NIOBIUM and ALLOY PLATE, SHEET and STRIP, CONT., P. 3

3.4 Bend Ductility. Representative samples of the materials in final form shall withstand the following bend test at room temperatures without failure when tested according to procedures described in the most recent revision of the Materials Advisory Board report MAB-216-M, "Evaluation Test Methods for Refractory Metal Sheet Materials." The samples shall be sectioned with the long axis of the bend specimens perpendicular to the final rolling direction.

3.4.1 Sheet 0.060" in thickness and under shall be bent over a 1T radius through 105 degrees at a ram speed of one inch/per minute.

3.4.2 Sheet over 0.060" to 0.187" in thickness shall be bent over a 1T radius through 105 degrees at a ram speed of one inch/per minute.

3.5 Grain Size. Unless otherwise specified, the minimum average ASTM grain size number shall be in accordance with Table IV.

Table IV.

4 Dimensions and Tolerances

4.1 Dimensions and Tolerances. Unless otherwise specified, tolerances shall be as defined in AMS 2242.

4.2 Flatness. Total deviation from flatness of sheet and strip shall not exceed 6% as determined by the following formula: H/L X 100 = percent of flatness deviation. where H = maximum distance from a flat reference deviation. and L = minimum distance from this point to the point of contact with the reference surface.

4.3 Marking for Identification. Each plate, sheet, and strip shall be suitably marked with the contract number or order number, ingot melt number, specification number, and composition number.

5. Quality

5.1 General. The finished product shall be visibly free from oxide or scale of any nature, grease, oil residual lubricants, and other extraneous materials. Cracks, laps, seams, gouges, and fins shall be unacceptable.

5.2 Surface Rework. All surface pores, gouges, and other defects deeper than 0.005" or 3% of the thickness, whichever is smaller, shall be unacceptable. Sunace imperfections may be faired smooth to remove any notch effect provided dimensional tolerances are still maintained.

5.3 Edge. The edges shall be produced by shearing, slitting or sawing. The burr height shall not exceed five (5) percent of the thickness of the material.
