SCOPE 1
6、.1 Form This specification covers a premium aircraft-quality, low-alloy steel in the form of bars, forgings, mechanical tubing, and forging stock. 1.2 Application These products have been used typically for carburized parts requiring high minimum core hardness in sections 0.375 inch (9.52 mm) and un
7、der in nominal thickness, and that are subject to rigid magnetic particle standards, but usage is not limited to such applications. The core may or may not be machinable after hardening. 1.3 Classification Steel covered by this specification is classified by melting practice as follows: Type 1 Multi
8、ple melted using electroslag (ESR) remelting in the final melt cycle. Type 2 Multiple melted using consumable electrode vacuum arc (VAR) remelting in the final melt cycle. 1.3.1 Unless a specific type is ordered, either type may be supplied. 2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS The issue of the following documen
9、ts in effect on the date of the purchase order forms a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. The supplier may work to a subsequent revision of a document unless a specific document issue is specified. When the referenced document has been cancelled and no superseding document ha
10、s been specified, the last published issue of that document shall apply.
