2、f revision, the year 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 guide covers the identification of metals and alloysin computerized material property dat
3、abases. It establishesessential and desirable data elements that serve to uniquelyidentify and describe a particular metal or alloy sample as wellas properties that identify a given metal or alloy in general.1.1.1 This guide does not necessarily provide sufficient dataelements to describe weld metal
4、, metal matrix composites, orjoined metals.1.1.2 The data element identified herein are not all germaneto every metal or alloy group.1.1.3 Different sets of data elements may also be appliedwithin a given metal or alloy group depending on conditions orapplications specific to that metal or alloy gro
5、up. Further,within a particular metal or alloy group, different sets of dataelements may be used to identify specific material conditions.1.1.4 Table 1 on Recommended Data Elements and Tables2-17 on values for specific data elements appear at the end ofthis guide.1.2 Some of the data elements in thi
6、s guide may be usefulfor other purposes. However, this guide does not attempt todocument the essential and desirable data element for anypurpose except for the identification of metals and alloys incomputerized material property databases. Other purposes,such as material production, material procure
7、ment, and mate-rial processing, each may have different material data reportingrequirements distinct from those covered in this guide. Aspecific example is the contractually required report for amaterial property testing series. Such a report may not containall the data elements considered essential
8、 for a specificcomputerized database; conversely, this guide may not containall the data elements considered essential for a contracted testreport.1.3 Results from material tests conducted as part of theprocurement process are often used to determine adherence toa specification. While this guide inc
9、ludes a number of testresult data elements, such data elements are included in thisguide only for the purposes of material identification.1.4 Reporting of contracted test results, such as certificationtest results, shall follow the requirements described in thematerial specification, or as agreed up
10、on between the purchaserand the manufacturer.1.5 This guide contains a limited number of data elementsrelated to material test results. These data elements are formaterial identification purposes and are not intended to replacethe more detailed sets of data elements listed in guides such asGuide E13
11、13 covering data recording formats for mechanicaltesting of metals. For material identification purposes, the dataelements in this guide include typical, nominal, or summaryproperties normally derived from a population of individualspecimen tests. If warranted by the scope of a particulardatabase sy

Separate systems have also evolved to describe thethermomechanical condition of metals and alloys in order tonarrow their description. It is the separation into logical dataelements from these complex, historically significant, andoverlapping systems of identification that is the challenge inthe identific
