17、hall include information as specified in Specification B949, Section 4.5. Materials and Manufacture5.1 The alloys may be made by any approved process.5.2 The material covered by this specification shall be of uniform quality and shall be free from dross, slag, or other harmfulcontamination.5.3 Jumbo
18、 or block ingots shall conform to configuration shown in Specification B897, or to a shape and size previously agreedupon.5.4Material produced under this specification shall conform with the General Requirements of Specification B949, unlessotherwise noted in this specification.6. Chemical Requireme
19、nts6.1 LimitsThe alloy shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition prescribed in Table 1. Conformance shallbe determined by the producer by analyzing samples taken at the time the ingots are made. If the producer has determined thechemical composition of the metal during the course
20、of manufacture, he shall not be required to sample and analyze the finishedproduct.6.2In case of dispute, the following requirements shall apply:6.2.1Number of SamplesSamples for verification of chemical composition shall be taken as follows:6.2.2If the ingots are shipped in carload lots of the same
21、 alloy, not less than five ingots shall be taken at random from the carloadfor sampling. If the shipment is less than a carload lot, one sample ingot shall be taken for each 10000 lb (4500 kg) or fractionthereof. When it is deemed necessary, a sample may be taken from each melt of 1000 lb (450 kg) o
22、r more.6.3Methods of SamplingSamples from ingots for determination of chemical composition shall be taken in accordance with oneof the following methods:6.3.1Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from the material by drilling, sawing, milling, turning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pie
23、ces to obtain weight of prepared sample not less than 100 g. Sampling shall be in accordance withPractice E88.6.3.2By agreement, an optional method of sampling for analysis may be by melting together representative portions of each ingotselected, and then sampling the liquid composite by casting sui

In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the test, the producer or supplier maymake claim for a rehearing. If the rehea
34、ring establishes that the material does not conform to the requirements of this specification,as much of the rejected original material as possible shall be returned to the producer or supplier.9.Identification Marking9.1All ingots shall be properly marked for identification with the producers name
