Each variation in such parameters shall be assigned a modified code designation. 4.5 Reports: The vendor of castings shall furnish with each shipment a report sho

47、wing the results of tests for chemical composition of each heat and the results of tests on each lot to determine conformance to the other technical requirements of this specification. When properties of specimens cut from castings are specified, the report shall include the results of tests to dete

48、rmine conformance to such requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, heat number, lot number, AMS 4511A, part number, and quantity. 4.6 Resampling and Retesting: If any specimen used in the above tests fails to meet the specified requirements, disposition of the castings may

49、be based on the results of testing two additional specimens for each original nonconforming specimen. Failure of any retest specimen to meet the specified requirements shall be cause for rejection of the castings represented. SAE AMS4511A Page 8 of 9 5.
