The largest obtainable tension test specimen as specified in ‘Test Methods and Definitions A 370 shall be used 8.1.1 For annealed, normalized, and tempered ferric steels not tested per 8.1.1.3 and austenitic steels, the longitudinal axis ‘of the specimens shall be parallel to the direction of major working of the forging, except when Supplementary Require: ment S2 is specified. For upset disk forgings, the longitudinal axis of the test specimen shall be in the tangential direction, 8.1.1.1 The longitudinal axis of the specimen shall be located midway between the parallel surfaces of the test ‘extension if edded to the periphery of disks or midway between the center and surface of solid forgings. For hollow forgings, the longitudinal axis of the specimens shall be located midway between the center and outer surfaces of the wall. When separately forged test blocks are employed, as defined in 8.1.3, the tension test specimens shall be taken from a location which represents the midwall of the heaviest section of the production forgings. When specimens are required from opposite ends, they shall be taken from the diagonal corners of an axial plane, ‘Alternatively, and when specified, the specimens shall be taken in accordance with Supplementary Requirement $3 8.1.1.2 For liquid quenched and tempered ferritic steel forgings, the test specimens shall have their longitudinal axis at Teast 4 T of the maximum heat-treated thickness from any surface and with the mid-length of the specimens at Jeast one T from any second surface. This is normally referred to as Ya T X T, where T's the maximum heat-treated thickness. A thermal buffer may be used to adhere to the above condition, 8.1.1.3 For normalized and tempered and liquid quenched fand tempered ferrtic steel forgings. With prior purchaser approval. test specimens may be taken at a depth (®) corre- sponding to the distance from the area of significant stress to the nearest heat-treated surface and at least wice this distance@b A 336/8 336M TABLE 1 Chemical Requirements Compecton, emt Steels Grace Eorent Fi Fi, Gasses2 FIT, Glass 1 a ro 7 re and Gator oma o1eam o0eotS 010-02 djemar O2Smax oO lemax OD max Mangansce 060-08 © 020-0g0 © 030-06) «30-080 —«as0-08 © ag max 00-080 «toma Prosphons, max 0028 ‘025 025 025, cas ‘0.005 ‘oes 0.028 Soto mar Bas ous 9.005, 1s, 0.088 0.005, 2s 0.005.

Afier reforging, the entire forging shall be reheat-treated in the ‘same manner and at the same temperature range as employed when the forging was heat-treated before certification testing. 8.1.3 When mutually agreed upon between the manufac- turer and the purchaser, test specimens may be machined fro a specially forged block suitably worked and heat treated with the production forgings. Such a special biock shall be obtained from an ingot, slab, or billet from the same heat used to make the forgings it represents. This block shall receive essentially the same type of hot-working and forging reduction as the production forgings; however, a longitudinally forged bar with dimensions not less than T by T by 3 T may be used to represent a ring forging. The dimension shall be representa tive of the heaviest effective cross section of the forging. For quenched and tempered forgings for which tests are required at both ends by 8.2.2.3 and 8.2.2.4, separately forged test blocks are not allowed.
