EN 4700-001:2010 (E) 7 6 Technical requirements 6.1 General The product shall be manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the relevant material standard and the applicable requirements of this specification. A manufacturing schedule shall be established and applied in accordance with EN 2078. Product shall satisfy the requirements of the material standard and/or order and shall be free from irregularities prejudicial to the subsequent manufacture or use of this product. Notwithstanding previous acceptance complying with this material standard, any product that is found, at a later stage, to contain such defects shall be rejected. Unless otherwise specified, the requirements in Tables 1 and 2 shall apply in conjunction with those of the relevant material standard. Table 1 relates to lines 1 to 29 (inclusive) of the material standard and Table 2 relates to lines 30 onwards in which the sub-line format is also used. Lines 2 to 98 may also be opened in line 100 if the material standard details specific qualification requirements. If a specific line number is not shown in Tables 1 and 2, the requirement is stated in the material standard and/or order. 6.2 Qualification requirements Qualification requirements when invoked by the material standard and/or order are detailed in Tables 1 and 2. Unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser the qualification phase shall be run on the first 3 batches, coming from at least 2 casts. 6.3 Release requirements 6.3.1 Release tests Release testing shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer. The purchaser reserves the right to perform any of the inspections and/or tests required by the material standard and/or order. The test samples shall be representative of the product. When required by the order, the manufacturer shall inform the purchaser of the planned dates for extraction of samples and release testing in order that these operations may be witnessed. Tables 1 and 2 detail the requirements for each line of the material standard. Unless otherwise specifically requested by the purchaser, a particular inspection and/or test for release shall be carried out if corresponding acceptance criteria and/or values are stated in the applicable material standard, but see also in 6.3.5. 6.3.2 Retests If any requirement is not met, retests shall be carried out under the following conditions unless otherwise stated in the material standard or order. If the test procedure or test piece preparation is faulty, testing shall be re-applied at the original frequency after rectification of the original cause of failure, on a test sample located near the first one. For plates, sheet or strip with hardness results below the minimum or above the maximum value, the softest or hardest plate, sheet or strip, as appropriate, shall be submitted to a tensile test and, if required, an impact test. If the results comply with the specified tensile and impact requirements, all plates, sheet and strip shall be accepted. SIST EN 4700-001:2011



EN 4700-001:2010 (E) 8 When failure cannot be attributed to faulty testing, or test piece preparation, further test samples shall be selected at twice the original frequency from the product, one of which shall be that on which the original results were obtained unless already withdrawn by the manufacturer after suitable identification of the cause of failure. If all retest results are satisfactory, the batch shall be accepted. If one or more tests are unsatisfactory, the batch shall be:  rejected, or  100 % retested and the conforming products accepted, or  partially or fully re-heat treated if heat treatment can rectify the cause of the failure and tested as a completely new batch except for chemical composition and cleanness inspection. The reheat treatment shall be stated on the release test certificate. For cleanness inspection, if the material fails the requirement the product may be cut back before retesting. 6.3.3 Rejection Any failure to meet the requirements of the material standard shall be cause for rejection. 6.3.4 Special tests Special tests may be required by the purchaser. In such cases, the nature of the test, method, frequency and technical requirements shall be specified on the order or inspection schedule and shall be mutually agreed by the manufacturer and purchaser. 6.3.5 Capability clause Where the capability clause is invoked and where sufficient statistical evidence exists, the test need not be carried out (unless specifically requested by the purchaser). However, this in no way reduces the obligations of the manufacturer to fulfil the requirements. If subsequent testing indicates that the product does not comply with the requirements, the batch shall be rejected. If sufficient statistical evidence does not exist, the test shall be carried out at a frequency agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser. 6.3.6 Statistical process control Reduction in the extent of release testing, other than that defined in 6.3.5 above, may be negotiated with the purchaser on the basis of appropriate statistical process control and/or statistical data. 6.3.7 Inspection and test report The manufacturer shall furnish, with each delivery, a report conforming to the requirements of EN 2078 stating the following:  manufacturer's name and address and, if appropriate, identification of the plant;  order number;  material standard number;  method of melting;  delivery condition and metallurgical code of the product; SIST EN 4700-001:2011

The samples taken for analysis shall be representative of the melt. The method of analysis shall be at the option of the manufacturer, but in cases of dispute, the reference method set out in the relevant EN or ISO standard shall be used. If no EN or ISO standard exists, a fundamental and agreed method of chemical analysis calibrated against accepted reference standards shall be used. In the case of remelted material, samples shall be taken from positions as follows: a) Vacuum arc remelted (VAR) ingots: the bottom of each ingot or ingot product. b) Electroflux or electroslag remelted (ESR) ingots: the top and bottom ends of each ingot or ingot product. An analysis shall be made of each sample and certificates of analysis shall be supplied to the purchaser. The elements to be determined shall be as required by the material specification or as agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Elements not quoted in the material standard shall not be intentionally added to the alloy without the agreement of the purchaser, except for the purpose of finishing the heat (e.g. addition of deoxidant); reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent their inclusion during manufacture. The purchaser, in agreement with the manufacturer, may set a limit to the amount of one or more such elements and may require the amount of such elements to be stated in the certificate of analysis. The specified ranges of chemical composition are based on cast analyses. Any subsequent analytical checks shall take into consideration the heterogeneity normal to the alloy. Additionally for remelted products, the samples shall be representative for the remelted ingot, taking into account any macro segregation. a) 1 per cast in the case of air melted or vacuum induction melted product b) 2 per VAR or ESR ingot representing top and bottom positions a) 1 per cast in the case of air melted or vacuum induction melted product b) 1 per VAR ingot

If the material standard permits alternative processes, the manufacturer shall decide which of them shall be used unless the purchaser states a particular preference on his order. In all instances, the process by which the alloy was made shall be indicated on the release note. 2 Consumable electrode remelted material 2.1 Except as provided in 2.3 or 2.4 at no time during remelting shall material of any other composition or type be introduced into the melting chamber, i.e. starter material and electrode stub-ends shall be of the same composition as the material being remelted. 2.2 Whenever possible and except as provided in 2.3, weld material used to join electrodes together and to join the electrode to the stub-end shall be of the same composition as the material being remelted. If such weld material is not obtainable, material of a similar composition to, or compatible with, the material being remelted may be used at the discretion of the manufacturer, unless the purchaser indicates that his prior agreement is required. 2.3 Alternatively to 2.1 and 2.2, for electro-flux and vacuum arc remelting, the stub and any weld material may be different from that being remelted, provided that the remelted material is not contaminated with material from the stub-ends or weld and that, for vacuum arc remelting, the stub welding takes place outside the furnace. Remelting shall be terminated not less than 20 mm from the electrode/stub interface and, after completion of the remelting cycle, the electrode/stub interface shall be examined to verify that the stub and weld are intact. 2.4 For electro flux melting and vacuum arc remelting, material compatible with the composition of that being remelted shall be permitted to provide electrical contact to the furnace base plate, provided that the chemical composition of the melt is maintained. − − 4.1 Form Plate, sheet and strip − − continued SIST EN 4700-001:2011
