1、Designation:B59413Standard Practice forUltrasonic Inspection of Aluminum-Alloy Wrought Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B594;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This practice covers the requirements for pulse-echoultra
3、sonic inspection and includes criteria used to defineapplicable quality levels of aluminum-alloy wrought productswhen performance of the ultrasonic test by the producer isspecified,or when ultrasonic inspection is performed by thepurchaser upon receipt.1.2 This practice is not applicable if plastic
4、deformation isintroduced into the material after delivery.1.3 The ultrasonic test described in this practice is employedto detect internal discontinuities oriented in a direction parallelto,or nearly parallel to,the surface of the product.The test isperformed either by the immersion method or the co
5、ntactmethod using pulsed longitudinal waves which are transmittedand received by a search unit containing either a single crystalor a combination of electrically interconnected multiple crys-tals.Ultrasonic tests employing either the through-transmissionor the angle-beam techniques are not included.
6、NOTE1Ultrasonic tests employing angle-beam techniques requirespecial reference blocks,search units,and scanning procedures and aresubject to negotiation between the purchaser and the seller when such testsare required by the contract or purchase order.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to
