27、s, bars, plates, and forgings, it is permissible to remove minor surface imperfections by grinding if the resultant area meetsthe dimensional and surface finish requirements of this specification.6.3 ConditionMaterial shall be furnished in the annealed annealed, stress relieved, or cold-worked condi
28、tion.or hot workedcondition. Mechanical properties for conditions other than those listed in Table 3 may be established by agreement between thesupplier and the purchaser.7. Chemical Requirements7.1 The heat analysis shall conform to the chemical composition of Table 1. Ingot analysis may be used fo
29、r reporting allchemical requirements, except hydrogen. Samples for hydrogen shall be taken from the finished mill product. SupplierThe suppliershall not ship material with chemistry outside the requirements specified in Table 1.7.1.1 Requirements for the major and minor elemental constituents are li
30、sted in Table 1. Also listed are important residualelements. Analysis for elements not listed in Table 1 is not required to verify compliance with this specification.7.2 Product Analysis:7.2.1 Product analysis tolerances do not broaden the specified heat analysis requirements but cover variations in
31、 themeasurement of chemical content between laboratories. The product analysis tolerances shall conform to the product tolerancesin Table 2.7.2.2 The product analysis is either for the purpose of verifying the composition of a heat or manufacturing lot or fordetermining variations in the composition
32、 within the heat.7.2.3 Acceptance or rejection of a heat or manufacturing lot of material may be made by the purchaser on the basis of thisproduct analysis. Product analyses outside the tolerance limits allowed in Table 2 are cause for rejection of the product. A refereeanalysis may be used if agree
33、d upon by supplier and purchaser.7.2.4 For referee purposes, use Test Methods E539, E1409, E1447, E1941and, E2371, and E2626 or other analytical methodsagreed upon between the purchaser and the supplier.7.3 Samples for chemical analysis shall be representative of the material being tested. The utmos
34、t care must be used in samplingtitanium for chemical analysis because of its affinity for elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. In cutting samples foranalysis, therefore, the operation should be carried out insofar as possible in a dust-free atmosphere. Cutting tools should be cleanand sh
35、arp. Samples for analysis should be stored in suitable containers.8. Mechanical Requirements8.1 The material supplied under this specification shall conform to the mechanical property requirements in Table 3.Alternativeproperties may be agreed upon between the purchaser and supplier.8.2 Specimens fo
36、r tension tests shall be machinedprepared and tested in accordance with Test Methods E8E8/E8M. or ISO6892. Tensile properties shall be determined using a strain rate of 0.003 to 0.007 in./in./min (mm/mm/min)mm/mm/minin./in./min through yield and then the crosshead speed may be increased so as to pro
37、duce fracture in approximately one additionalminute.8.3 For sheet and strip, the bend test specimen shall withstand being bent cold through an angle of 105 without fracture in theoutside surface of the bent portion. The bend shall be made over a mandrel with a diameter equal to that shown in Table 3

Shouldany of t
40、hese test specimens not meet the specified requirements, test two additional test pieces representative of the same lot, inthe same manner, for each failed test specimen. The lot will be considered in compliance only if both additional test pieces meetthe specified requirements.8.4.2 Tensile tests r
41、esults for which any specimen fractures outside the gage length shall be considered acceptable, if both theelongation and reduction of area meet the minimum requirements specified. Refer to Sections 7.11.4 and 7.12.5 of Test MethodsE8E8/E8M. If either the elongation or reduction of area is less than
42、 the minimum requirement, discard the test and retest. Retestone specimen for each specimen that did not meet the minimum requirements.8.4.3 Sheet, Strip, and PlatePerform at least one tension test from each lot in the longitudinal direction. Perform at least onebend test from each lot in both the l
