1、Designation: B 296 03Standard Practice forTemper Designations of Magnesium Alloys, Cast andWrought1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 296; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision
2、. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers a system for designating the tem-pers of magnesium alloys, cast and wrought. The designationsused in ASTM spe
3、cifications under the jurisdiction of Com-mittee B07 for magnesium alloy castings and wrought productsconform to this practice.22. Basis of Codification2.1 The designations for temper are used for all forms ofmagnesium and magnesium-alloy products except ingots andare based on the sequence of basic
4、treatments used to producethe various tempers.2.2 The temper designation follows the alloy designation,the two being separated by a dash.2.3 Basic temper designations consist of letters. Subdivi-sions of the basic tempers, where required, are indicated by adigit or digits following the letter. These
5、 designate specificsequences of basic treatments, but only operations recognizedas significantly influencing the characteristics of the productare indicated. Should some other variation of the same se-quence of basic operations be applied to the same alloy,resulting in different characteristics, the
6、n additional digits areadded to the designation.NOTE 1In material specifications containing reference to two or moretempers of the same alloy which result in identical mechanical properties,the distinction between the tempers should be covered in suitableexplanatory notes.2.4 The temper designations
7、 and the subdivisions are fullydefined and explained in Table 1. A brief outline for quickreference is given in Table 2.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of the ASTM Committee B07 on LightMetals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B07.04 onMagnesium Alloy Cast and Wrou

9、rd H 35.1.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.TABLE 1 Temper DesignationsF As FabricatedApplies to products that acquire some temper from shaping processes not having special control over the amount of strain hardening or
10、thermal treatment.O Annealed, RecrystallizedApplies to the softest temper of wrought products.H Strain Hardened (Wrought Products Only)Applies to products that have their strength increased by strain hardening with or without supplementarythermal treatments to produce partial softening. Two or more
11、digits always follow the H.Subdivisions of the 9H9 Temper:H1 Strain Hardened OnlyApplies to products that are strain hardened to obtain the desired mechanical properties without supplementary thermaltreatment. The number following this designation indicates the final degree of strain hardening.H2 St
12、rain Hardened and Then Partially AnnealedApplies to products that are strain hardened more than the desired final amount and then reduced instrength to the desired final amount by partial annealing.The number following this designation indicates the final degree of strain hardening remaining after t
13、he product has been partially annealed.H3 Strain Hardened and Then StabilizedApplies to products that are strain hardened and then stabilized by a low temperature heating to slightly lowertheir strength and increase ductility. This designation applies only to alloys which, unless stabilized, gradual
14、ly age soften at room temperature.The number following this designation indicates the degree of strain hardening remaining after the product has been strain hardened a specificamount and then stabilized.Subdivisions of the 9H1,99H2,9 and 9H39 Tempers:The digit following the designations 9H1,99H2,9 a
15、nd 9H39 indicates the final degree of strain hardening. Tempers between 0 (annealed) and 8 (full hard)are designated by numerals 1 through 7. Material having a strength about midway between that of the 0 temper and that of the 8 temper is designated by thenumeral 4 (half hard); between 0 and 4 by th
16、e numeral 2 (quarter hard); between 4 and 8 by the numeral 6 (three-quarter hard); and so forth.The third digit, when used, indicates a variation of a two-digit H temper. It is used when the degree of control of temper or the mechanical propertiesare different from but close to those for the two-dig
17、it H temper to which it is added. Numerals 1 through 9 may be arbitrarily assigned for an alloy and productto indicate a specific degree of control of temper or specified mechanical property limits.W Solution Heat-TreatedAn unstable temper applicable only to alloys that spontaneously age at room tem
18、perature after solution heat treatment. Thisdesignation is specific only when the period of natural aging is indicated: for example, W12 hour.T Thermally Treated to Produce Stable Tempers Other Than F, O, or HApplies to products that are thermally treated, with or without supplementarystrain hardeni
19、ng, to produce stable tempers. One or more digits always follow the T. Numerals 1 through 10 have been assigned to indicate specificsequence of basic treatments as follows:Subdivisions of the “T” Tempers:T1 Cooled From an Elevated Temperature Shaping Process and Naturally Aged to a Substantially Sta
20、ble ConditionApplies to products for which the rateof cooling from an elevated temperature shaping process, such as casting, or extruding, is such that their strength is increased by room temperatureaging.T3 Solution Heat Treated and Then Cold WorkedApplies to products that are cold worked to improv
21、e strength, or in which the effect of cold work inflattening and straightening is recognized in applicable mechanical properties.T4 Solution Heat Treated and Naturally Aged to a Substantially Stable ConditionApplies to products that are not cold worked after solution heattreatment, or in which the e
22、ffect of cold work in flattening or straightening may not be recognized in applicable mechanical properties.T5 Cooled From an Elevated-Temperature Shaping Process and Then Artificially AgedApplies to products that are cooled from an elevated temperatureshaping process, such as casting or extruding,
23、and then artificially aged to improve mechanical properties or dimensional stability or both.T6 Solution Heat Treated and Then Artificially AgedApplies to products that are not cold worked after solution heat treatment, or in which the effect ofcold work is flattening or straightening may not be rec
24、ognized in applicable mechanical properties.T7 Solution Heat Treated and Then StabilizedApplies to products that are stabilized to carry them beyond the point of maximum strength to providecontrol of some special characteristics.T8 Solution Heat Treated, Cold Worked, and Then Artificially AgedApplie
25、s to products that are cold worked to improve strength, or in which the effect ofcold work in flattening or straightening is recognized in applicable mechanical properties.T9 Solution Heat Treated, Artificially Aged, and Then Cold WorkedApplies to products that are cold worked to improve strength.T1
26、0 Cooled From an Elevated Temperature Shaping Process, Artificially Aged, and Then Cold WorkedApplies to products that are artificially aged aftercooling from an elevated temperature shaping process, such as casting or extruding, and then cold worked to further improve strength.A period of natural a
27、ging at room temperature may occur between or after the operations listed for tempers T3 through T10. Control of this period isexercised when it is metallurgically important.Additional digits may be added to designations T1 through T10 to indicate a variation in treatment that significantly alters t
