4.3 Test method of mechanical properties
The test method for mechanical properties of ingots shall be carried out in accordance
with the provisions of GB/T 228.1 or GB/T 231.1.
5 Inspection rules
5.1 Inspection and acceptance
5.1.1 The ingots shall be inspected by the technical supervision department of the
supplier to ensure that the product quality complies with the provisions of this Standard
(or order contract), and a quality certificate shall be filled out.
5.1.2 The buyer shall inspect the received products in accordance with the provisions
of this Standard (or order contract). If the inspection result does not comply with the
provisions of this Standard (or order contract), it shall submit a written proposal to the
supplier, and the supplier and the buyer shall negotiate and resolve. Objections to the
appearance quality shall be raised within ten days from the date of receipt of the product;
objections to the chemical composition and other properties shall be raised to the
supplier within 3 months from the date of receipt of the product; both the supplier and
the buyer shall negotiate and resolve. If arbitration is required, the arbitration sampling
shall be carried out jointly by both the supply and the buyer on the buyer side.
5.2 Batching
The ingots shall be submitted for acceptance in batches. Each batch shall consist of
alloy ingots of the same designation and the same melting furnace.
5.3 Inspection items
Each batch of ingots shall be inspected for chemical composition, appearance quality,
and inspection items (microstructure, mechanical properties, salt spray corrosion
performance) required by the contract. If necessary, it is provided to the buyer for
dreference, with a retrospective period of 1 year.
5.4 Sampling and sample preparation
5.4.1 Sampling and sample preparation of test pieces for chemical composition
analysis
5.4.1.1 The supplier shall select test pieces representing its composition at the casting
stage. When there is any objection to the chemical composition, the sample shall be
taken and prepared from the ingot according to the provisions of 5.4.1.2 ~ 5.4.1.7 under
the condition that both the supplier and the buyer are present.
5.4.1.2 Take any one piece of ingot from each ton of product in this batch. If it is less
than 1 t, it shall be calculated as 1 t, and another piece of ingot shall be taken. If the
weight of a batch or a single ingot is too large, the quantity of ingots to be taken shall
be appropriately reduced by negotiation between the supplier and the buyer.
5.4.1.3 Samples are taken from the selected ingots using the drilling method. Before
drilling samples, remove the surface oxide layer with a depth of 0.5 mm ~ 1.5 mm. Use
a drill bit with a diameter of 15 mm ~ 20 mm to drill at least 5 holes equidistantly along
the diagonal on the surface of the ingot, and drill through the entire thickness of the
ingot. When drilling samples, any foreign matter shall be avoided. In the process of
drilling samples, absolute ethanol can be used as cooling lubricant, but no other oils
shall be added.
5.4.1.4 Mix the drilled magnesium chips evenly and conduct magnetic separation, to
discard all iron chips brought in during sample preparation.
5.4.1.5 Carefully inspect the obtained magnesium chips to ensure that any impurities
accidentally brought in during sample preparation are removed.
5.4.1.6 The mass of the obtained magnesium chips shall be greater than 4 times the
amount required for the analysis, and the mass shall not be less than 100 g.
5.4.1.7 Divide the fully mixed magnesium chips into three equal parts, package and seal
them, respectively. One for the supplier, one for the buyer, and one for arbitration.
5.4.2 Sampling for appearance quality inspection
The ingots shall be inspected for the appearance quality one by one.
5.4.3 Sampling of microstructure, mechanical properties and salt spray corrosion
performance
The sampling of microstructure, mechanical properties and salt spray corrosion
performance of ingots shall be determined through negotiation between the supplier
and the buyer.
5.5 Determination of inspection results
5.5.1 When the arbitration analysis results of the chemical composition do not comply
with the provisions of this Standard, the batch shall be determined to be unqualified.
5.5.2 When the appearance quality does not comply with the provisions of this Standard,
the batch is determined to be unqualified. But it is allowed to inspect one by one by the
supplier, and the qualified ones will be delivered.
5.5.3 When the microstructure, mechanical properties and salt spray corrosion
performance are unqualified, take double the quantity of test pieces to repeat the
inspection. When the repeated inspection results are all qualified, the batch of products
is determined to be qualified; if there are still unqualified products, the batch of products
is determined to be unqualified.
