A strong demand from the aerospace sector has made it challenging for industry to supply heat-treated plate for both aerospace and other applications. To increase heat-treated plate production capacity, ASTM International Committee B07 on Light Metals and Alloys has developed a new standard, B 947 , Practice for Hot Rolling Mill Solution Heat Treatment for Aluminum Alloy Plate. The new standard…

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is used often to determine a wide range of elements in alloys. The technique provides rapid, accurate, and precise multi-element analysis that enables efficient melt process control. It is also widely used for certification and over-check analysis of product. Although x-ray fluorescence has become a widely used technique of analysis by the nickel alloy industry,…

In the past, the only measurement used to determine whether sealants could endure a great deal of foot traffic was hardness. Because research presented at symposia and from the field has shown that other factors need to be considered in the design and use of traffic sealants, ASTM International Committee C24 on Building Seals and Sealants has a new proposed standard that encompasses a wider range…
