Standard Terminology Relating to Non-ferrous Metals and Alloys

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 The terms defined in this document are generic in respect to the standards under the jurisdiction of Committee B02 on Nonferrous Metals and Alloys. The same terms may have different definitions in other ASTM technical committees.  
3.2 Some definitions may differ within the committee because of limitations on items such as weights or dimensions. In such cases the terms will be more precisely defined in the Terminology section of the standards in which these terms are used.
SCOPE
1.1 To promote precise understanding and interpretation of standards, reports, and other technical writings promulgated by Committee B02.  
1.2 To standardize the terminology used in these documents.  
1.3 To explain the meanings of technical terms used within these documents for those not conversant with them.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
