Ordering Information4.1 It is the purchasers responsibility to specify in thepurchase o

25、rder all ordering information necessary to purchasethe needed material. Examples of such information include, butare not limited to, the following:4.1.1 Quantity,4.1.2 Size and pressure class or dimensions, (tolerances andsurface finishes should be included),4.1.3 Specification number with grade or

26、class, or both, asapplicable, and year/date,4.1.4 Supplementary requirements, and4.1.5 Additional requirements.5. Melting Process5.1 Unless otherwise specified in the individual ProductSpecification, the steel shall be fully killed.5.2 If a specific type of melting is required by the purchaser,it sh

27、all be stated on the purchase order.5.3 The primary melting may incorporate separate degas-sing or refining and may be followed by secondary melting,such as electroslag remelting or vacuum remelting. If second-ary melting is employed, the heat shall be defined as all of theingot remelted from a sing

28、le primary heat.5.4 Steel may be cast in ingots or may be strand cast. Whensteel of different grades is sequentially strand cast, identifica-tion of the resultant transition material is required. The steelproducer shall remove the transition material by an establishedprocedure that positively separa

29、tes the grades.5.5 A sufficient discard shall be made from the sourcematerial to secure freedom from injurious porosity and shrink-age, and undue segregation.6. Manufacture6.1 The finished part shall be manufactured from a forgingthat is as close as practicable to the finished size or shape.Alternat

Thechemical analysis thus determined shall conform to the re
