, conducted on a hardened but untemp

36、ered specimen protected during heat treatment to prevent changes in surface carbon content. Tempering is generally not recommended, but if tempered, the tempering temperature shall be not higher than 300 F (149 C). Depth of decarburization is defined as the perpendicular distance from the surface to

37、 the depth under that surface where there is not further increase in hardness. Such measurements shall be far enough away from any adjacent surface to be uninfluenced by any decarburization on the adjacent surface. Acceptance shall be as listed in Tables 3 or 4. 3.3.4.8 When determining the depth of

38、 decarburization, it is permissible to disregard local areas provided the decarburization of such areas does not exceed the limits of Tables 3 or 4 by more than 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) and the width is 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) or less. 3.3.4.9 In case of dispute, the total depth of decarburization determin

39、ed using the microhardness traverse method shall govern. 3.4 Quality The product, as received by purchaser, shall be uniform in quality and condition, sound, and free from foreign materials and from imperfections detrimental to usage of the product. 3.4.1 Bars and mechanical tubing ordered hot rolle

40、d or cold drawn, or ground, turned or polished, shall, after removal of the standard stock removal allowance in accordance with AS1182, be free from seams, laps, tears, and cracks open to the machined, ground, turned, or polished surface. 3.4.2 Grain flow of die forgings, except in areas that contai

41、n flash-line end grain, shall follow the general contour of the forgings showing no evidence of reentrant grain flow. 3.5 Tolerances 3.5.1 Bars In accordance with AMS2251. 3.5.2 Mechanical Tubing In accordance with AMS2253.
