AAnalysis shall be completed for all elements listed in this table for each grade. The analysis results for the elements not quantified in the table need not be reported unless the concentration level is greater than 0.1 % each or 0.4 % total. BLower hydrogen may be obtained by negotiation with the manufacturer. CFinal product analysis. DNeed not be reported. EA residual is an element present in a metal or an alloy in small quantities and is inherent to the manufacturing process but not added intentionally. In titanium these elements include aluminum, vanadium, tin, chromium, molybdenum, niobium, zirconium, hafnium, bismuth, ruthenium, palladium, yttrium, copper, silicon, cobalt, tantalum, nickel, boron, manganese, and tungsten. FThe purchaser may, in his written purchase order, request analysis for specific residual elements not listed in this specification. GThe percentage of titanium is determined by difference. |

Materials and Manufacture | |||||||||||||||||
Seamless tube shall be made from hollow billet by any cold reducing or cold drawing process that will yield a product meeting the requirements of this specification. Seamless tube is produced with a continuous periphery in all stages of manu- facturing operations. Welded tube shall be made from flat-rolled product by an automatic arc-welding process or other method of welding that will yield a product meeting the requirements of this specification. Use of a filler material is not permitted. Welded/cold worked tube (WCS) shall be made from welded tube manufactured as specified. The welded tube shall be sufficiently cold worked to final size in order to transform the cast weld microstructure into a typical equiaxed microstructure in the weld upon subsequent heat treatment. The product shall meet the requirements for seamless tube of this specification. The tube shall be furnished in the annealed condition with the exception of Grades 9, 18 and 28, which, at the option of the purchaser, can be furnished in either the annealed or the cold worked and stress relieved condition, defined as at a minimum temperature of 600°F (316°C) for not less than 30 min. |
|||||||||||||||||
Tensile Requirements | |||||||||||||||||
The room temperature tensile properties of the tube in the condition normally supplied shall conform to the requirements prescribed. Mechanical properties for conditions other than those given in this table may be established by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. | |||||||||||||||||
