Terminology 3.1 Definitions: 3.2 Refer to Terminology B 881 for definitions of product terms used in this specification. 3.3 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard: 3.3.1 capable of—The term capable of as used in this specification means that the test need not be performed by the producer of the material. However, should testing by the purchaser establish that the material does not meet these requirements, the material shall be subject to rejection. 4. Ordering Information 4.1 Orders for material to this specification shall include the following information: 4.1.1 This specification designation (which includes the number, the year, and the revision letter, if applicable), 4.1.2 Quantity in pieces or kilograms, 4.1.3 Alloy (7.1), 4.1.4 Temper (9.1), 4.1.5 Finish for sheet in nonheat-treatable alloys (Section 1), 4.1.6 For sheet, whether flat or coiled, 4.1.7 Dimensions (thickness, width, and length or coil size), 4.2 Additionally, orders for material to this specification shall include the following information when required by the purchaser: 4.2.1 Whether a supply of one of the pairs of tempers where shown in Table 2, (H14 or H24) or (H34 or H24), is specifically excluded (Table 2, Footnote E), 4.2.2 Whether bend tests are required (12.1), 4.2.3 Whether heat treatment in accordance with Practice B 918 is required (8.2), 4.2.4 Whether testing for stress-corrosion cracking resis- tance of alloy 2124-T851 is required (13.1), 4.2.5 Whether ultrasonic inspection for aerospace or pres- sure vessels applications is required (Section 17), 4.2.6 Whether inspection or witness of inspection and tests by the purchaser’s representative is required prior to material shipment (Section 18), 4.2.7 Whether certification is required (Section 22), 4.2.8 Whether marking for identification is required (20.1), and 4.2.9 Whether Practices B 660 applies and, if so, the levels of preservation, packaging, and packing required (21.3). 5. Responsibility for Quality Assurance 5.1 Responsibility for Inspection and Tests—Unless other- wise specified in the contract or purchase order, the producer is responsible for the performance of all inspection and test requirements specified herein. The producer may use his own or any other suitable facilities for the performance of the inspection and test requirements specified herein, unless dis- approved by the purchaser in the order or at the time of contract signing. The purchaser shall have the right to perform any of the inspections and tests set forth in this specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to assure that material conforms to prescribed requirements. 5.2 Lot Definition—An inspection lot shall be defined as follows: 5.2.1 For heat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shall con- sist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same mill form, alloy, temper, and thickness traceable to a heat-treat lot or lots, and subjected to inspection at one time. 5.2.2 For nonheat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shall consist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same mill form, alloy, temper, and thickness subjected to inspection at one time. 6. General Quality 6.1 Unless otherwise specified, the material shall be sup- plied in the mill finish and shall be uniform as defined by the requirements of this specification and shall be commercially sound. Any requirement not so covered is subject to negotia- tion between producer and purchaser. 6.2 Each sheet and plate shall be examined to determine conformance to this specification with respect to general quality and identification marking. On approval of the pur- chaser, however, the producer may use a system of statistical quality control for such examinations. 7. Chemical Composition 7.1 Limits—The sheet and plate shall conform to the chemi- cal composition limits specified in Table 1. Conformance shall be determined by the producer by analyzing samples taken at the time the ingots are cast, or samples taken from the finished or semifinished product. If the producer has determined the chemical composition of the material during the course of manufacture, additional sampling and analysis of the finished product shall not be required. NOTE 4—It is standard practice in the United States aluminum industry to determine conformance to the chemical composition limits prior to further processing of ingots into wrought products. Due to the continuous nature of the process, it is not practical to keep a specific ingot analysis identified with a specific quantity of finished material. 7.2 Number of Samples—The number of samples taken for determination of chemical composition shall be as follows: 7.2.1 When samples are taken at the time the ingots are cast, at least one sample shall be taken for each group of ingots cast simultaneously from the same source of molten metal. 4 Available in the Related Materials section (gray pages) of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 02.02. 5 Available from Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), 400 Commonwealth Dr., Warrendale, PA 15096-0001, http://www.sae.org.

Licensed to for licensee's use only. 22 Oct 2007 This electronic file or any print therefrom may not be redistributed elsewhere over computer networks or otherwise. 7.2.2 When samples are taken from the finished or semifin- ished product, a sample shall be taken to represent each 2000 kg, or fraction thereof, of material in the lot, except that not more than one sample shall be required per piece. 7.3 Methods of Sampling—Samples for determination of chemical composition shall be taken in accordance with one of the following methods: 7.3.1 Samples for chemical analysis shall be taken by drilling, sawing, milling, turning, or clipping a representative piece or pieces to obtain a prepared sample of not less than 75 g. Sampling shall be in accordance with Practice E 55. 7.3.2 Sampling for spectrochemical analysis shall be in accordance with Practices E 716. Samples for other methods of analysis shall be suitable for the form of material being analyzed and the type of analytical method used. NOTE 5—It is difficult to obtain a reliable analysis of each of the components of clad materials using material in its finished state. A reasonably accurate determination of the core composition can be made if the cladding is substantially removed prior to analysis. The cladding composition is more difficult to determine because of the relatively thin layer and because of diffusion of core elements to the cladding. The correctness of cladding alloy used can usually be verified by a combina- tion of metallographic examination and spectrochemical analysis of the surface at several widely separated points. 7.4 Methods of Analysis—The determination of chemical composition shall be made in accordance with suitable chemi- cal (Test Methods E 34) or spectrochemical (Test Methods E 607 and E 1251) methods. Other methods may be used only when no published ASTM test method is available. In case of dispute, the methods of analysis shall be agreed upon between the producer and purchaser. 8. Heat Treatment 8.1 Unless specified in 8.2 or except as noted in 8.3, producer or supplier heat treatment for the applicable tempers in Table 3 shall be in accordance with AMS 2772. 8.2 When specified, heat treatment of applicable tempers in Table 3 shall be in accordance with Practice B 918. 8.3 Alloy 6061 plate may be produced using hot rolling mill solution heat treatment in accordance with Practice B 947 when aged in accordance with Practice B 918 for the produc- tion of T651 tempers, as applicable. 9. Tensile Properties of Material as Supplied 9.1 Limits—The sheet and plate shall conform to the re- quirements for tensile properties as specified in Table 2 and Table 3 for nonheat-treatable and heat-treatable alloys, respec- tively. 9.2 Number of Samples—One sample shall be taken from each end of each parent coil, or parent plate, but no more than one sample per 1000 kg of sheet or 2000 kg of plate, or part thereof, in a lot shall be required. Other procedures for selecting samples may be employed if agreed upon between the producer and purchaser. 9.3 Test Specimens—Geometry of test specimens and the location in the product from which they are taken shall be as specified in Test Methods B 557M. 9.4 Test Methods—The tension test shall be made in accor- dance with Test Methods B 557M. 10. Producer Confirmation of Heat-Treat Response 10.1 In addition to the requirements of 9.1, material in
