Mechanical Properties5.1 The contract or order may specify ultimate tensilestrength, elongation, microhardness (Knoop or Vickers), hard-ness (Rockwell

10、 or Rockwell Superficial), or a combination ofthese mechanical properties as temper criterion. If the contractor order does not specify a temper criterion, then the criterionfor temper designation will be ultimate tensile strength.5.2 The material shall conform to the mechanical propertiesshown in T

17、nd Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.17.1.3 All tests shall be conducted at room temperature, 65 to85F (18 to 29C).7.2 Chemical analysis shall be performed by spectrochemi-cal or wet analysis methods. Fire assay is an acceptablealterna

18、tive method for gold analysis.7.3 The stress corrosion test shall be performed as follows:7.3.1 Immerse test samples in a test solution of the follow-ing proportions for 30 min at room temperature:7.3.1.1 Ferric Chloride (Fe Cl3)20 g,7.3.1.2 Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) (conc)80 mL, and7.3.1.3 Distilled

19、Water250 mL.7.3.2 Remove the samples, thoroughly rinse, and dry. Dis-card the solution; do not reuse.7.3.3 Examine for cracks visible to the naked eye.7.3.4 If no cracks are visible, carry out the followingprocedure:7.3.4.1 Compress the ring or tube samples with pliers overa mandrel whose outside di

20、ameter is approximately one halfthe inside diameter of the ring.7.3.4.2 Bend wire, rod or tube or strip samples 180 arounda pin whose diameter is approximately five times the wire orstrip thickness.7.3.4.3 The material shall be considered free of stresscorrosion if the samples do not exhibit spontan

21、eous cracking,and if the samples do not show a greater tendency to crack thansamples that have not been immersed in the test solution buthave been compressed in the same manner.8.
