33、tof all screws offered for inspection at one time of one diameterand length. From each lot, the number of samples for eachrequirement shall be as follows:Number of Pieces in Lot Number of Samples800 and less 1Over 800 to 8000, incl 2Over 8000 to 22 000, incl 3Over 22 000 510.4 Should any sample fail
34、 to meet the requirements of aspecified test, double the number of samples from the same lotFIG. 1 Decarburization LimitsFIG. 2 Thread DiscontinuitiesF912M04e13shall be retested for the requirement(s) in which it failed.All ofthe additional samples shall conform to the specification or thelot shall
35、be rejected.11. Test Methods11.1 Chemical analysis shall be conducted in accordancewith Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology A 751.11.2 For socket strength torque test, the test screw shall beassembled into a tapped hole of 5H tolerance class in a steelblock (see Fig. 3) until the face of the sc
36、rew is flush with thetop surface of the test block and the set screw bears against afirm base, such as a hardened screw installed from the oppositeside of the block. The applicable hexagon key bit shall beinserted to the full depth of the set screw socket and the testtorque listed in Table 2 applied
37、 by means of a torque wrench.The screw shall be disassembled from the block and examinedfor compliance to the requirements of 6.1.11.3 Hardness shall be determined in accordance with TestMethods E18.11.4 Decarburization Tests Shall be Conducted as Follows:11.4.1 Section the thread area of the screw
38、longitudinallythrough the axis, mount, and polish it in accordance withPractice E3. Take measurements (1) at the minor diameter inthe center of the thread ridge, (2) 0.75 h toward the thread creston the perpendicular bisector of the thread ridge, (3)onthethread flank approximately at the pitch line
39、at a depth of 0.08mm, and (4) in the thread root at a depth of 0.1 h. Use one ofthe two methods for decarburization evaluation, either opticalor microhardness measurements. The microhardness measure-ment shall constitute a referee method in case of dispute.11.4.2 For optical measurement, etch the se
40、ction in 2 4 %nital. Examine the surface of the etched samples under amicroscope at 1003 using a measuring eyepiece graduated in0.03-mm increments. The width of any light etching bandnormally defines the decarburization depth. A dark etchingband indicates the possibility of carburization.11.4.3 Meas
41、ure microhardness in accordance with TestMethod E 384 on unetched specimens using a DPH 136indenter or a Knoop indenter using the following load appli-cation:Thread Pitch, P, min. LoadOver 0.6 500 gf0.6 200 gfLess than 0.6 Use optical evaluation in 11.4.211.4.3.1 Screw threads greater than 48 thread
42、s per inch,optical evaluation as described in paragraph 11.4.2 shalldetermine conformance to specification requirements. Takemeasurements at minor diameter (Reading No. 1) on the threadcrest bisector to determine base material hardness. Takemeasurements (Reading No. 2) on the bisector 0.75 h, from t
43、heminor measurement toward the thread crest. Also take mea-surements (Reading No. 3) on the thread flank at the pitch lineat a depth within 0.08 mm from the surface. Reading No. 3may be taken on the same or an adjacent thread.11.4.4 Interpret Microhardness Readings as Follows:11.4.4.1 A decrease of
44、more than 30 hardness points fromReading No. 1 to Reading No. 2 shall be regarded asdecarburization and indicates the screw does not conform tospecification requirements.11.4.4.2 An increase of more than 30 hardness points fromReading No. 1 to Reading No. 3 shall be regarded ascarburization and indi
45、cates that the screw does not conform tospecification requirements.12. Inspection12.1 The inspector representing the purchaser, upon reason-able notice, shall have free entry to all parts of the manufac-turers works that concern the manufacture of the materialordered. The manufacturer shall afford t
46、he inspector all rea-sonable facilities to satisfy him that the material is beingfurnished in accordance with this specification. All tests andinspections required by the specification that are requested bythe purchasers representative shall be made before shipment,and shall be so conducted as not t
47、o interfere unnecessarily withthe operation of the works.13. Rejection and Rehearing13.1 Material that fails to conform to the requirements ofthis specification may be rejected. Rejection should be reportedto the producer or supplier promptly and in writing. In case ofdissatisfaction with the result
48、s of the test, the producer orsupplier may make claim for a rehearing.14. Certification14.1 Upon request for the purchaser in the contract or order,a manufacturers certification that the material was manufac-tured and tested in accordance with this specification, togetherwith a report of the latest
49、mechanical tests of each stock size ineach shipment, shall be furnished at the time of shipment.15.
