17、material under thisspecification the following information:5.1.1 Quantity,5.1.2 ASTM designation and date of issue,5.1.3 Form (sheet, strip, plate, bar, forging bar, or wire),5.1.4 Condition (See Section 3 and 6.3),5.1.5 Mechanical properties (if applicable, for specialconditions),5.1.6 Finish (See

18、6.2),5.1.7 Applicable dimensions including size, thickness,width, length, or drawing number,5.1.8 Special tests, if any, and5.1.9 Other requirements.6. Materials and Manufacture6.1 The various titanium mill products covered in thisspecification normally are formed with the conventional forg-ing and

19、rolling equipment found in primary ferrous andnonferrous plants. The alloy is usually multiple melted in arcfurnaces (including furnaces such as plasma arc and electronbeam) of a type conventionally used for reactive metals.6.2 FinishThe mill product may be furnished to theimplant manufacturer as me

20、chanically descaled or pickled,abrasively blasted, chemically milled, ground, machined,peeled, polished, combinations of these operations, or asspecified by the purchaser. On billets, bars, plates, andforgings, it is permissible to remove minor surface imperfec-tions by grinding if the resultant are

21、a meets the dimensionaland surface finish requirements of this specification.6.3 ConditionMaterial shall be furnished in the annealedor cold-worked condition. Mechanical properties for condi-tions other than those listed in Table 1 and Table 2 may beestablished by agreement between the supplier and

22、the pur-chaser.7. Chemical Requirements7.1 The heat analysis shall conform to the chemical com-position specified in Table 3. Ingot analysis may be used forreporting all chemical requirements, except hydrogen. Samplesfor hydrogen shall be taken from the finished mill product. Thesupplier shall not s

23、hip material with chemistry outside therequirements specified in Table 3.7.1.1 Requirements for the major and minor elementalconstituents are listed in Table 3. Also listed are importantresidual elements.Analysis for elements not listed in Table 3 isnot required to verify compliance with this specif

24、ication.7.2 Product Analysis:7.2.1 Product analysis tolerances do not broaden the speci-fied heat analysis requirements but cover variations betweenlaboratories in the measurement of chemical content. Theproduct analysis tolerances shall conform to the producttolerances in Table 4.7.2.2 The product

25、analysis is either for the purpose ofverifying the composition of a heat or manufacturing lot ordetermining variations in the composition within the heat.7.2.3 Acceptance or rejection of a heat or manufacturing lotof material may be made by the purchaser on the basis of thisproduct analysis. Product

26、 analysis outside the tolerance limitsallowed in Table 4 is cause for rejection of the product. Areferee analysis may be used if agreed upon by the supplier andpurchaser.7.2.4 For referee purposes, use Test Methods E539, E1409,E1447, E1941, and E2371 or other analytical methods agreedupon between th

27、e purchaser and the supplier.7.3 Samples for chemical analysis shall be representative ofthe material being tested. The utmost care must be used insampling titanium for chemical analysis because of its affinityfor elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. InTABLE 1 Annealed Mechanical Propert
