Metallurgical Structure7.1 The requirements for metallurgical structure, if any,shall be as specified in the individual material specification.8. Mechanical Property Requirements8.1 RequirementsThe requirements for mechanical prop-erties,
25、 if any, shall be as specified in the individual materialspecification.8.2 Number of TestsThe number of specimens shall be asspecified in the individual material specification.8.3 Location and Orientation of Tension Test SpecimensUnless otherwise specified in the individual material specifi-cation,
26、tension test specimens shall be the full thickness of thematerial. The test coupons shall be taken from the material inits finished condition except as otherwise provided in 8.4; shallbe taken approximately midway between the edge and center-line of the sheet or strip; and shall be taken such that t
27、he longaxis of the test specimen will be transverse to the final directionof rolling.8.4 Heat Treatment of Test Coupons:8.4.1 When heat treatment is required by the materialspecification and is to be performed by the purchaser or hisagent, and the material is to be supplied by the manufacturer ina c
28、ondition other than that required by the material specifica-tion, the material shall be qualified on the basis of tests madeon specimens taken from coupons, obtained from the materialin its as-shipped condition, that have been heat treated inaccordance with the requirements specified in the material
29、specification or on the order. If the heat-treatment temperaturesare not specified, the manufacturer shall heat treat the couponsunder conditions he considers appropriate.8.4.2 When specified on the order, the test coupons may besubjected to additional heat treatment to simulate thermaltreatments th
30、at will be used during fabrication.8.4.3 The purchaser shall be informed of the proceduresfollowed in heat treating the test coupons.8.5 Test Methods:8.5.1 All tests shall be conducted in accordance with TestMethods and Definitions A 370.8.5.2 Yield strength shall be determined either by the 0.2 %of
31、fset method or by the 0.5 % extension-under-load method.9. Quality9.1 GeneralSheet and strip furnished under this specifi-cation shall be clean, sound, and free of internal or externalimperfections which would make the material unsuitable forthe intended application. Care should be taken to avoid cr
32、acks,seams, slivers, grooves, laminations, pits, blisters, buckles, coilbreaks, creases, holes, pickling stains and patches, ragged andtorn edges, and “rolled-in” dirt and scale.9.2 Surface FinishThe degree or amount of surface im-perfections on material in cut lengths shall be such that only areaso
33、nable amount of metal finishing is required. Slight surfaceimperfections that are completely removable without reducingthe thickness below the minimum permissible limits shall notbe considered to be defects. Coils may contain some abnormaldefects such as holes, welds, etc., which render a portion of
34、 thecoil unusable, since the inspection of coils does not afford thesame opportunity to reject portions containing defects as is thecase with cut lengths. However, an excessive number ofabnormal imperfections is cause for rejection.10. Edges10.1 EdgesThe types of edges procurable in hot-rolledand in
35、 cold-rolled alloy-steel sheet and strip are as follows:10.2 Hot-Rolled Sheet and Strip:10.2.1 Mill EdgeNormal edge produced in hot rolling thatdoes not conform to any definite contour.A 505 00 (2005)210.2.2 Cut EdgeApproximately square edge resultingfrom the cutting of sheet into one or more desire
36、d widths bymeans of rotary knives (slit edge) or blade shears (shearededge).10.2.3 Square EdgeType of mill edge produced by hotedge-rolling; furnished on strip only.10.3 Cold-Rolled Sheet:10.3.1 Cut EdgeSame description as shown in 10.2.2 forhot-rolled sheet and strip.10.4 Cold-Rolled Strip:10.4.1 N

Retests13.1 The retes
42、t provisions of Test Methods and DefinitionsA 370 shall apply.13.2 If the results of any tests do not conform to thespecified requirements, (unless otherwise specified in theindividual material specification), retests may be made ondouble the original number of specimens from the same lot,each of wh
43、ich must conform to the requirements specified. Ifthe results of the retests do not conform to the specifiedrequirements, the lot shall be rejected.14. Inspection and Testing14.1 When the order specifies that the purchaser will inspectthe material and witness testing, the inspector representing thep
44、urchaser shall have entry at all times while work on thecontract of the purchaser is being performed, to all parts of themanufacturers works that concern the manufacture of thematerial ordered. The manufacturer shall afford the inspectorall reasonable facilities to satisfy the inspector that the mat
45、erialis being furnished in accordance with the specification.14.2 All tests (except product analysis) and inspection shallbe made at the place of manufacture before shipment, unlessotherwise specified on the order, and shall be so conducted asnot to interfere unnecessarily with the operation of the
46、works.15. Rework and Retreatment15.1 If inspection and test results fail to conform to thespecified requirements, the material may be reworked orretreated, if the manufacturer can assure that the cause offailure is curable and that the quality of the material shallconform to the specified requiremen
47、ts. After retreatment,testing shall be done in accordance with the material specifi-cation requirements.16. Rejection Subsequent to Shipment16.1 Material that shows characteristics not in conformancewith the material specification subsequent to its initial accep-tance may be rejected. In such cases,
