SAE AMS5966B Page 3 of 6 3.2 Melting Practice The alloy shall be produced by multiple melting using consumable electrode practice in the remelt cycle o
17、r shall be induction melted under vacuum. If consumable electrode melting is not performed in vacuum, electrodes which have been produced by vacuum induction melting shall be used. 3.3 Condition Cold worked, bright finish, in a temper and with a surface finish which will provide proper feeding of th
18、e wire in machine welding equipment. 3.4 Fabrication 3.4.1 Wire shall be formed from rod or bar descaled by a process which does not affect the composition of the wire. Surface irregularities inherent with a forming process that does not tear the wire surface are acceptable provided the wire conform
19、s to the tolerances of 3.6. 3.4.2 Butt welding is permissible provided both ends to be joined are alloy verified using a method capable of distinguishing the alloy from all other alloys processed in the facility, or the repair is made at the wire processing station. The butt weld shall not interfere
20、 with uniform, uninterrupted feeding of the wire in machine welding. 3.4.3 In-process annealing, if required, between cold rolling or drawing operations, shall be performed in vacuum or protective atmospheres to ensure freedom from the surface oxidation and absorption of other extraneous materials.
21、3.4.4 Residual elements, drawing compounds, oxides, dirt, oil, dissolved gasses and other foreign materials picked up during wire processing that can adversely affect the welding characteristics, the operation of the equipment, or the properties of the weld metal, shall be removed by cleaning proces
22、ses that will neither result in pitting nor cause gas absorption by the wire or deposition of substances harmful to welding operations. 3.5 Properties Wire shall conform to the following requirements: 3.5.1 Weldability Melted wire shall flow smoothly and evenly during welding and shall produce accep
23、table welds. ARP1876 may be used to resolve disputes. 3.5.2 Spooled Wire Shall conform to 3.5.2.1, 3.5.2.2 and 3.5.2.3. 3.5.2.1 Winding Filler metal in coils and on spools shall be wound so that kinks, waves, sharp bends, overlapping, or wedging are not encountered, leaving the filler metal free to
24、unwind without restriction. The outside end of the electrode (the end where welding is to begin) shall be identified so it can be located readily and shall be fastened to avoid unwinding. The winding shall be level winding. 3.5.2.2 Cast Wire, wound on standard diameter spools as shown in Table 2 sha
25、ll have imparted to it a curvature such that a specimen sufficient in length to form one loop with a 1-inch (25-mm) overlap, when cut from the spool and laid on a flat surface, shall form a circle (cast) within the limits shown in Table 2. SAE AMS5966B Page 4 of 6 3.5.2.3 Helix The specimen on which
26、 cast was determined, when laid on a flat surface and measured between adjacent turns, shall show a vertical separation not greater than shown in Table 2.
