9、t analysis described in 5.2,the alternative analysis described in 5.3, or the alternativetension test described in 5.4.5.2 Heat or Cast AnalysisAn analysis of each heat or castshall be made by the manufacturer of the steel to determine thepercentage of the elements specified in Table 1. The analysis

10、shall be made from a test sample taken preferably during thepouring of the heat or cast. The chemical composition thusdetermined shall conform to the requirements of Table 1. Allelements listed in Table 1 shall be reported in the test analysisto the purchaser when requested.5.3 Alternative AnalysisW

Dimensions and Permissible Variations7.1 The finished spikes shall conform to the dimensionsspecified by the purchaser, subject to the permissible variationsprescribed in Table 5.8. Workmanship, F

20、inish, and Appearance8.1 The finished spikes shall be straight, with well-formedheads and sharp points and shall be free of injurious and otherimperfections not consistent with good commercial practice.9. Retests9.1 If, during the tension or bend tests, a previously undis-covered material or manufac

21、turing flaw should be disclosedthat interferes with the test or the interpretation of results, thesubstitution of another sample spike shall be permitted after itis demonstrated to the satisfaction of the purchaser or hisrepresentative, that the condition is not typical of the remainderof the lot.9.
