These may be found in the productspecifications listed in 2.1 (Specifica
23、tions B6, B69through, B86, B240, B327, B418, B750, B792, B793, B833, B852, B860, B892,B894, B897 and , B907, and B943).4.3 Specifications for material may be altered by agreement between customer and supplier to suit individual need. If the agreedupon chemistry falls outside the limits of the approp
24、riate standard, then the material does not meet all requirements of the standard.5. Chemical Requirements5.1 Final product (ingots, slabs, jumbos, etc.) shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed in theapplicable product specification (see 2.1: Specifications B6, B69through, B
25、86, B240, B327, B418, B750, B792, B793, B833, B852,B860, B892, B894, B897, B907, and B943).5.2 Conformance shall be determined by the manufacturer by analyzing samples taken at the time the final product is pouredor samples taken from the ingots.5.2.1 If the producer has determined the chemical comp
26、osition of the metal during the course of manufacture, he shall not berequired to sample and analyze the finished product.5.2.2 Method of AnalysisAt the discretion of the producer, the determination of chemical composition shall be made inaccordance with suitable spectrochemical or chemical methods.
27、6. Sampling for Determination of Chemical Composition6.1 Samples for Spectrochemical and Other Methods of AnalysisSamples for spectrochemical and other methods of analysisshall be suitable for the form of material being analyzed and the type of analytical method used.6.2 Sampling During Production o
28、f Ingots, Slabs, Blocks or Jumbos, and Wrought Products:6.2.1 Sampling During CastingSamples may be taken from the pour during the casting of zinc and zinc alloys.6.2.1.1 Samples for spectrochemical methods may be cast as pins or discs in accordance with Practice E634 for spectrochemicalanalyses or
29、may be cast in a form or by a method the producer has determined will generate a homogeneous and representativesample.6.2.1.2 The producer should determine the sampling regimen that will efficiently result in samples that are representative of theproduct. As a suggested minimum, at least two samples
30、 sets shall be taken for batches of 25 tons (22.7 mTons) or less. At leastthree sample sets shall be taken for batches up to 150 tons (136 mTons). The average chemical analyses shall be determined fromthese samples. Unless otherwise agreed in the contact or purchase order, sampling procedure will be
31、 the manufacturers choice.6.2.2 Samples held at the producers plant shall be retained for not less than 90 days.B949 1326.3 Sampling of Ingot, Slabs, or Blocks and Jumbos and Wrought Product in the Event of a Dispute or if the Alloy is at theCustomers PlantThe sample for chemical analysis shall be t
32、aken based on the form of the product.6.3.1 Ingot, Slabs, or Product in an Easily Sampled FormIf the alloy is in the form of standard ingots, slabs, etc. at thecustomers plant, the sample for chemical analysis shall be taken in accordance with 6.3.1.16.3.1.1-6.3.1.6 through 6.3.1.6,inclusive.6.3.1.1
33、 Selection of PortionA portion representative of the total shipment or order shall be selected at random for the finalsample. The portion preferably shall be taken during loading or unloading. Not less than five ingots shall be taken at random fromeach car or truckload of the same alloy for sampling
34、. Each heat in the shipment shall be represented. If the shipment is less thana carload lot, one sample ingot shall be taken for each 10 000 lb (4540 kg) or fraction thereof. When it is deemed necessary, asample may be taken from each melt of 1000 lb (454 kg) or more.6.3.1.2 Preparation of SampleThe
35、 product shall be cleaned thoroughly to rid the surface of extraneous material. Then thesamples for chemical analysis shall be taken by sawing, milling, or drilling in such a manner as to be representative of the averagecross section of the ingot. The weight of a prepared sample shall be not less th
36、an 300 g.6.3.1.3 The saw drill, or cutter used for taking the sample shall be thoroughly cleaned. No lubricant shall be used in theoperation, and the sawings or metal chips shall be carefully treated with a magnet to remove any particles or iron introduced intaking the sample.NOTE 1Sampling by sawin
