1、Designation: B654/B654M 10Standard Specification forNiobium-Hafnium Alloy Foil, Sheet, Strip, and Plate1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B654/B654M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of las
2、t revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers hafnium alloyed niobium foil,sheet, strip, and plate.1.2 The material covered by this specifica
3、tion is R04295,niobium-base alloy containing approximately 10 % hafniumand 1 % titanium.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independent
4、ly of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 14, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety problems,if any, associ
5、ated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.

The observed value or a calculated value shall berounded off “to the nearest unit” in the last right-hand digitused in exp
38、ressing the specification limit, in accordance withthe rounding-off method of Practice E29.13. Sampling13.1 Samples shall be taken from the material to determineconformity to this specification. The samples shall be taken soas to be representative of the finished products.13.2 Care shall be exercise
39、d to ensure that the sampleselected for testing is representative of the material, and that itis not contaminated by the sampling procedure. If there is anyquestion relating to the sampling techniques or analysisthereof, the methods of sampling and analysis shall be asagreed upon between the manufac
40、turer and the purchaser.14. Test Methods14.1 The tensile limits shall apply to samples taken in eitherthe longitudinal or transverse direction of processing.14.2 Room Temperature Tension TestConduct room tem-perature tension tests in accordance with Test Methods E8.Determine the yield strength by th
41、e 0.2 % offset method. Smallsize (1-in. 25-mm) gage length specimens, proportional to thestandard specimen, can be used. Determine tensile propertiesusing a strain rate of 0.003 to 0.007 in./in./min mm/mm/minthrough the yield point. After the yield strength has beenexceeded, increase the cross-head
42、speed to approximately 0.05in./in./min mm/mm/min to failure.14.3 Elevated Temperature Tension TestsConduct el-evated temperature tension tests in accordance with TestMethods E21 at the temperature shown in Table 3. One inch25 mm gage lengths can be used. Strain rates shall be agreedupon by purchaser
43、 and manufacturer.14.4 Chemical TestsConduct the chemical analyses by thestandard techniques normally used by the manufacturer. GuideE2626 may be used as a guide for chemical analysis tech-niques.15. Inspection15.1 The manufacturer shall inspect the material covered bythis specification prior to shi
44、pment.15.2 If so specified on the purchase order, the purchaser orhis representative may witness the testing and inspection of thematerial at the place of manufacture. In such cases, thepurchaser shall state in his purchase order which tests hedesires to witness. The manufacturer shall give ample no
45、tice tothe purchaser as to the time and place of the designated test. Ifthe purchasers representative does not present himself at theagreed upon time for the testing, and if no new date is agreedupon, the manufacturer shall consider the requirement for thepurchasers inspection at the place of manufa
46、cture to bewaived. When the inspector representing the purchaser doesappear at the designated time and place, the manufacturer shallafford him, without charge, all reasonable facilities to see thatthe material is being furnished in accordance with this speci-fication. This inspection shall be conduc
47、ted so as not tointerfere unnecessarily with production operations.16. Rejection and Rehearing16.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements ofthis specification may be rejected. Rejection should be reportedto the producer or supplier promptly and in writing. In case ofdissatisfaction with
48、the results of the test, the producer orsupplier may make claim for a rehearing.17. Referee17.1 In the event of disagreement between the manufacturerand the purchaser of the conformance of the material to therequirements of this specification, or any special tests specifiedby the purchaser, a mutual
49、ly acceptable referee shall performthe tests in question. The results of the referees testing shall beused in determining conformance of the material to thisspecification.18. Certification18.1 A producers or suppliers certification shall be fur-nished to the purchaser that the material was manufactured,sampled, tested, and inspected in accordance with this speci-fication and has been found to meet the requirements. A reportof the test results shall be furnis
