Scope*1.1 This specification covers zinc alloys in ingot form forremelting for the manufacture of Spin Castings as specified anddesignated,
3、 as shown in Table 1. Seven alloy compositions arespecified, designated as follows:Common Traditional UNSSpin Casting Alloy SC-A . .Spin Casting Alloy SC-B . .Spin Casting Alloy SC-C . .Spin Casting Alloy SC-D HJ10 .Spin Casting Alloy SC-E HJ20 .Spin Casting Alloy SC-F HJ40 .ZA-73 . .1.2 Zinc alloys
4、 #2, #3, #5, and ZA-8 specified in Specifi-cation B240 are also used in the spin casting process.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 in
5、dependently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to become familiarwith all haza

15、he end of this standard.Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.5.2 The material covered by this specification shall be ofuniform quality and shall be free from dross or other harmfulcontamination.6. Chemical Requirements6.1 L
16、imitsThe alloy shall conform to the requirements 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 manufact
17、ure, it shall not be required to sample andanalyze the finished product.6.2 In case of dispute, the following requirements shallapply:6.2.1 Number of SamplesSamples for verification ofchemical composition shall be taken as follows:6.2.2 If the ingots are shipped in carload lots of the samealloy, not
18、 less than five (5) ingots shall be taken at random fromthe carload for sampling. If the shipment is less than a carloadlot, one (1) sample ingot shall be taken from each 10 000 lb.4500 kg or fraction thereof. When it is deemed necessary, asample may be taken from each melt of 1000 lb. 450 kg ormore
19、.6.3 Methods of SamplingSamples from 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 t
20、o obtain weight of preparedsample not less than 100 g. Sampling shall be in accordancewith Practice E88.6.3.2 By agreement, an optional method of sampling foranalysis may be by melting together representative portions ofeach ingot selected, and then sampling the liquid composite bycasting suitable s
21、pecimens for either spectrographic or chemi-cal analysis.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 s
22、hould preferably be secured by TestMethods E536 or ISO 3815-1 or ISO 3815-2 and shall be thebasis of acceptance.6.5 Samples for spectrochemical and other methods ofanalysis shall be suitable for the form of material beinganalyzed and the type of analytical method used (for example,see Practice E634.
23、7. Source Inspection7.1 If the purchaser desires that his representative inspect orwitness the inspection and testing of the product prior toshipment, such agreement shall be made by the purchaser andproducer or supplier as part of the contract or purchase order.7.2 When such inspection or witness o
24、f inspection andtesting is agreed upon, the producer or supplier shall afford thepurchasers representative all reasonable facilities to satisfyhim that the product meets the requirements of this specifica-tion. Inspection and tests shall be conducted so there is nounnecessary interference with the p
25、roducers operations.8. Rejection and Rehearing8.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements of thisspecification may be rejected. Rejection should be reported tothe producer or supplier promptly and in writing. In case ofdissatisfaction with the results of the test, the producer orsupplier
26、may make claim for a rehearing. If the rehearingestablishes that the material does not conform to the require-ments of this specification, as much of the rejected originalmaterial as possible shall be returned to the producer orsupplier.9. Identification Marking9.1 All ingots shall be properly marke
27、d for identificationwith the producers name or brand.9.2 Each bundle or skid shall be identified with the produc-ers heat, lot or other identification mark.9.3 Each ingot, bundle or skid shall be marked with theappropriate Color Code for the alloy as per North Americanrequirements in Practice B908.1
28、0. Preparation for Delivery10.1 PackagingUnless otherwise specified, the ingot shallbe packaged to provide adequate protection during normalhandling and transportation. Each package shall contain onlyone alloy unless otherwise agreed upon.TABLE 1 Chemical and North American Color Code RequirementsAl

33、 standard since the last issue (B952 - 08)that may impact the use of this standard. (Approved October 1, 2009.)(1) SI values were added to bring the standard into compliancewith ASTM Form and Style policies for SI.(2) The standard was republished as a combined standard,having both SI values and inch
34、-pound values regarded sepa-rately as standard. The Scope Section 1.3 was revised to reflectthis change.(3) Section 6 was revised to include SI values.(4) Three new alloy compositions, SC-D, SC-E, SC-F wereadded to Table 1.(5) The reference to Test Methods E47 as a method to analyzefor tin only has
