2、 of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers hot- or cold-worked hafniumrod and wire.1.2 This specification contains two material gra
3、des, onespecifically for nuclear applications (Grade R1) and one forcommercial alloying applications (Grade R3).1.3 The products covered include the following:1.3.1 Rod38 to 1 in. (9.5 to 25 mm) in diameter.1.3.2 Wire less than38 in. (9.5 mm) in diameter.1.4 Unless a single unit is used, for example
4、, corrosion massgain in mg/dm2, the values stated in either inch-pound or SIunits are to be regarded separately as standard. The valuesstated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem must be used independently of the other. SI valuescannot be mixed with inch-pound values.1.5 T
5、his standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
