Mat

16、erials and Manufacture5.1 The material covered by this specification shall be ofuniform quality and shall be free from harmful contamination.The ingot surface shall contain a minimum of dross andadhering foreign matter.6. Chemical Requirements Chemical Requirements6.1 LimitsThe alloys shall conform

17、to the requirements asto chemical composition prescribed in Table 1. Conformanceshall be determined by the producer by analyzing samplestaken at the time the ingots are made. If the producer hasdetermined the chemical composition of the metal during thecourse of manufacture, he shall not be required

18、 to sample andanalyze the finished product.6.2 In case of dispute, the following requirements shallapply:6.2.1 Number of SamplesSamples for verification ofchemical composition shall be taken as follows:6.2.1.1 Not less than five ingots shall be taken at randomfrom each car or truckload of the same a

19、lloy for sampling.Each heat in the shipment shall be represented. If the shipmentis less than a carload lot, one sample ingot shall be taken foreach 10 000 lb (4540 kg) or fraction thereof. When it is deemednecessary, a sample may be taken from each melt of 1000 lb(454 kg) or more.6.3 Methods of Sam

20、plingSamples from ingots for deter-mination of chemical composition shall be taken in accordancewith one of the following methods:6.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from thematerial by drilling, sawing, milling, turning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pieces to obtain weight of

21、 preparedsample not less than 100 g. Sampling shall be in accordancewith Practice E88.6.3.2 By agreement, an optional method of sampling wouldbe to select, at random, ingots of the same heat, melt togetherrepresentative portions of each ingot selected, and cast a disc orsuitable sample from the liqu

22、id composite for spectrographic orchemical analysis.6.3.3 Samples for chemical analysis may also be in the formof a separately cast spectrographic disc specimen taken fromthe same pour used to cast the ingot.6.3.4 Alternate procedures for sampling and exchange ofsamples shall be agreed upon between

23、the producer and thecustomer.6.4 Method of AnalysisThe determination of chemicalcomposition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemi-cal (Test Methods E 536 or Test Methods E47for tin), suitablespectrochemical methods ISO 3815-1 and ISO 3815-2, or othermethods. In case of dispute, the results

24、 should preferably besecured by Test Methods E 536 and Test Methods E47for tinonly, or ISO 3815-1 or ISO 3815-2 and shall be the basis ofacceptance.7.
