27、t.D For information only. Quantitative determination of this element is not required. Zinc is assumed to be the difference between 100 % and the sum of those elements listedabove.B860 1326. Chemical Requirements6.1 LimitsThe alloys shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition prescri

28、bed 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 of manufacture, he shall not be required to sample and analyze the finishedproduct.6.2 In c

29、ase of dispute, the following requirements shall apply:6.2.1 Number of SamplesSamples for verification of chemical composition shall be taken as follows:6.2.1.1 Not less than five ingots shall be taken at random from each car or truckload of the same alloy for sampling. Each heatin the shipment shal

30、l be represented. If the shipment is less than a carload lot, one sample ingot shall be taken for each 10 000lb (4540 kg) or fraction thereof. When it is deemed necessary, a sample may be taken from each melt of 1000 lb (454 kg) or more.6.3 Methods of SamplingSamples from ingots for determination of

31、 chemical composition shall be taken in accordance withone of the following methods:6.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from the material by drilling, sawing, milling, turning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pieces to obtain weight of prepared sample not less than 100 g. Samplin

32、g shall be in accordance withPractice E88.6.3.2 By agreement, an optional method of sampling would be to select, at random, ingots of the same heat, melt togetherrepresentative portions of each ingot selected, and cast a disc or suitable sample from the liquid composite for spectrographic orchemical

33、 analysis.6.3.3 Samples for chemical analysis may also be in the form of a separately cast spectrographic disc specimen taken from thesame pour used to cast the ingot.6.3.4 Alternate procedures for sampling and exchange of samples shall be agreed upon between the producer and the customer.6.4 Method

34、 of AnalysisThe determination of chemical composition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemical TestMethods E536, suitable spectrochemical methods ISO3815-1 and ISO 3815-2, or other methods. In case of dispute, the resultsshould preferably be secured by Test Methods E536, or ISO 3815-1 or I

37、 of zinc or zinc alloy, designed for manual handling. A slab usually weighs about 55 lb (25 kg) butmay weigh any where from 40 to 60 lb (18 to 27 kg). Slabs are usually shipped in strapped bundles weighing about 2200 lb (onemetric ton).7.1.4 Other shapes and sizes as may be agreed upon between the p

38、roducer and the customer may be cast to the chemicalrequirements of this specification.8. Source Inspection8.1 If the purchaser desires that his representative inspect or witness the inspection and testing of the product prior to shipment,such agreement shall be made by the purchaser and producer or

39、 supplier as part of the contract or purchase order.8.2 When such inspection or witness of inspection and testing is agreed upon, the producer or supplier shall afford thepurchasers representative all reasonable facilities to satisfy him that the product meets the requirements of this specification.

40、Inspection and tests shall be conducted in such a manner that there is no unnecessary interference with the producers operations.9. Rejection and Rehearing9.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements of this specification may be rejected. Rejection should be reported to theproducer or supp

41、lier promptly and in writing. In case of dissatisfaction with the results of the test, the producer or supplier maymake claim for a rehearing. If the rehearing establishes that the material does not conform to the requirements of this specification,it should be rejected and returned to the producer.

42、10. Identification Marking10.1 All ingots shall be properly marked for identification with the producers name or brand.10.2 Each bundle or skid shall be identified with the bundle weight and the producers heat number. Corrected editorially.B860 13311. Packaging11.1 Unless otherwise specified, the in

43、got shall be packaged to provide easy access for unloading by overhead crane or forklift.Each package shall contain only one alloy unless otherwise agreed upon.12.