37、g is not recommended for Special High Grade zinc because complete removal of the final traces of adventitious iron fromsawings is difficult.6.3.1.4 DrillingTwo holes shall be drilled, preferably from the bottom or brand side of each ingot or slab, at two points locatedalong one diagonal of the slab
38、so that each point is halfway between the center and one extremity of the diagonal. If two holesfrom each ingot or slab do not yield the weight of sample prescribed in 6.3.1.6, a third hole shall be drilled at the center of each.Each hole shall be bored completely through, care being taken to avoid
39、starting the drill in a depression and to adjust the feed togive drillings 0.010 to 0.020 in. (0.25 to 0.51 mm) in thickness. The drill used preferably shall be non-ferrous tipped (such ascarbide, Ti-N, etc.) The diameter of the drill shall be 12 in. (12.7 mm) for Special High Grade zinc, and shall
40、be 516 in. (7.9 mm)for other grades of zinc. The drillings shall be broken or cut with clean shears into pieces not over 12 in. in length and mixedthoroughly.6.3.1.5 SawingUsing, preferably, a heat treated high-speed steel saw, make two cuts completely across and through the ingotor slab from one lo
41、ng side to the other. Each cut shall be approximately halfway between the center and each end. The width ofthe saw cut shall be sufficient to give the weight of sample prescribed in 6.3.1.6, and cuttings from all the slabs shall be mixedthoroughly to form a uniform sample.6.3.1.6 Size of Sample and
42、StorageThe prepared sample shall weigh at least 1600 g for Special High Grade zinc, and at least300 g for other grades of zinc and zinc alloys. The properly mixed sample shall be split into three equal parts, each of which shallbe placed in a sealed package, one for the manufacturer, one for the pur
43、chaser, and one for a referee, if necessary. Tight, leak-proof,paper sample envelopes or cardboard cartons may be used to hold the sample.6.3.2 An optional method of sampling for analysis may be by melting together the representative portions selected and thensampling the liquid composite by casting
44、 suitable specimens for either spectrographic or chemical analysis.6.3.2.1 Care must be taken to ensure that the melt is stirred, homogenous, and representative, since it is possible to alter thecomposition during remelting.6.3.3 Samples for chemical analysis may also be in the form of a separately
45、cast spectrographic disc specimen taken from thesame pour used to cast the product.6.3.4 Sampling of Blocks or JumbosRepresentative samples cannot be obtained from large castings (except for remelting theentire ingot in a separate furnace and then taking a sample) because of the potential for segreg
46、ation. Therefore, alloy cast in blockform shall be sampled from the pour.6.3.4.1 Sampling of Blocks or Jumbos for Nominal CompositionDrillings taken from the sides of blocks or jumbos may beused to differentiate alloys, however, as noted in 6.3.4 there is no guarantee of obtaining a representative s
47、ample for conformancedetermination.6.3.5 Sampling Wrought Product:6.3.5.1 The sampling plan for zinc for purposes of chemical analysis or mechanical property testing shall be designed such thatany lot of finished product may be adequately described by the results of the tests performed on the sample
48、s. Lot or portion sizeshall be as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier.6.3.5.2 In general, the steps for sampling wrought product are similar to those for ingot, slab and castings described in6.3.1.1-6.3.1.6.6.3.5.3 Matters of sampling and sample preparation of wrought product not covered by t
49、his specification shall be in accordancewith Practice E55.6.4 Sampling of Zinc Alloy Ingots for Routine Testing, Nominal Quality, Non-Dispute SituationsIt is a common practice toselect a sample portion from a single ingot for quality and conformance checking.B949 1336.4.1 In these instances the portion should be cut from a section that is approximately halfway between the center and each end,and avoiding any cast notches, by making two cuts completely across and through the ingot or slab from one long side to the other.6.4.2 The sample prepared from this p
