ASTM B107/B107M-94

Standard Specification for Magnesium-Alloy Extruded Bars, Rods, Profiles, Tubes, and Wire

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers magnesium-alloy extruded bars, rods, profiles, tubes, and wire of the composition given in Table 1.
1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standards. The SI units are shown in brackets or in separate tables or columns. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independent of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
1.3 Unless the order specifies the "M" specification designation, the material shall be furnished to the inch-pound units.

TABLE 1 Chemical Requirements
NOTE 1—Analysis shall regularly be made only for the elements specifically mentioned in this table. If, however, the presence of other elements is
suspected or indicated in the course of routine analysis to be in amounts greater than the specified limits, further analysis shall be made to determine that
the total of these other elements is not in excess of the limits specified in the last column of the table.
NOTE 2—The following applies to all specified limits in this table: For purposes of acceptance and rejection, an observed value or a calculated value
obtained from analysis should be rounded-off to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit.
