When referenced in another material specication, this specification must be also be complied wth 2.0 MANUFACTURING PRACTICE: 2.1 Wrought Material All material shall be of pressure vessel quality and shall have @ wrought structure throughout. ‘Atully wrought structure is defined as one that is free from pipe and harmful segregation (the presence of which would indicate insufficient iscard from the starting ingot). 2. is free from burst, flakes, cracks, seams, laps, or other injurious defects detrimental to the end use of the part, 3. is free from any open discontinuities (porosity, shrinkage, pipe, etc.) when macroetched or viewed under a light microscope at 250 4. has a homogenous microstructure in any given area, Note: Some banding may be present in heavy sections. This is normal and will not be cause for rejection unless it can be shown to be detrimental to the end use of the part. 5. shows no evidence of macrosegregation (ingotism) that may be detrimental to the end use of the part. 6. in the case of carbon, low alloy, and martensitic stainless steels - has isotropic ductility properties within any given area. Note that this does not require that ductlity properties be Uniform throughout the entire cross section. These materials must be capable of meeting the following test unless otherwise agreed upon with Cameron Metallurgy. Original Date: 16 May 86 PROPERTY OF @camERON ==" ees Trane W.
