NIOBIUM-TITANIUM ALLOY, CONT., P. 2

3. Technical Requirements

3.1 Dimensions: Dimensions shall be specified in the purchase order. Permissible variations in diameter for finished round product shall be as follows:

Diameter, inch Permissible Variations from Diameter, inch
Plus Minus
1/8 to 3/8, excl. .002 .002
3/8 to 1/2 excl. Per Purchase Order
1/2 to 2, incl. .006 .006

Finished product shall not be out-of-round by more than one-half the total permissible variations in diameter specified above. Permissible variations in straightness of finished products shall be as follows:

Diameter, inch Permissible Deviation from Straightness, inch
1/8 to 1/2, excl. .045 per foot of length
1/2 to 2, incl. .060 per foot of length

Straightness shall be determined on a calibrated flatness table using standard techniques. No kinks.

3.2 Cleanliness

A. In Process - Precautions shall be taken during manufacture to assure removal of substances that might be deleterious to use of the finished product for the intended application.

B. Finished Product - Final cleaning shall be performed subsequent to performance of all nondestructive examinations. Materials shall be clean to the extent that no contamination is visible to the unaided eye, corrected for 20/20 vision, when viewed under an illumination of at least 100 foot-candles on the surface being inspected. 4.

Mechanical Properties

4.1 Tensile Properties. The tensile properties for each lot shall be provided for information, and shall include the ultimate tensile strength, the yield strength, percent elongation, and the percent reduction in area. Tensile testing shall be done in accordance with the applicable provisions of ASTM E 8.

4.2 Hardness. The hardness for each lot shall be less than 170 BHN. Hardness testing shall be done in accordance with the applicable provisions of ASTM E 92, with the magnitude of the test load stated in the test report.

5. Surface Requirements

5.1 Surface Conditions. The finished materials shall be free from visually detectable cracks, seams, slivers, blisters, laps, gouges and other injurious imperfections, and from discontinuities unacceptable to specified nondestructive examination and tolerance requirements.

5.2 Surface Texture. The surface texture shall be 125 microinch finish (arithmetical average) or better for specified finished product. In process (or intermediate) material may be supplied in accordance with standard supplier practices.
