This specification covers zirconium and zirconium-alloy castings for general corrosion-resistant and industrial applications. Material for this specification shall be melted by conventional processes used for reactive metals. Typical methods include the consumable electrode and inductoslag melting processes. The material shall conform to the required chemical composition for zirconium, hafnium, iron, chromium, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, phosphorus, tin, and niobium. Product analysis and heat treatment shall be performed on the material, and shall conform within the specified check analysis tolerances.
Область применения1.1 This specification covers zirconium and zirconium-alloy castings for general corrosion-resistant and industrial applications.
1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
