16、c to This Standard:3.2.1 capable ofthe term capable of as used in thisspecification means that the test need not be performed by theproducer of the material. However, should testing by thepurchaser establish that the material does not meet theserequirements, the material shall be subject to rejectio

20、tion, packaging, and packing required (19.3), and4.2.4 Whether certification of the material by the producer isrequired (Section 20).5. Manufacture5.1 The products covered by this specification shall beproduced by extruding or rolling, at the option of the producer,provided that the production metho

21、d results in material thatmeets all requirements of this specification.5.2 Bars in the H12 temper shall be furnished with a rolledmill finish; bars in the H111 temper, with an as-extruded millfinish; and bars in the H112 temper, with a rolled mill finishexcept that the edges shall be as sawed.6. Res

22、ponsibility for Quality Assurance6.1 Responsibility for Inspection and TestsUnless other-wise specified in the contract or purchase order, the producer isresponsible for the performance of all inspection and testrequirements specified herein. Except as otherwise specified inthe contract or order, th

23、e producer may use his own or anyother suitable facilities for the performance of the inspectionand test requirements specified herein, unless disapproved bythe purchaser. The purchaser shall have the right to performany of the inspections and tests set forth in this specificationwhere such inspecti

24、ons are deemed necessary to assure thatmaterial conforms to prescribed requirements.6.2 Lot DefinitionAn inspection lot shall consist of anidentifiable quantity of material of the same aluminum desig-nation, temper, and thickness subjected to inspection at onetime.7. Chemical Composition Requirement

25、s7.1 The material shall conform to the composition in Table2. Conformance shall be determined by the producer byanalyzing samples taken at the time the ingots or continuouslycast bars are poured, or samples taken from the finished orsemifinished product. If the producer has determined thecomposition

26、 of the material during the course of manufacture,he shall not be required to sample and analyze the finishedproduct.NOTE 3It is standard practice in the United States aluminum industryto determine conformance to the composition limits prior to furtherprocessing of ingots into wrought products. Due

27、to the continuous natureof the process, it is not practical to keep a specific ingot analysis identifiedwith a specific quantity of finished material.7.2 Number of SamplesThe number of samples taken fordetermination of chemical composition shall be as follows:7.2.1 When samples are taken at the time

28、 the ingots arepoured, at least one sample shall be taken for each group ofingots poured simultaneously from the same source of moltenmetal.7.2.2 When samples are taken from the finished or semifin-ished product, a sample shall be taken to represent each 4000lb, or fraction thereof, in the shipment,

29、 except that not morethan one sample shall be required per piece.7.3 Methods of SamplingSamples for determination ofchemical composition shall be taken in accordance with one ofthe following methods:7.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from thematerial by drilling, sawing, milling, tur

30、ning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pieces to obtain a prepared sample ofnot less than 75 g. Sampling shall be in accordance withPractice E55.TABLE 2 Chemical Composition LimitsAElement Composition, %Silicon, max 0.10Iron, max 0.40Copper, max 0.05Manganese, max 0.01Chromium, max 0.01Zinc, max

Shouldany analysis by the producer or the purchaser establish that an Others elementexceeds the limit of Each or that the aggregate of severa

33、l Others elementsexceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered non-conforming.COther ElementsTotal shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.DThe aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 1

34、00.00 % thesum of all metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more each, roundedto the second decimal before determining the sum.B2360727.3.2 Sampling for spectrochemical analysis shall be inaccordance with Practices E 716. Samples for other methods ofanalysis shall be taken by methods su

35、itable for the form ofmaterial being analyzed and the type of analytical methodused.7.4 Methods of AnalysisThe determination of chemicalcomposition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemi-cal (Test Methods E34) or spectrochemical (Test MethodsE 607 and E 1251) methods. Other methods may be u
