two to 3.6.2.

[Link] For specimens machined-from-casting, one casting shall be randomly selected from each lot and tested after
homogenization, solution, and precipitation heat treatment to 3.5.2 at each location shown on the engineering
drawing for conformance to 3.6.1 and 3.6.2.

[Link].1 When size and location of specimens are not shown, four specimens shall be tested, two from the thickest
section and two from the thinnest section. Once established under [Link], test locations may be changed only
as agreed upon by purchaser and producer.

[Link] When acceptable to purchaser, specimens machined-from-casting may be used in lieu of both separately-cast
and integrally-cast specimens, and integrally-cast specimens may be used in lieu of separately-cast specimens.
In each case, the resultant properties must conform to the requirements of 3.6 for that type of specimen.

[Link].1 When specimens are selected for test as in [Link] from an origin other than that specified by purchaser,
producer shall include, in the report of 4.5, a description of the source of the specimen that was tested.

[Link] When casting size, section thickness, gating method, or other factors do not permit conformance to [Link] or
[Link], sampling and testing shall be agreed upon by purchaser and producer.

Does not require prior written approval from purchaser, but allows producer to make a decision and purchaser the right to
disapprove the decision.

8.2.2 "Purchaser"

The cognizant engineering organization responsible for casting design and fitness for use, or the designee of this
engineering organization.

8.2.3 "Specified"

Requires documented instruction from purchaser through casting drawing, purchase order, specification, or other
engineering documentation.

8.2.4 "Melt"

All castings poured from a single furnace charge. Also referred to as remelt, submelt, heat, or subheat.

8.2.5 "Master Heat"

Refined metal (see 8.2.11) of a single furnace charge melted and cast under vacuum that may be poured directly into
castings and/or converted into ingot for remelting in accordance with 3.2. One or more melts can be poured from a master
heat. Qualification of a master heat is described in 3.4.2.

8.2.6 "Authorized by Purchaser"

Requires prior written approval from purchaser.

8.2.7 “Replenishment”

Virgin element and/or master alloy additions introduced to the furnace during the final stage of melting, as necessary to
bring the melt or master heat into conformance with the specified composition.

8.2.8 "Integrally-Cast Specimen"

An attached specimen that is cast in the mold, and remains with the casting lot through the completion of all heat treatment
operation(s) required of producer. The casting drawing may identify a specific location for attachment of each integrally-cast
specimen.

8.2.9 "Agreed upon by Purchaser and Producer"

Requires concurrence of both purchaser and producer. Such concurrence is typically documented by the casting drawing,
purchase order, or other engineering documentation.

8.2.10 "Lot"

For room temperature tensile and stress-rupture testing, a lot shall consist of all castings of the same part number, poured
from a single master heat and processed through homogenization and solution heat treat operations in the same furnace
loads, as represented by tests performed on integrally-cast specimens, or casting as specified (See 8.6) when precipitation
heat treated to 3.5.2. For hardness testing in the delivery condition, a lot shall consist of all castings of the same part
number, poured from a single master heat and processed through homogenization and solution heat treat operations in the
same furnace loads. For visual and nondestructive testing, a lot shall consist of castings of the same part number,
manufactured under the same process control parameters of [Link] and submitted for those tests in a single group.

8.2.11 "Refined Metal"

Metal derived from raw materials in the form of virgin elements, master alloy and/or revert melted in any combination,
replenished as needed, fluxed for non-metallics, and degassed as necessary. Melting of revert creates a new master heat.

8.3 ASTM E8M may be used for establishing dimensions in SI units, except that the gage length shall be equal to four
times the nominal diameter of the reduced section of the tensile specimen.

8.4 Hardness conversion tables for metals are presented in ASTM E140.

8.5 Dimensions and properties in inch/pound units and the Fahrenheit temperatures are primary; dimensions and
properties in SI units and the Celsius temperatures are shown as the approximate equivalents of the primary units
and are presented only for information.

8.6 Unless otherwise specified, the material producer shall work to the revision of this specification (AMS5383) in effect
on the date of order placement. Unless otherwise specified, material manufactured and certified to the immediately
previous revision of this specification (AMS5383) may be procured and used until inventory is depleted.

8.7 Purchase documents should specify not less than the following:

AMS5383F
Part number or pattern number of castings desired
Quantity of castings desired
Size and location of specimens for tensile and stress-rupture testing when properties of integrally-cast specimens or
specimens machined-from-casting are specified (see [Link] and 3.6)
Inspection methods and acceptance standards (see 3.7.2)
Serialization, if required (see 4.5.2 and 5.1.2)
Special packaging, if required
