Materials and Manufacture5.1 The material may be made by any suitable process.5.2 The mater

32、ial covered by this specification shall be of uniform quality and shall be free of dross, flux, or other harmfulcontamination.Also, if the material is in shot form, it shall be sound, uniform in size, and free of a heavily oxidized surface coating,stringers, and moisture.6. Chemical Requirements6.1

33、LimitsThe material shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition prescribed in Table 1 or Table 2. Inaddition there are weight limits for zinc-base master alloys when supplied in jumbo ingot form. The weight of jumbo ingots shallconform to the requirements as prescribed in Table 3.6.2

34、 In case of dispute the following requirements shall apply:6.2.1 Number of samplesSamples for verification of chemical composition shall be taken as follows:6.2.2 If the master alloys are shipped in carload lots of the same alloy, not less than five samples shall be taken at random fromthe carload f

35、or sampling. If the shipment is in less than carload lots, the following shall apply:6.2.2.1 Aluminum-base master alloysOne sample shall be taken for each 6000 lb (2722 kg) or fraction thereof. When it isdeemed necessary, a sample may be taken from each melt of 500 lb (227 kg) or more of the alloy.6

36、.2.2.2 Zinc-base master alloysOne sample shall be taken for each 10 000 lb (4536 kg) or fraction thereof. When necessary,a sample may be taken from each melt of 1000 lb (454 kg) or more.6.2.3 A sample may consist of an ingot or bar. In the case of metal in shot form, a small representative lot of th

37、e shot may bemelted and poured to form a thin chill-cast bar approximately 14 in. (6.4 mm) thick or a suitable spectrographic mold sample. Inthe case of a jumbo ingot, the sample may be a cast spectrographic specimen taken from the same pour used to cast the jumboingots.6.3 Methods of SamplingSample

38、s for determination of chemical composition shall be taken in accordance with one of thefollowing methods:6.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from the material by drilling, sawing, milling, turning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pieces to obtain a weight of prepared sample not

39、less than 100 g. Sampling shall be in accordance withPractice E88.6.3.2 By agreement between the producer and the purchaser, other methods of sampling cast products for spectrochemical andother methods of analysis may be used. Such methods shall be suitable for the form of material being analyzed an

40、d the type ofanalytical method used.6.3.2.1 An optional method of sampling for analysis may be to melt together representative portions of each ingot selected, andthen sample the liquid composite by casting suitable specimens for spectrographic or chemical analysis, or both.6.3.2.2 Samples may also

41、be in the form of separately cast spectrographic specimens taken from the same pour used to cast theingot.6.3.3 As there is no generally accepted method for obtaining a representative sample from a jumbo ingot, the method of choicewill be as described in 6.3.2.2.6.4 Method of AnalysisThe determinati

42、on of chemical composition shall be in accordance with suitable methods.6.4.1 For aluminum-base master alloysThe determination of chemical composition shall be in accordance with suitablechemical (Test Methods E34), spectrochemical (Test Method E1251) or other methods. In case of dispute, the result

43、s of TestMethods E34 shall be the basis of acceptance.6.4.2 For zinc-base master alloysThe determination of chemical composition shall preferably be in accordance with suitablechemical (Test Method E536), ISO 3815-1, ISO 3815-2, (note: ISO 3815-2 is not specific for zinc-base master alloy, but may b

44、eused in a generic manner with suitable validation), or other methods. Because there is no specific ASTM or ISO method coveringthe composition of this zinc-base master alloy, the test method used as the basis of acceptance shall be as agreed upon betweenthe producer and purchaser.7. Size and Shape7.

45、1 Aluminum alloy hardener may be supplied in the form of shot, bar or ingot but typically is supplied as shot.7.2 Zinc-base master alloy may be supplied as ingot or jumbo ingot but is typically supplied as jumbo ingot.B327 1337.2.1 The weight of zinc master alloy jumbo ingots is important because th

46、ey are added in a fixed ratio to Special High Gradezinc jumbo ingots. The weight of jumbo ingots shall be 1200 6 50 lbs or 2400 6 75 lbs. Other sizes or weight limits, or both,may be as agreed upon by the producer and customer.8. Source Inspection8.1 See Section 9 of Specification B949.9. Rejection

47、and Rehearing9.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements of this specification may be rejected. Rejection should be reported to theproducer or supplier promptly and in writing. In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the test, the producer or supplier maymake claim for a rehearing.

48、 If the rehearing establishes that the material does not conform to the requirements of this specification,as much of the rejected original material as possible shall be returned to the producer or supplier.9.2 For additional information see Section 8 of Specification B949.10. Identification Marking

49、10.1 All shot bags, bars, ingots, or jumbo ingots shall be properly marked for identification with the producers name or brand.10.2 For additional information see Section 10 of Specification B949.11.
