14、ion isheld to closest limits; and it is subject to rigid tests to ensureuniformity. Grade A is available with three degrees of harden-ability, namely, shallow hardening, regular hardening, and deephardening.3.1.2.2 Grade C is sometimes referred to as Regular orStandard. It is intended for applicatio

15、ns that do not requirecontrolled hardenability and where some latitude in uniformityis permissible.4.

When width and thickness differ,each dimension carries its individual allowance and tolerance in accor-dance with the tabulation: also, the ID and OD take their respectiveallowances and tolerances. When f

42、orgings are ordered, the purchasershould state whether the sizes are the forged or the finished sizes. Theminimum sizes ordered for forgings should be the finished sizes plusallowances for machining; and the ordered forged sizes are subject toapplicable tolerances10.2 Out-of-round tolerances for rou

45、and shape shall be considered a lot and must conform tothe provisions of this specification.13. Inspection13.1 When specified in the purchase order, the inspectorrepresenting the purchaser shall have access to the materialsubject to inspection for the purpose of witnessing the selectionof samples, p

46、reparation of test pieces, and performance of thetests. For such tests, the inspector shall have the right toindicate the pieces from which samples will be selected.Otherwise, the seller shall report to the purchaser, or hisrepresentative, the results of the chemical analysis and thephysical and mec
