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 pounds, 4.13 Alloy (7.1), 4.14 Temper (9:1), 4.1.5 Finish for sheet in nonheat-treatabe alloys (Section Dd, 4.1.6 For sheet, whether flat or coiled, Oi id eel lace size), 4.1.8 Tensile property limits and dimensional tolerances for sizes not covered in Table 2 or 3 ofthis specification and in ANSI H35.2, respectively. 4.2 Additionally, orders for materi to this specification ‘shall include the following information when required by the urchaser: 4.2.1 Whether supply of one of the pairs of tempers where shown in Table 2, H14 or H24, H34 of H2¢ is specifically excluded (Table 2, footnote D), 4.2.2 Whether heat treatment in accordance with Practice B 597 is required (8.2), 4.2.3 Whether bend tests are required (12.1), 4.2.4 Whether testing for strest-corrosion cracking resis- tance of alloy 2124-T851 is required (13.1), 4.2.5 Whether ultrasonic inspection for aerospace or pres- sure vessel applications is required (Section 17), 4.2.6 Whether inspection or witness of inspection and tests by the purchaser’s representative is required prior 0 ‘material shipment (18.1), 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 0, the levels. of preservation, packaging, and packing required (21.3). ‘5. Responsibility for Quality Assurance 5.1. Responsibility for Inspection and Tests—Unless other- ite 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 facilites for the performance of the inspection and test requirements specified herein, unless disapproved 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 ‘ensure that material conforms to prescribed requirements, 5.2 Lot Definition—An inspection lot shall be defined as foilows: 5.2.1 For heat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shall consist of an identifiable quantity of material of the sameASTM B209 96 MH O759530 0588987 S47 mm 4 B 209 ‘mill form, alloy, temper, and thickness traceable to a hheat-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 inspec- tion at one time. 6. General Quality 6.1 Unless otherwise specified, the material shall be sup- blied in the mil 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 negoti- ation between producer and purchaser. 6.2 Each sheet and plate shall be examined to determine conformance to this specification with respect 10 general Quality and identification marking. On approval of the Purchaser, 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 ‘chemical composition limits specified in Table |. Conform- ‘ance shall be determined by the producer by analyzing samples taken at the time the ingots are poured, 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, he shall not be required to sample and analyze the finished product, Nore 3—it is standard practice in the United States aluminum industry to determine conformance tothe chemical composition limits rior to further proseting of ingots into wrought products Due tothe ‘oatinuous nature ofthe proces, it isnot practical to keep a specif ingot analysis identified with a specific quantity of finished mate, 1.2 Number of Samples-—The number of samples taken for determination of chemical composition shall be 2s follows: 7.2.1 When samples are taken at the time the ingots are ‘poured, at least one sample shall be taken for each group of ‘ingots poured simultaneously from the same source of ‘molten metal, 7.2.2 When samples are taken from the finished or ‘semifinished product, a sample shall be taken to represent ‘each 4000 Ib, 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 acoordance 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 sarmple of not less than 75 g, Sanapling shall be in accordance with Practice E55, 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.

The Siren an yee ut ed aot sr vd cel spre yas I MN fe 14 Methods of Analysis—The determination of chemical composition shall be made in accordance with rermbie chemical (Test Methods 34), or specirochemical (hes Methods E 101, £27, E607, and E 1251) methods. Otter methods may be used only when no published ASTM mothe is availble, In case of dispute, the methods of analyst shal be ‘agreed upon between the producer end purchaser 8, Heat Treatment 8.1 Unless specified in 8.2, producer or supplier heat treatment for the applicable tempers in Table 3 shall be in ‘cordance with MIL-H-6088. 8.2 When specified, heat treatment of applicable tempers in Table 3 shall be in accordance with Practice B 597. 9.
