3.10.1 In order to qualify for "Alternate Mechanical Testing" found in MIL-DTL-1222J paragraph

4.5.2.7 and utilize the mechanical properties for the starting bar stock in lieu of performing yield strength or proof stress testing on finished fasteners, all of the subsequent provisions found in MIL- DTL-1222J paragraphs 4.5.2.7 a through e must be met. If any single provision is not met, all required mechanical testing must be performed on the finished full sized fasteners. These provisions are explained as follows:

a. Proper product lot control and traceability must be in place.

b. No heat treatment (including hot heading and hot forming), cold forming, drawing, rolling and thread rolling may be performed on the starting bar, fastener blanks or finished fasteners after the completion of the mechanical testing on the starting bar.

c. and d. The proper size starting bar must be selected to ensure mechanical properties of finished fasteners are represented by the mechanical properties of the starting bar.

NIIN: LPTDP0005 VERSION: 002 PAGE 5

e. The mandatory testing, axial tensile (studs) and wedge tensile (screws and bolts) must be performed on full sized fasteners. Note that there is a typographical error in paragraph 4.5.2.7 and that the axial load test is a mandatory test that must be performed on studs as required in paragraph 4.5.2.7.e.

3.10.2 Thread rolling is a cold working process and is not considered to be a machining or grinding operation. Therefore, fasteners which have rolled threads do not satisfy the provisions of MIL-DTL- 1222J paragraph 4.5.2.7.b and are not eligible for the "Alternate Mechanical Testing" provision.

3.10.3 Thread rolling alone is not a sufficient cold working process to qualify a fastener to be in the cold worked (CW) condition. This condition is only applicable to some 300 series stainless steel studs, screws and nuts. These CW condition fasteners must be manufactured from cold worked bar stock or be cold headed in order to qualify. The threads may subsequently be rolled, machined or ground.

Testing of the finished fasteners and/or reporting of the starting bar stock material properties is subject to the same provisions found in MIL-DTL-1222J paragraph 4.5.2.7 and discussed above.

NIIN: LPTDP0005 VERSION: 002 PAGE 7

certification report must completely and accurately reflect that the material supplied meets the specified requirements.

3.16.1 The following provides the minimum requirements for maintaining material traceability and supplements the requirements specified in DI-MISC-81020 and elsewhere in the contract/purchase order.

The Contractor shall develop written procedures that implement the material control requirements stated herein.

3.17 Material Traceability - The certification data report shall be identified through a unique traceability number, heat-lot number, or heat-treat number, as applicable, which shall also be marked on the material. This traceability marking on the material shall provide direct traceability to the material's chemical composition and mechanical properties certification data. For material produced by batch, continuous cast, or continuous pour processes, samples shall be taken no less than once in every eight hours of operation for the purpose of validating proper chemical composition and mechanical properties. Traceability shall be maintained through all process operations including any subcontracted operations, to the finished component.

3.18 See CDRL DI-MISC-81020 (Chemical and Mechanical) - Material Certification - In addition to the certification data requirements specified in DI-MISC-81020, the following material certification requirements apply:

3.18.1 Quantitative chemical and mechanical analysis of material traceable to traceability markings is required in accordance with MIL-DTL-1222 .Test reports shall be traceable to traceability marking on the material. Material certification test reports shall include the class, form, condition, grade, type, finish, and/or composition, as applicable, of the material supplied.

3.18.2 Re-identification and re-certification of material is required when the material is subjected to a process which alters it's properties. If the starting material or raw stock is processed in a manner that will not affect its chemical composition or mechanical properties, the original certifications for the chemical composition and mechanical properties, as required by the material specification, are acceptable. Re-certification of the chemical or mechanical properties is required if a process is used during fabrication that alters the original properties of the material (e.g.

alloying, heat treating, or forming). In these instances, the properties of the material must be re-determined and documented to reflect the altered condition. The altered material shall be uniquely re-identified. The properties thus determined and documented, are required for final certification and shall conform to the material specification or the contract/purchase order requirements. When only the mechanical properties are altered, the original certification for chemical composition shall be overstamped and/or annotated with the unique traceability marking used with the altered material and at a minimum contain the information below.

TRACEABILITY MARKING ________________________________________________

(marking on finished item)

3.18.3 Material certification data forwarded by the manufacturer shall contain a signed certification that the report results represent the actual attributes of the material furnished and indicate full compliance with all applicable specification and contract requirements. Transcription of certification data is prohibited.

3.18.4 Statements on material certification documents must be positive and unqualified. Disclaimers such as "to the best of our knowledge" or "we believe the information contained herein is true" are not acceptable.

3.18.5 If material is received without the required certification papers or with incorrect/missing data on the certification papers, the material will be rejected.

3.19 Material Marking for Traceability and Identification - The following are the minimum marking requirements. Additional/alternate marking requirements, if applicable, will be specified elsewhere in the contract/purchase order. In addition to the marking requirements on applicable drawings and/or specifications, marking for traceability is required. All traceability marking shall be permanently applied in accordance with MIL-STD-792 (except as specified below). An alternate marking method is permissible provided it is an available option in the contractually invoked specification or drawing, except in instances where the material has been modified by this contract/purchase order and differs from that specified in the specification or drawing.

