Materials and Manufacture6.1 The various titanium mill products covered in thisspecification normally are formed with the conventional forg-ing and rolling equipment found in primary ferrous andnonferrous plants.

19、 The alloy is usually multiple melted in arcfurnaces (including furnaces such as plasma arc and electronbeam) of a type conventionally used for reactive metals.6.2 FinishThe mill product may be furnished to thepurchaser as mechanically descaled or pickled, sandblasted,chemically milled, ground, mach

20、ined, peeled, polished, com-binations of these operations, or as specified by the purchaser.On billets, bars, plates, and forgings, it is permissible toremove minor surface imperfections by grinding if the resultantarea meets the dimensional and surface finish requirements ofthis specification.6.3 C

22、om the finished mill product. Supplier shallnot ship material with chemistry outside the requirementsspecified in Table 1.7.1.1 Requirements for the major and minor elementalconstituents are listed in Table 1. Also listed are importantresidual elements. Analysis for elements not listed in Table 1 is

23、not required to verify compliance with this specification.7.2 Product Analysis:7.2.1 Product analysis tolerances do not broaden the speci-fied heat analysis requirements but cover variations in themeasurement of chemical content between laboratories. Theproduct analysis tolerances shall conform to t

24、he producttolerances in Table 2.7.2.2 The product analysis is either for the purpose ofverifying the composition of a heat or manufacturing lot or fordetermining variations in the composition within the heat.7.2.3 Acceptance or rejection of a heat or manufacturing lotof material may be made by the p

25、urchaser on the basis of thisproduct analysis. Product analyses outside the tolerance limitsallowed in Table 2 are cause for rejection of the product. Areferee analysis may be used if agreed upon by supplier andpurchaser.7.2.4 For referee purposes, use Test Methods E1409,E 1447, and E 2371 or other

26、analytical methods agreed uponbetween the purchaser and the supplier.7.3 Samples for chemical analysis shall be representative ofthe material being tested. The utmost care must be used insampling titanium for chemical analysis because of its affinityfor elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydroge

27、n. Incutting samples for analysis, therefore, the operation should becarried out insofar as possible in a dust-free atmosphere.Cutting tools should be clean and sharp. Samples for analysisshould be stored in suitable containers.8. Mechanical Requirements8.1 The material supplied under this specifica

28、tion shallconform to the mechanical property requirements in Table 3.Alternative properties may be agreed upon between the pur-chaser and supplier.8.2 Specimens for tension tests shall be machined and testedin accordance with Test Methods E8. Tensile properties shallbe determined using a strain rate

29、 of 0.003 to 0.007 in./in./min(mm/mm/min) through yield and then the crosshead speed maybe increased so as to produce fracture in approximately oneadditional minute.8.3 For sheet and strip, the bend test specimen shall with-stand being bent cold through an angle of 105 without fracturein the outside

Test conditions shall conform to Test Method E 290.8.4 Number of Tests:8.4.1 Bar, Forging Bar, Shapes, and WirePerform at leastone tension test from each lot in the longitudinal direction.Should any of these test s

34、pecimens not meet the specifiedrequirements, test two additional test pieces representative ofthe same lot, in the same manner, for each failed test specimen.The lot will be considered in compliance only if both additionaltest pieces meet the specified requirements.8.4.2 Tensile tests results for wh

35、ich any specimen fracturesoutside the gage length shall be considered acceptable, if boththe elongation and reduction of area meet the minimumrequirements specified. Refer to Sections 7.11.4 and 7.12.5 ofTest Methods E8. If either the elongation or reduction of areais less than the minimum requireme

36、nt, discard the test andretest. Retest one specimen for each specimen that did not meetthe minimum requirements.8.4.3 Sheet, Strip, and PlatePerform at least one tensiontest from each lot in the longitudinal direction. Perform at leastone bend test from each lot in both the longitudinal andtransvers

37、e directions. Tests in the transverse direction need bemade only on product from which a specimen not less than 8.0in. (200 mm) in length for sheet and 2.50 in. (64 mm) in lengthfor plate can be taken. Should any of these test pieces not meetthe specified requirements, test two additional test piece

38、srepresentative of the same lot, in the same manner, for eachfailed test specimen. The lot shall be considered in complianceonly if both additional test pieces meet the specified require-ments.9. Special Requirements9.1 The microstructure shall be a fine dispersion of the alphaand beta phases result

39、ing from processing in the alpha plus betafield. There shall be no continuous alpha network at prior betagrain boundaries. There shall be no coarse, elongated alphaplatelets.9.2 Determine the beta transus temperature for each heat bya suitable method and report on the material certification ifrequir

40、ed by the purchaser.9.3 Alpha case is not permitted for products supplied with amachined, ground, or chemically milled surface finish. Forother products, there will be no continuous layer of alpha casewhen examined at 1003 magnification.10. Significance of Numerical Limits10.1 The following applies

41、to all specified numerical limitsin this specification.
