1、Designation:B44011 Designation: B440 12Standard Specification forCadmium1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B440; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses i

2、ndicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers refined cadmium metal in slab, ball or stick form.1.2 ToxicityWarning: Soluble and respirable forms of cadmium may be harmful to hu

3、man health and the environment incertain forms and concentrations. Therefore, ingestion and inhalation of cadmium should be controlled under the appropriateregulations of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Cadmium-containing alloys and coatings shouldnot be used on articl

4、es that will contact food or beverages, or for dental and other equipment that is normally inserted in the mouth.Similarly, if articles using cadmium-containing alloys or coatings are welded, soldered, brazed, ground, “flame-cut,” or otherwiseheated during fabrication, adequate ventilation must be p

15、rious forms and sizes of commercially available cadmium are:Form Shape and SizeBall Spherical, about 2 in. diameterBall Spherical, about 2 in. (50.8 mm) in diameterStick Bar, about 9 312 338 in. or stick about 9 312 in. in diameter.Stick Bar, about 9 312 338 in. (229 3 9.5 mm) or stick about 9 312in

(229 3 12.7 mm) in diameter.Slab Plate or bar, varying in weight from about 20 to 60 lbSlab Plate or bar, varying in weight from about 20 to 60 lb (9.0 to 27.2kg)7.2 Cadmium may be ordered in other shapes and sizes as mutually agreed.8. Workmanship, Finish and Appearance8.1 The supplier shall use

17、care to have the quality of each lot of cadmium as uniform as possible.8.2 The cadmium shall be reasonably free of adhering foreign material.9. Sampling for Chemical Analysis9.1 The producer may obtain representative samples from the molten metal during casting, and all or part of these samples mayb

18、e cast into shapes suitable for analysis.9.2 For sampling cadmium in slab form a minimum of two pieces shall be selected for shipments of 500 lb (227 kg) or less,three pieces for shipments of 500 to 1000 lb (227 to 454 kg), and one additional piece for each additional 1000 lb (454 kg) or partthereof

19、. For cadmium in ball or stick form a minimum of four pieces shall be selected for shipments of 500 lb (227 kg) or less,six pieces for shipments of 500 to 1000 lb (227 to 454 kg) and two additional pieces for each additional 1000 lb (454 kg) or partthereof.9.3 The selected pieces shall be cleaned to

20、 rid the surface of extraneous material and then sawed, drilled, or milled, care beingtaken to avoid errors due to segregation within the pieces. The saw, drill, or cutter used shall be thoroughly cleaned. No lubricantshall be used in the operation, and the sawings, drillings, or millings shall be t

21、reated with a magnet to remove any particles of steelintroduced in the taking of the samples. Equal weights of the sawings, drillings, or millings shall be taken from each piece sampled,and then combined into one sample and thoroughly mixed. The total sample weight shall be not less than 300 g.9.4 I

22、n those cases where the cadmium involved is in some other shape or form that does not lend itself to any of the abovemethods, the sampling procedure shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer or seller and purchaser. The method of 9.1 offersmany advantages.9.5 Aspects of sampling and sample prepa

The manufacturer or seller shallbe given 2 weeks from the receipt of the complaint to investigate his records and shall either agree to satisfy the claim, obtain asample of the metal for investigation,

28、 or send a representative to the plant of the purchaser.12.2 No claims shall be considered unless the minimum number of samples of unused cadmium shapes can be shown to suchrepresentative.12.3 In a question of chemical composition, a sample shall be drawn by representatives of both parties in accord

29、ance withSection 10.
