SamplingSampling, Testing and Retesting8.1 LotUnless otherwise specified, a lot shall consist of parts of the same form, and

19、dimensions, made of powders of the sameparticle size range and composition, processed under the same conditions, and submitted for inspection at one time.8.2 Chemical AnalysisThe manufacturer and purchaser shall agree on a representative number of specimens for compositionand impurity analysis. A re

20、presentative sample of chips may be obtained by milling, drilling, or crushing with dry tools, (withoutlubrication). In order to obtain free chips, the parts selected for test shall have the oil extracted in accordance with Test MethodB328, if necessary.8.3 Physical and Mechanical TestsThe manufactu

Number of Tests and Retests9.1 Chemical AnalysisThe manufacturer and purchaser shall agree on a representative number of specimens for chemicalanalysis. A representative

22、 sample of chips may be obtained by milling, drilling, or crushing with dry tools, (without lubrication).In order to obtain free chips, the parts selected for test shall have the oil extracted in accordance with Test Method B328, ifnecessary.9.2 Physical TestsThe manufacturer and purchaser shall agr

23、ee on a representative number of specimens, for physical testsincluding microstructure.9. Significance and Use9.1 Proprietary methods for manufacture of these materials vary significantly among suppliers and these methods influence suchproperties as arc erosion, contact resistance, and the tendency

24、to weld in service. Since the performance of contacts in a devicedepends on numerous factors outside the contact itself (opening speed, closing speed, contact pressure, contact bounce,environmental variations, assembly technique and variations, etc.), this specification cannot ensure performance con

25、trol in theapplication.As part of the qualification on initial samples, it is recommended that the user functionally test the materials electricallyfor all devices applicable to the materials use. This specification provides a means for the contact manufacturer and contact userto reach agreement on

26、the details of material to be supplied for a specific use and reasonable assurance that future lots will besimilar in properties and microstructure to the initial test or sample contact supplied.10. Inspection10.1 Inspection of the material shall be in accordance with Specification B476 or as agreed

27、 upon between the purchaser and thesupplier as part of the purchase contract.11. Rejection and Rehearing11.1 Unless otherwise specified, rejections based on tests made in accordance with the specification shall be reported to themanufacturer within 30 days of the receipt of shipment.12. Certificatio

28、n12.1 When a request is made at the time of cost quotation and when specified in the purchase order or contract, aproducersproducers or supplierssuppliers certification shall be furnished to the purchaser that the material was manufactured,sampled, tested, and inspected in accordance with this speci

29、fication and has been found to meet the requirements. When specifiedin the purchase order or contract, a report of the test results shall be furnished.B693 17213.

30、Typical Property ValuesX1.1 The following information provides guidelines for users and manufacturers of silver-nickel contact materials (Table X1.1).These properties are influenced by particle size, homogeneity, impurities or additives, and other manufacturing process variables.For example, the spe

31、cific gravity and hardness of fabricated wire or strip, in general, are higher than for presssinter-repressmaterials. Tensile strength values versus the amount of cold work for wire varies considerably depending upon the annealingtemperature used and the microstructure.The best choice for a given ap

32、plication should be mutually decided between the purchaserand the supplier, using their mutual experience and application knowledge.X1.2 With the knowledge that many manufacturing process variables are available, if a vendor change is made, noticeableproperty or performance variations are possible.A
