Unless otherwise specified in the Except as otherwise contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the perfo

25、rmance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government Governnent reserves the ri

26、ght to perform any of the inspections set forth in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure suppiies and services conform to prescribed requirements. The * 4.2 Classification of inspection. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows : 1, 2.

27、Prep.roduc t ion sample inspect ion ( see 4.3). Lot acceptance inspection (see 4.4). 4.3 Preproduction sample inspection. When specified in the contract or order, prior to the production plating of any article, the contractor shall prepare preproduction samples representing the minimum acceptable pl

28、ating quality to be used in production. The preproduction sample shall Fe articles of the same basis metal and prepared for plating by similar procedures to those applying to the articles to be plated in production, The preproduction samples selected in accordance with 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 shall be subje

29、cted to all examination and tests specified herein. Equivalent substitute specimens may be used in lieu of the actual articles to be plated in production subject to the provisions of 4.4.3.1.

Before submitting another preproduction sample, full particulars c0nceri.li.F; previous rejection and the action

31、taken to correct the defects shall be made available to the contracting officer. Articles to be plated under this specification will not be considered for acceptance until approval of the preproduction samples has been obtained, 4.4 Lot acceptance inspection.

Unless other

35、wise specified in the contract or order, samples for thickness, adhesion, finish, and embrittlement relief shall be composed of a minimum of four plated articles selected at random from each lot. 4.4.3.1 Use of equivalent specimens. Unless otlierrise specified in the contract or order, equivalent sp

36、ecimens may be included in a lot as substitutes for plated articles that are not suited to the tests specified herein. Equivalent specimens shall be of the same basis metal; shall be prepared for plating in the same manner as the article it is to represent and shall be plated concurrently with the a

37、rticle. Controllable conditions that affect the plating should be as nearly as possible the same for the equivalent specimens as for the represented article. The substitute specimens shall be 1 by 4 by 0.04 inches. 4.5 Test procedures. 4.5.1 Thickness of plating. For nondestructive measuring of plat

38、ing thickness, procedures in accordance with Fed. Test Method No. 151, method 520 (electronic test) or ASTH B 529 (eddy current) may be used. For destructive measuring, the microscopic method in accordance with ASTM B 487 may be used. At the option of the supplier, other instruments such as those us

39、ing the principle of beta radiation back scatter or x-ray fluorescence may be used. For plating thickness less than 0.0001 inch, microscopic, magnetic, or eddy current methods should not be used. O 4.5.2 Adhesion test. The samples shall De repeatedly bent through an angle of 180 degress on a diamete

40、r equal to the thickness of the specimen until fracture of the basis metal occurs. Following fracture, it shall not be possible to detach areas of the coating by use of a pointed instrument. If the edge of the ruptued plate can be peeled back or if separation between rhodium or underplating and the

41、basis metal, or any plating from each other can be seer. tiL the point of rupture, when examined at 4 diameters magnification, adhesion is not satisfactory. The formation of cracks that do . not result iri flaking or peeling of the deposit shall not be considered as nonconforming to this requirement
