1、Designation: B742 90 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Specification forFine Silver Electrical Contact Fabricated Material1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B742; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o

2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers fine silv

3、er grade 99.9 % infabricated form. The forms covered are tubing, rod, wire, strip,and sheet for electrical contact applications.1.2 The electrical contact properties may vary dependentupon the method of manufacture (refer to 6.3).1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standar

4、d. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this stand

5、ard to become familiarwith all hazards, including those identified in the appropriateMaterial Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/materialas provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriatesafety and health practices, and determine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.

6、2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2B413 Specification for Refined SilverB476 Specification for General Requirements for WroughtPrecious Metal Electrical Contact Materials3. Classification3.1 This specification presently defines only one grade offine silver, 99.90 % minimum silver. It differs

7、 from the Grade99.90 referred to in Specification B413 in that the chemicallimits are slightly different. The reason for this is that Speci-fication B413 refers to “refined silver in cast bar form,”whereas this Specification covers fabricated forms. The prop-erties of silver are greatly dependent up

8、on the amount and typeof elements present, up to 0.10 %.3.2 Other types of silver containing appreciably lesseramounts of impurities, and those with additives for specialpurposes, are not covered by this specification, because themechanical properties can be appreciably different.4. Ordering Informa

9、tion4.1 Orders for material under this specification shall includethe following information:4.1.1 Quantity (weight usually in troy ounces, or number ofunits).4.1.2 Name of material (fine silver).4.1.3 Temper.4.1.4 Dimensions; thickness, width, length, diameter, coilsize, or other pertinent sizes.4.1

10、.4.1 Form of Material: sheet, strip, disks, blanks, wire,shaped wire, or other.4.1.4.2 Form Furnished: flat lengths, coils, rod, straightlengths, or other.4.1.5 ASTM designation and date of issue.4.1.6 Additions to the specification and supplementary re-quirements, if required.1This specification is

General Requirements5.1 The provisions of Specification B476 shall apply to allmaterials produced to this specification.6. Manufacture6.1 The m

16、aterials used for making this product shall be ofsuch quality and purity that the finished material will conformto the requirements and properties prescribed in this specifica-tion.6.2 The material shall be produced by either hot or coldworking operations. It should be finished by such cold workinga

17、nd annealing as may be necessary to meet the propertiesspecified.6.3 After the initial shipment and approval has been made,the supplier must notify the purchaser prior to making anysignificant changes in process techniques, basic formulation, orother factors that might affect the quality or the elec

18、tricalcontact characteristics, such as weld resistance or erosion. Suchchanges in process shall be immediately brought to theattention of the purchaser for determination of the necessity forrequalification.7. Chemical Composition7.1 Material produced under this specification shall meet therequiremen

19、ts of chemical composition prescribed in Table 1.7.2 By agreement between the purchaser and the manufac-turer, analysis may be required and limits established forelements or compounds not specified in the table of chemicalcomposition.8. Mechanical Properties8.1 The material shall conform to the mech

20、anical propertiesprescribed in Table 2 or Table 3.8.2 Since it is not always possible to tension test some partsand shapes, the user and supplier should reach an agreementwith respect to the type of hardness tests and the acceptablerange that should be applicable.8.3 All test specimens shall be full

21、 size when practical.8.4 All tests shall be conducted at room temperature, 65 to85F (18 to 29C).9. Inspection and Testing9.1 All material produced to this specification shall beinspected as detailed in the provisions of Specification B476.10. Certification10.1 When specified in the purchase order or

22、 contract, aproducers or suppliers certification shall be furnished to thepurchaser that the material was manufactured, sampled, tested,and inspected in accordance with this specification and hasbeen found to meet the requirements. When specified in thepurchase order or contract, a report of the tes
