The characteristics are rated from (1) to (5), (1) being the best and (5) being the least desirable alloy. In applying these ratings, it should be noted that all the alloys have sufficiently good characteristics to be accepted by users and producers of die castings. Hence a rating of (5) indicates a commercial alloy, although in certain cases its application may be limited or its manufacture may be restricted to relatively simple castings. 17. Keywords 17.1 aluminum; die casting ANNEXES. (Mandatory Information) AL. BASIS FOR INCLUSION OF PROPERTY LIMITS ‘ALL Limits are established at a level at which a statistical evaluation of the data indicates that 99% of the population obtained from all standard material meets the limit with 95 % confidence. For the products described, mechanical property limits for the respective size ranges are based on the analyses of at least 100 data from standard production material with no ‘more than ten data from a given lot. All tests are performed in accordance with the appropriate ASTM test methods.

The data in Table X2.1 do not constitute a part of this specification because the data only indicates mechanical prop- erties that may be expected of test specimens when cast in a separate tensile test bar die and that conform to the chemical composition specified. Different machines and dies continue to bbe necessary for die castings and test bars. Comparison between static breakdown or proof tests and the mechanical properties of separately die cast test bars will show that test bars made in a different machine in a different die have no correlation with the die casting other than a common chemical composition. It should be thoroughly understood that the data in Table X2.1 represent die-cast test specimens and not specimens cut from commercial die-cast parts. For this reason, it is considered that the only practical method for mechanical property control is proof testing the whole die casting.

METRIC EQUIVALENTS X3.1 The SI unit for strength properties (MPa) is in accordance with the Intemational System of Units (SD. The derived SI unit for force is the newton (N), which is defined as that force which when applied to a body having a mass of one kilogram gives it an acceleration of one metre per second squared (N = kg-nvs"), The derived SI unit for pressure or stress is the newton per square metre (N/m*), which has been ‘named the pascal (Pa) by the General Conference on Weights and Measures. Since 1 ksi = 6 894 757 Pa the metric equiva- lents are expressed as megapascal (MPa), which is the same as ‘N/m? and N/mm,qh Bes SUMMARY OF CHANGES ‘Committee B-7 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue (B 85-96) that may impact the use ofthis standard.