3.19.1 Fasteners shall be marked in accordance with MIL-DTL-1222 . The method of marking shall be

NIIN: LPTDP0005 VERSION: 002 PAGE 8

types I, II, III, V, VIII or IX of MIL-STD-792 except for grades 410, 416 and 431 in the H condition and grades 8, 630, A574, and 4340 which shall be marked by method II when marking is applied after the final heat treatment. Markings on fasteners that are to be coated shall be marked prior to coating and have a minimum depth of 4 mils. Traceability marking must be legible after the application of protective compounds.

3.19.2 Marking is required for all fasteners regardless of size and shall include the material symbol, the manufacturer's identification symbol, and the traceability marking. Marking shall be applied on the head of headed fastener (top preferred, side location if necessary). Where no contract invoked specification requirement exists for this marking, self-locking fasteners shall be marked with six dots approximately .032" diameter, raised or depressed by approximately .010" located on the top perimeter of the head of the fastener in an arc or circular pattern. The six dots must be distinguishable from all other required markings.

3.20 Material Handling - The written material control process shall include the following:

3.20.1 All raw materials shall have traceability markings (except as specified below).

3.20.2 Stored raw materials requiring traceability shall be segregated to preclude intermingling with materials not requiring traceability.

3.20.3 When traceability markings will be removed by a manufacturing or fabrication process, the marking shall be recorded prior to removal and be immediately restored upon completion of the process.

If this cannot be done or is impractical, an appropriate material control procedure (such as a bag and tag, tagging, and/or tote box control) must be employed. The material control procedure must provide a method of positive control to preclude commingling of heats or loss of traceability. The traceability marking shall be reapplied upon completion of the final manufacturing process.

3.20.4 Purchase orders for raw material shall specify that the material be traceable to material certification test reports by the traceability marking on the material and identified on the test reports. The certification data requirements contained in DI-MISC-81020 shall be invoked by the prime contractor on all subcontractors supplying Level I material.

3.20.5 The material control process shall include requirements for the maintenance of traceability for items sent out for subcontracted operations. If such operations would remove traceability markings, purchase or work orders shall specify a method and marking location for remarking. The contractor shall also ensure that subcontractor production controls are adequate to preclude commingling of materials during processing.

3.21 Receiving inspection -

3.21.1 Products and services produced by sub-tier suppliers for incorporation in the contract end item shall be subject to inspection or audit at the time of receipt by the prime prior to further processing within the prime contractor's plant or shipment to another location.

3.21.2 Receiving Inspection shall include as a minimum -

Verification that the traceability marking on the material agrees with that on the certification test reports.

Verification that certification test reports are legible and complete.

Verification that the contents of the certification test reports are in compliance with the contractually invoked specifications and requirements.

3.22 Discrepancy reporting -

3.22.1 Nonconforming products from sub-tier suppliers shall be identified and processed in accordance with the prime contractor's procedures for controlling nonconforming products. The prime contractor shall report the receipt of any nonconforming products to the responsible sub-tier supplier in accordance with established procedures. Nonconforming material records will be maintained and available for review by the government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR).

3.23 Final Inspection - The following inspections shall be performed prior to Government inspection and acceptance.

3.23.1 Material Sampling - Material shall be inspected for form, fit, and function. Lot acceptance shall be based on zero defects and lot rejection based on one defect. The sample size shall be in accordance with the sampling plan(s) in the applicable military specification or standard, federal specification or standard, or drawing to which the material was manufactured.

3.25 1 - Vendor Acknowledgement of K-Monel Heat Review

1. Recent investigations into mechanical property failures of fasteners manufactured from NiCuAl (KMonel) material that was produced by Special Metals Corporation (formerly INCO Alloys) of Huntington, West Virginia has found eighty (80) heats of material which may not meet the mechanical property requirements of QQ-N-286 throughout the heat. In 1994, Special Metals Corporation implemented a process change that eliminated the addition of extra aluminum at the toe of each NiCuAl (K-Monel) ingot resulting in the toe portion of the heat being non-homogeneous in comparison to the rest of the heat. Due to cropping practices at Special Metals Corporation, material from the toe of the ingot with non-homogeneous aluminum content was not cropped from production material prior to shipment. A recent study has shown that the aluminum concentration in the toe portion of the ingot could be as low as approximately 2.0% with corresponding yield strength as low as approximately 40,000 PSI. QQ-N-286 specifies an aluminum content of 2.3% minimum and a yield strength of 90,000 PSI minimum or 85,000 PSI minimum for material = l". As a result of the investigation, the eighty (80) heats listed in Table I are considered suspect of having problems with insufficient aluminum content and an inability to consistently attain the requited minimum yield strength.

2. You are requested to review your records of in stock in process K-Monel material from the Special Metals Corporation for the sect heat numbers listed in Table I below. You are prohibited from providing raw stock or finished products made from the suspect K-monel heats. If suspect heats are intended to be used, contact the PHNS & IMF contracting officer for adjudication the material.
