Dimensions and Permissible Variations10.1 Units of Me
36、asure:10.1.1 SelectionThis specification requires that the pur-chaser selects the units (SI or inch-pound) to be used forproduct certification. In the absence of a stated selection ofunits on the purchase order, this selection may be expressed bythe purchaser in several alternate forms listed in ord
37、er ofprecedence.10.1.1.1 If the purchaser and supplier have a history ofusing specific units, these units shall continue to be certifieduntil expressly changed by the purchaser.10.1.1.2 In the absence of historic precedence, if the unitsused to define the product on the purchasers purchase order(PO)
38、, specification, and engineering drawing are consistent,these units shall be used by the supplier for product certifica-tion.10.1.1.3 If the purchasers selection of units is unclear, theunits of measure shall be agreed upon between the purchaserand supplier.10.1.2 Conversion of UnitsIf the suppliers
39、 test equipmentdoes not report in the selected units, the test equipment unitsmay be converted to the selected units for certification pur-poses. Accurate arithmetic conversion and proper use ofsignificant digits should be observed when performing thisconversion. IEEE/ASTM SI 10 provides guidelines
40、for the useof SI units. Annex A of that standard provides conversiontables and Annex B provides rules for conversion and signifi-cance.TABLE 2 Mechanical Requirements, Fine WireAConditionBDiameter, in. mmUltimateCTensile Strength, psiMPaElongation in 10 in. 254mm, min, %Cold drawn under 0.0631.60125

Special Tests11.1 Bar, forging bar, wire, and fine wire conforming
45、to thisspecification shall be capable of passing the intergranularcorrosion susceptibility test in accordance with Practice E ofPractices A262.11.1.1 Samples in the hot worked condition shall be an-nealed prior to Practice E of Practices A262, sensitization heattreatment.11.2 Bar, forging bar, wire,
46、 and fine wire conforming to thisspecification shall have a grain size of ASTM No. 5 or finerwhen measured in accordance with Test Methods E112.11.2.1 It is preferred that samples for grain size determina-tion be selected after the hot working operation or after thefinal annealing operation prior to
47、 the final cold workingoperation.11.2.2 If samples are selected after a final cold workingoperation, specimens shall be tested in accordance with TestMethods E112 or as agreed to between the supplier andpurchaser.11.3 All centerless ground or peeled and polished round bar0.375 in. 9.5 mm in nominal
48、diameter shall be ultrasonicallyinspected at final diameter according to AMS 2630, ClassA1. Equivalent test methods may be substituted when agreedupon by the purchaser and supplier.NOTE 1AMS 2630 specifies a minimum size limit of 0.50 in. 12.7mm. F04.12 committee has intentionally specified the use
49、of AMS 2630below 0.50 in. 12.7 mm based on the experience of users and producerson the committee. There is disagreement in the industry as to whetherAMS 2632, which does apply to sizes under 0.50 in. 12.7 mm, appliesto solid round bar.11.4 Billet shall also be ultrasonically tested prior to beinghot rolled and should be free of internal defects. Acceptancecriteria shall be agreed to between the purchaser and supplier.11.5 Any other special requirements shall be specified bythe purchaser.12. Significance
