ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

By providing a quote, offerors certify they can meet the following:

Technical Requirements

1. Demonstrated Performance on Similar Products: The offeror must provide a minimum of two examples of work on machined parts with similar tolerances for the specified alloy, including heat treatment and magnetic characterization. The offeror must supply sample magnetization (B-H) curves for the magnetic performance that was obtained.

1. Heat Treatment: All parts shall be heat treated in a dry hydrogen atmosphere following recommended annealing parameters for the specific trademarked material.

Continued on Page 2

1. Magnetic Validation: Include 1 ring sample per heat treat batch (machined from the same material lot) and perform magnetic validation (B-H Curve testing).

2. Ring samples must meet ASTM A801 magnetic properties for a heat treatment lot to be accepted.

1. Serialization: Serial number format shall be AL-1220-7585-XXXX, where XXXX starts at 0001 and increments.

1. Powder Coating Waived: Do not powder coat as specified in note 350 of the drawing.

1. Notice to Proceed: Final machining of the production units shall not begin until LBNL has approved and provided a notice to proceed after receipt of the First Article unit Quality Assurance (QA) Package. Allow 3 business days after receipt of the QA package for LBNL to respond.
