28、o exceed 100X. The product shall not show a layer of complete (ferrite) or partial decarburization exceeding the limits of Table 3.3.3.4.4.2 Hardness Traverse Method The total depth of decarburization shall be determined by a traverse method using microhardness testing in accordance with ASTM E384,

29、at a magnification not exceeding 100X, conducted on a hardened but untempered specimen protected during heat treatment to prevent changes in surface carbon content. Tempering is generally not recommended, but if tempered, the tempering temperature shall be not higher than 300 F (149 C). Depth of dec

30、arburization is defined as the perpendicular distance from the surface to the depth under that surface where there is not further increase in hardness. Such measurements shall be far enough away from any adjacent surface to be uninfluenced by any decarburization on the adjacent surface. Acceptance s

31、hall be as listed in Table 3.3.3.4.4.3 When determining the depth of decarburization, it is permissible to disregard local areas provided the decarburization of such areas does not exceed the limits of Table 3 by more than 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) and the width is 0.065 inch (1.65 mm) or less.3.3.4.4.4

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The producer of the tubing shall supply all samples for producers tests and shall

35、 be responsible for the performance of all required tests. Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure that the tubing conforms to specified requirements. 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptance TestsComposition (3.1), hardness (3.2)

36、, macrostructure (3.3.1) average grain size (3.3.2), hardenability (3.3.3), decarburization (3.3.4), frequency and severity (3.4.1) and tolerances (3.5) are classified as acceptance tests and shall be performed on each heat or lot as applicable. If grain refining elements (3.3.2.2) are not present,

37、the ASTM E112 grain size test (3.3.2.1) shall be conducted on each lot.4.2.2 Periodic TestsIf grain refining elements (3.3.2.2) are present, the ASTM E112 grain size test (3.3.2.1) shall be conducted on a periodic basis and shall be performed at a frequency selected by the producer (not to exceed on

38、e year) unless frequency of testing is specified by purchaser.4.3 Sampling and Testing Shall be in accordance with AMS2370.4.4 Reports The producer shall furnish with each shipment a report showing producer identity, country where the metal was melted (e. g., final melt in the case of metal processe

39、d by multiple melting operations), the results of tests for composition, macrostructure, hardenability, and frequency-severity cleanliness rating of each heat and for hardness and, if measured,average grain size of each lot, and stating that the product conforms to the other technical requirements.

40、This report shall include the purchase order number, heat and lot numbers, AMS6413M, size, and quantity. If the grain size requirement of 3.3.2.2 is met by the aluminum, vanadium and/or columbium content, the aluminum, vanadium and/or columbium content shall be reported and a statement that the chem

41、istry satisfies the grain size requirement shall be included.4.5 Resampling and RetestingShall be in accordance with AMS2370.5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY 5.1 Sizes Except when exact lengths or multiples of exact lengths are ordered, tubing will be acceptable in mill lengths of 6 to 20 feet (1.8 to 6.

42、1 m), but not more than 10% of any shipment shall be supplied in lengths shorter than 10 feet (3 m).5.2 Identification Shall be in accordance with AMS2806.5.3 Protective Treatment Tubing ordered cold drawn, cold rolled, ground, turned, or polished shall be protected from corrosion prior to shipment.

An (R) symbol to the left of the document title indicates a complete revision of

46、the document, including technical revisions. Change bars and (R) are not used in original publications, nor in documents that contain editorial changes only.8.2 Hardness conversion tables for metals are presented in ASTM E140.8.3 Terms used in AMS are clarified in ARP1917. 8.4 Dimensions and propert

47、ies in inch/pound units and the Fahrenheit temperatures are primary; dimensions and properties in SI units and the Celsius temperatures are shown as the approximate equivalents of the primary units and are presented only for information.8.5 Grain sizeThe average grain size resulting from using the a

48、ppropriate test procedures per ASTM E112 will satisfy an ASTM No. 5 or finer grain size when the elements defined in 3.3.2.2 as grain refiners are present. Many other technical societies have adopted the verification of fine grain steel based on chemistry alone: ASTM International (A6, A20, A29); Am

49、erican Society of Mechanical Engineers (SA6, SA20, SA29); American Bureau of Shipping; CSA International; EuroNorm; American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.8.6 Purchase documents should specify not less than the following:AMS6413MSize of tubing desiredQuantity of tubing desired.PREPARED BY AMS COMMITTEE “E”
