30、.1.2 Quantity in pieces or kilograms,4.1.3 Alloy (Section 7),4.1.4 Temper (Section 8),4.1.5 Outside or inside diameter, wall thickness, and length,4.1.6 For alloy Alclad 3003, state clad inside or outside(12.1).4.2 Additionally, orders for material to this specificationshall include the following in
31、formation when required by thepurchaser:4.2.1 Whether heat treatment in accordance with PracticeB 918 is required (9.2),4.2.2 Whether cut ends of tube are to be deburred (Section14),4.2.3 Whether inspection or witness of inspection and testsby the purchasers representative is required prior to mater
32、ialshipment (Section 15),4.2.4 Whether certification of the material is required(Section 17),4.2.5 Whether marking for identification is required (Sec-tion 18), and4.2.6 Whether Practices B 660 applies and, if so, the level ofpreservation, packaging, and packing required (19.3).5. Manufacture5.1 The
33、 tube shall be produced by drawing an extruded tubemade from hollow extrusion ingot (cast in hollow form orpierced) and extruded by use of the die and mandrel method.6. Responsibility for Quality Assurance6.1 Responsibility for Inspection and TestsUnless other-wise specified in the contract or purch
34、ase order, the producer isresponsible for the performance of all inspection and testrequirements specified herein. The producer may use his ownor any other suitable facilities for the performance of theinspection and test requirements specified herein, unless dis-approved by the purchaser in the ord
35、er or at the time of contractsigning. The purchaser shall have the right to perform any ofthe inspections and tests set forth in this specification wheresuch inspections are deemed necessary to assure that materialconforms to prescribed requirements.6.2 Lot DefinitionAn inspection lot shall be defin
36、ed asfollows:6.2.1 For heat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shall con-sist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same millform, alloy, temper, and thickness traceable to a heat-treated lotor lots, and subjected to inspection at one time.6.2.2 For nonheat-treated tempers, an inspection lo
37、t shallconsist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same millform, alloy, temper, and thickness subjected to inspection atone time.7. Chemical Composition7.1 LimitsThe tube shall conform to the chemical com-position limits in Table 1. Conformance shall be determined bythe producer by analy
38、zing samples taken at the time the ingotsare poured, or samples taken from the finished or semi-finishedproduct. If the producer has determined the chemical compo-sition of the material during the course of manufacture, he shallnot be required to sample and analyze the finished product.NOTE 4It is s
39、tandard practice in the United States aluminum industryto determine conformance to the chemical composition limits prior tofurther processing of ingots into wrought products. Due to the continuousnature of the process, it is not practical to keep a specific ingot analysisidentified with a specific q
40、uantity of finished material.7.2 Number of SamplesThe number of samples taken fordetermination of chemical composition shall be as follows:7.2.1 When samples are taken at the time the ingots arepoured, at least one sample shall be taken for each group ofingots poured simultaneously from the same sou
41、rce of moltenmetal.7.2.2 When samples are taken from the finished or semi-finished product, a sample shall be taken to represent each2000 kg, or fraction thereof, of material in the lot, except thatnot more than one sample shall be required per piece.7.3 Methods of SamplingSamples for determination
42、ofchemical composition shall be taken in accordance with one ofthe following methods:7.3.1 Samples of chemical analysis shall be taken by drill-ing, sawing, milling, turning, clipping, etc., a representativepiece or pieces to obtain a prepared sample of not less than 75g. Sampling shall be in accord
43、ance with Practice E55.7.3.2 Sampling for spectrochemical analysis shall be inaccordance with Practices E 716. Samples for other methods ofanalysis shall be suitable for the form of material beinganalyzed and the type of analytical method used.NOTE 5It is difficult to obtain a reliable analysis of e
44、ach of thecomponents of clad materials using material in its finished state. Areasonably accurate determination of the core composition can be made ifthe cladding is substantially removed prior to analysis. The claddingcomposition is more difficult to determine because of the relatively thinlayer an
45、d because of diffusion of core elements to the cladding. Thecorrectness of cladding alloy used can usually be verified by a combina-tion of metallographic examination and spectrochemical analysis of thesurface at several widely separated points.7.4 Methods of AnalysisThe determination of chemicalcom
46、position shall be made in accordance with suitable chemi-cal (Test Methods E34), or spectrochemical (Test MethodsE 607, and E 1251), methods. Other methods may be used onlywhen no published ASTM method is available. In case ofdispute, the methods of analysis shall be agreed upon betweenthe producer
47、and purchaser.8. Tensile Properties of Material as Supplied8.1 LimitsThe tube shall conform to the tensile propertyrequirements in Table 2.8.2 Number of Specimens:8.2.1 For material having a nominal mass up through 1.7kg/linear m, one tension test specimen shall be taken for each500 kg, or fraction
48、thereof in the lot.8.2.2 For material having a nominal mass over 1.7 kg/linearm, one tension test specimen shall be taken for each 300 m orfraction thereof in the lot.B234M0438.2.3 Other procedures for selecting samples may be em-ployed if agreed upon by the producer and the purchaser.8.3 Test Metho
49、dsThe tension tests shall be made inaccordance with Test Methods B 557M.9. Heat Treatment9.1 Unless otherwise specified in 9.2, producer or supplierheat treatment for the applicable tempers in Table 2 shall be inaccordance with AMS 2772.9.2 When specified, heat treatment of applicable tempers inTable 2 shall be in accordance with Practice B 918.10. Leak Test10.1 Each length of tube less than 40 mm in diameter shallbe tested by either of the following methods, at the option ofthe producer or supplier, consistent with the size limitationsindic
