Ultrasonic testing is not used as a basis for judgment.

3.6 Surface Condition The surface roughness Ra of the ingot should not exceed 12.7μm.

3.7 Appearance Quality Ingots should be delivered with machined surfaces, and the surfaces of machined ingots should be smooth and flat. The side surface of the ingot should be free from defects such as cold shuts, interlayers, looseness, and machining steps. A small number of gas pores are allowed to exist, but the depth and diameter of the gas pores should not exceed 5mm. It is permissible to remove local contamination, çatlaklar, gas pores, and other defects by planing, milling, or grinding methods. After cleaning, the ingot should meet the minimum size requirements, and the cleaned area should have a smooth transition, without steps and sharp corners. The depth-to-width ratio of the cleaned area should not exceed 1:10, and the cleaning depth should not exceed 10mm.

3.7.2 The end faces of the ingot head and tail should be flat, free from machining steps, flame cutting, splashes, or weld beads, and no open shrinkage cavities are allowed.

3.8 Ingate Treatment When requested by the purchaser and specified in the contract, the ingate should be removed.

4 Test Methods

4.1 Chemical composition analysis shall be conducted according to GB/T 4698. 4.2 Dimensional measurements and allowable deviations shall be measured using appropriate precision instruments. 4.3 The β transition temperature shall be determined according to GB/T 23605. 4.4 Ultrasonic testing shall be conducted according to methods agreed upon by the supplier and the purchaser. 4.5 Surface condition shall be assessed using a comparative test piece. 4.6 Appearance quality shall be inspected visually, and if necessary, measured with appropriate precision instruments.

5.4.2 Sampling Procedure

For pure titanium ingots and titanium alloy round ingots with a diameter not exceeding 350 mm, samples shall be taken from one point on the side head of each ingot for chemical composition analysis. For titanium alloy round ingots with a diameter greater than 350 mm and alloy flat ingots, samples shall be taken from two points on the side head and tail of each ingot for chemical composition analysis.

The sampling positions should be within a range of 200 mm to 300 mm from both ends. At each sampling location, the casting surface should be removed by 5 mm to 7 mm first, and then samples should be taken using turning or drilling methods.

5.5 Inspection Result Determination

• 5.5.1 If the chemical composition inspection fails, double sampling may be taken from the original sampling location for retesting of the failed item. If the results of the samples are still unacceptable, the ingot shall be deemed non-conforming.
• 5.5.2 If the dimensional measurements and allowable deviations inspection fails, the ingot shall be deemed non-conforming.
• 5.5.3 If the surface condition inspection fails, the ingot shall be deemed non-conforming.
• 5.5.4 If the appearance quality inspection fails, the ingot shall be deemed non-conforming.

6. Marking, Ambalajlama, Transportation, and Storage

6.1 Marking

Each ingot and its outer packaging shall be clearly and securely marked with the supplier’s name, identification, grade, specification, and furnace number on the head and side (near the head end) of the ingot.

  • d) Other packaging methods specified in the contract.
• 6.2.2 During transportation and storage of the ingots, rolling, severe collision, and corrosion by active chemicals should be prevented.

• b) Product name;
• c) Product grade, specification, and weight (net weight and gross weight);
• d) Production method and melt number;
• e) Furnace number;
• f) Results of analysis and inspection, along with the mark of the inspection department;
• g) Standard number;
• h) Packaging date.
