Thisstandard is issued by the Accredited Standards Committee B3 of theAmerican National Standards Institute as an industrial standard that isintended to be used by aircraft manufacturers, or aircraft engine manufac-turers, or both, for the procurement of rolling element bea

Zaretskyii1 ScopeDuring the manufacture of bearing compo-nents, there are many grinding processeswhich must be carefully controlled. Th
17、esegrinding processes can cause excessive local-ized heating of the metal being worked andresult in altering the metallurgical structure ofthe alloy. An inspection method of etching theground surface of these alloys with acids per-mits detection of those altered structures. Thisspecification for tem
18、per etch inspection detailsthe methods and controls for performing etch-ing of ground surfaces for the detection, qualifi-cation, and control of altered metallurgicalstructures of various metallic alloys subjectedto grinding.This specification presents two basic methodsof etch, one of alcohol base a
19、nd another ofwater base, in addition to use of a photo-graphic gray scale to control bath immersiontimes and part etching levels. This standardparallels MIL-STD-867A (USAF), Military stan-dard temper etch inspection.1)2 Normative referencesThe following standards contain provisionswhich, through ref
