1、Designation: B776 07 B776 12Standard Specification forHafnium and Hafnium Alloy Strip, Sheet, and Plate1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B776; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revi

2、sion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers two grades of wrought hafnium and hafnium alloy strip, sheet, and plate as follows:1.1.1 Grade R1 for

3、 nuclear applications, and1.1.2 Grade R3 for commercial applications.1.2 Unless a single unit is used, for example corrosion mass gain in mg/dm2, the values stated in either inch-pound or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; t

4、herefore each system mustbe used independently of the other. SI values cannot be mixed with inch-pound values.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portions of this specification. This standard does notpurport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associate

5、d with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Materials and Manufacture6.1 Material covered by this specification shall be made from ingots that are produced b

18、y vacuum or plasma arc melting,vacuum electron-beam melting, a combination of these three methods or other melting processes conventionally used for reactivemetals. All processes to be done in furnaces usually used for reactive metals.6.2 The various mill products covered by this specification shall

26、 sample is within 5 in. (125 mm) of thetop face and the distance between samples or between the bottom face and a sample does not exceed one ingot diameter.

28、t.7.3 Check Analysis:7.3.1 Check analysis is an analysis made by the purchaser or the manufacturer of the metal after it has been processed intofinished mill forms, and is either for the purpose of verifying the composition of a heat or lot or to determine variations incomposition within a heat or l

29、ot. Acceptance or rejection of a lot of material may be made by the purchaser on the basis of thischeck analysis.7.3.2 Check analysis limits shall be as specified in Table 2. These limits are the amounts an individual result for a given elementmay vary under or over the specified limits shown in Tab

30、le 1.7.3.3 Check analysis tolerances do not broaden the specified heat analysis requirements but cover variations betweenlaboratories in the measurement of chemical content.7.3.4 The manufacturer shall not ship material that is outside the limits specified in Table 1 for the applicable grade.8. Mech

31、anical Properties8.1 Grade R1 shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 3 for room temperature mechanical properties.
