Light polishing to remove minor surface imperfections

16、 is permissible, provided such imperfections can be removed within specified dimensional tolerances. 3.3 Heat Treatment Extrusions shall be precipitation heat treated by heating to a temperature between 392 to 482 F (200 to 250 C), and holding at the selected temperature 10 F (6 C) for the proper ti

17、me for precipitation heat treatment to meet the requirements of 3.4, and air cooling. Pyrometry shall be in accordance with AMS2750.

20、dance with 3.4.2.1, shall be less than 50 mpy. 3.4.3.1 Corrosion rate shall be determined in accordance with ASTM B117 except that, prior to exposure, specimens shall be accurately weighed to within 0.01 g (W1). Specimens shall be exposed to the salt spray for not less than 120 hours. Following expo

21、sure, specimens shall be rinsed with tap water and cleaned of adherent corrosion product by immersing in a hot (190 F (88 C) 20% Chromic acid plus 1% silver nitrate solution for 1 to 2 minutes. Cleaned specimens shall be rinsed in hot water, dried in a stream of hot air, and weighed (W2). The measur

22、ed weight loss (WL) shall be calculated (W1 - W2) and used for calculating corrosion rate, using the following equations: CR (mcd) = WL / (SA x EP) (Eq. 1) CR mils (0.001 inch) per year = (CR (mcd) / D) x 143.7 (Eq. 2) where: WL = measure weight loss in mg SA = total surface area of specimen in cm2

23、EP = exposure time in days D = density, 1.82 g/cm3 mcd = mg/cm2 per day 3.5 Quality Extrusions, as received by purchaser, shall be uniform in quality and condition, sound, and free from foreign materials and from imperfections detrimental to usage of the extrusions.
