ASTM B348-11, titled “Standard Specification for Titanium and Titanium Alloy Bars and Billets,” has just been released. The 8 page specification covers annealed bars and grills made from titanium or its alloys. It replaces the ASTM B348-10 2010 Edition.
ASTM B348 covers annealed titanium and titanium alloy bars and billets grades 1 through 38. All material grades covered in the specification are expected to conform to the defined chemical composition requirements. Elements that are intentionally added to the melt should be identified, analyzed and reported in the chemical analysis.
Specimens for tension tests should be machined and the tensile properties determined using a specified strain rate through the yield strength and at an increasing rate. Each annealed material may be furnished as either descaled, sandblasted, ground, or rough turned.
