Chemical Requirements6.1 LimitsThe alloys shall conform to the requirement
17、s asto chemical composition prescribed in Table 1. Conformanceshall be determined by the producer by analyzing samplestaken at the time the ingots are made. If the producer hasdetermined the chemical composition of the metal during thecourse of manufacture, he shall not be required to sample andanal

19、Each heat in the shipment shall be represented. If the shipmentis less than a carload lot, one sample ingot shall be taken foreach 10 000 lb (4540 kg) or fraction thereof. When it is deemednecessary, a sample may be taken from each melt of 1000 lb(454 kg) or more.6.3 Methods of SamplingSamples from
20、ingots for deter-mination of chemical composition shall be taken in accordancewith one of the following methods:6.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken from thematerial by drilling, sawing, milling, turning, or clipping arepresentative piece or pieces to obtain weight of preparedsample no
21、t less than 100 g. Sampling shall be in accordancewith Practice E88.6.3.2 By agreement, an optional method of sampling wouldbe to select, at random, ingots of the same heat, melt togetherrepresentative portions of each ingot selected, and cast a disc orsuitable sample from the liquid composite for s
22、pectrographic orchemical analysis.6.3.3 Samples for chemical analysis may also be in the formof a separately cast spectrographic disc specimen taken fromthe same pour used to cast the ingot.6.3.4 Alternate procedures for sampling and exchange ofsamples shall be agreed upon between the producer and t
23、hecustomer.6.4 Method of AnalysisThe determination of chemicalcomposition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemi-cal Test Methods E536, suitable spectrochemical methodsISO 3815-1 and ISO 3815-2, or other methods. In case ofdispute, the results should preferably be secured by TestMethods E53
