16、 not available,finished material representing the heat may be product tested.The product analysis allowance beyond the limits of thespecified ladle analysis shall be within the limits for productanalyses specified in Table 2.5.4.1 An analysis may be made by the purchaser from asample taken from a fi

Tensile Requirements6.1 Properties:6.1.1 The material as represented by a tension test specimenshall conform to the tensile properties prescribed in Table 3.6.1.2 T

18、he yield point prescribed in Table 3 may be deter-mined by the drop of the beam or halt of the gage of the testingmachine, or by use of dividers. Where a definite yield point isnot exhibited, the yield strength method defined in 6.1.3 shallbe used.6.1.3 The yield strength prescribed in Table 3 shall

19、 bedetermined by a strain gage or extensometer reading to 0.0002in. (0.005 mm). Yield strength may be defined as the stress at0.5 % total strain under load or as the stress at 0.2 % offset. Themethod described in Test Methods and Definitions A 370 shallbe followed. After the yield point has been pas

20、sed, theextensometer may then be removed and the test continued todetermine the tensile strength.6.2 Test SpecimensThe tension test specimen shall betaken from the middle of the head at the center of a finishedjoint bar, and shall be machined to the form and dimensions fora standard round tension te

For microalloyed bars,

22、 one tension test shall bemade from each heat or cast.6.4 Retests:6.4.1 If the results of the tension test of any test lot forquenched bars do not conform to the specified requirements,the manufacturer may retreat such lot not more than twice, inwhich case two additional tension tests shall be made

23、fromsuch lot, and both shall conform to the requirements specifiedin Table 3.6.4.2 If the results of the tension test for microalloyed barsdo not conform to the specified requirements, a retest may bemade on two random samples from the heat or cast, and bothshall conform to the requirements specifie

24、d in Table 3.6.4.3 If any test specimen fails because of mechanicalreasons such as failure of testing equipment or improperspecimen preparation, it may be discarded and another speci-men taken.7.
