CHAPTER 1
1.1 PREPARATION OF THE 00-25-113 SERIES
TECHNICAL ORDERS.
Individual technical orders or supplements for assigned aircraft, missiles, rockets, and engines identifying scrap parts and materiel which contain critical alloys or precious metals shown in Table 1-1 excluding Groups 1 and 2 will be prepared by the applicable Product Directorate.
1.1.1 The title page will include the following statements:
1.1.1.1 Critical Alloys and Precious Metals Parts List, followed by the designation of the appropriate aircraft, missile, rocket, engine, or weapon system component.
1.1.1.1.1 This publication is incomplete without the basic
T.O. 00-25-113.
1.1.1.2 Parts containing materiel specification and pre-
cious metals shown in Table 1-1 (other than Groups 1 and
2) will be listed as follows:
1.1.1.2.1 Manufacturer’s part number and when it is
available at the time the data is being compiled, include the National Stock Number (NSN).
1.1.1.2.2 Noun/Nomenclature - do not exceed the stan-
dard 19 positions.
1.1.1.2.3 Group number. The group number for each
part/component will be determined by the materiel specifi-cations or principal alloy elements shown in Table 1-1.
Inseparable parts joined by welding or other means which include materiel specifications in two or more different numbered groups will indicate each materiel group number contained in the part or assembly.
1.2 GUIDELINES FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF
METALS.
The following information is provided for use by operating personnel to identify and segregate high-temperature alloys and stainless steel.
1.2.1 Visual Inspection. First, check each item or spec-
imen for identification markings-such as manufacturers’ part numbers or specification numbers (e.g., AISI-310).
When such data are visible, they should be checked against part numbers, materiel alloys, or group numbers. If identifi-cation of the materiel alloy content can be determined by the physical item markings, no further testing is necessary.
However, a sample of each known specimen should be marked according to its materiel alloy grouping or specifi-cation, and be mounted on a display board for comparison with unknown specimens.
1.2.1.1 When the specimen cannot be identified by part
number or specification markings, examine its physical appearance and determine its possible common use. For example, a jet engine bucket blade normally contains high-temperature alloys, and should be tested for its princi-pal alloy elements (i.e., nickel, cobalt, titanium, etc).
1.2.1.2 Check the color of the metal. Is the color silvery, like polished aluminum or magnesium; yellow, like brass or gold; gray, like zinc or lead? Its color may guide you as to the alloys or elements to test for.
1.2.1.3 If possible, check the density (weight) of the
specimen by holding it in your hand. Compare the feel of the weight with the weight of a known specimen or the weight of an equal volume of water. Some metals can be identified by density alone, without further testing. The density or specific gravity of some metals is as follows:
1.2.1.3.1 Very Heavy Metals. (Specific gravity is 12 to
22 times heavier than an equal volume of water). Examples include gold, mercury, platinum, tantalum, tungsten, and uranium.
1.2.1.3.2 Heavy Metals. (Specific gravity is 9.8 to
11.3 times heavier than an equal volume of water). Exam-ples are bismuth, lead, molybdenum, and silver.
1.2.1.3.3 Average Density Metals. (Specific gravity is
6 to 9 times heavier than an equal volume of water). This type includes all irons and steel, cobalt alloys, nickel alloys, stainless steel and pure metals such as antimony, cadmium, maganese, tin, and zinc.
1.2.1.3.4 Light Density Metals. (Specific gravity is 1.5
to 3 times heavier than water). This group includes alumi-num, magnesium, and titanium.
1.2.1.4 Magnetic Testing. Magnetic testing consists of
determining whether the specimen is attracted by a magnet.
The magnet must be free swinging from a chain, ring, or string. Usually, a metal attracted by a magnet is iron, steel or iron base alloys containing nickel, cobalt or chromium.
However, there are exceptions to this rule since nickel and cobalt alloys may be either magnetic or non magnetic. This test can serve only as an initial step in identifying a specimen and never as a final test.
1.2.1.4.1 Strongly magnetic metals include pure iron, pure nickel, pure cobalt, iron-nickel-cobalt alloys, AISI-400 series (Group 2), alnico.
1.2.1.4.2 Lightly magnetic alloys include AISI-300 series
(Group 1), pH grades of stainless steel and monel.
1.2.1.4.3 All other metals and alloys are non magnetic.
1-1
1.2.1.5 Spark Testing. Some metals can be readily
identified by characteristic sparks thrown off when the specimen is held against a high-speed grinding wheel. The spark streams may vary from a few tiny sparks to a shower of sparks. Skill in spark-testing takes practice. When possi-ble, compare the sparks thrown off by the unknown speci-men spark streams from known samples. Standard samples of known specifications should be maintained for compari-son purposes. When testing, hold the specimen with a firm, even pressure against the top of the revolving grinding wheel. The surface of the grinding wheel should be cleaned frequently to free the wheel of metal particles retained during prior use.
1.2.1.5.1 A high-speed bench grinder is recommended for
spark testing. It should have a 6″ to 8″ wheel, medium grit composition, 1/2 to 3/4 horse power, 110 or 220 volt, 3,400 to 4,000 RPM. Always wear goggles when spark testing.
WARNING
Abrasive grinding wheels will not be used to grind aluminum, brass, copper, or other soft metals unless the wheel is specifically designed for that purpose. Such wheels will be used to grind soft metals only.
1.2.1.5.2 Metals and alloys which will not produce a
spark on a grinder include aluminum, brass, cadmium, copper, gold, lead, zinc, and antimony.
1.2.1.5.3 Stainless steel and high-temperature alloys with
iron and nickel base compositions will produce characteris-tic sparks. As a general rule, the more iron in a specimen the lighter the spark will be. As the percent of iron decreases and the percent of nickel increases, the spark will darken. For example:
1.2.1.5.3.1 Group 1 (7-13 percent nickel, 70 percent iron)
will produce a light and diffused straw-colored spark.
1.2.1.5.3.2 Group 14 (12-20 percent nickel, 55 percent
iron) will produce a dark red spark, and then turns a light straw color.
1.2.1.5.3.3 Group 8 (70-74 percent nickel, 10 percent
iron) will produce a short, dark red spark, and will not brighten.
1.2.1.6 Chemical Spot (Acid) Test. Spot test may be
made by placing one or more drops of acid on the metal surface of a specimen to show attack or reaction to the acid.
Spot tests are based on the formation of characteristic colors produced by the reaction of the acid on the metal surface. A small surface of the specimen should be cleaned with an emery cloth, file, or grinding wheel before making a spot test.
1.2.1.6.1 Acids required for testing.
1.2.1.6.1.1 Nitric Acid (concentrated).
1.2.1.6.1.2 Hydrochloric Acid (concentrated).
1.2.1.6.1.3 Potassium Ferricyanide (10 percent solu-
tion-dissolve 10 grams of potassium ferricyanide in 100 milliliters of water).
1.2.1.6.2 In Nitric Acid testing, place one drop of concen-
trated Nitric Acid on a clean metal surface. The following reaction should result:
Metals Reaction Brass Blue-green
Cadmium Yellow
Cobalt (pure) Red
Copper Blue-green
Copper-nickel Blue-green
Magnesium Effervescent-no col-or
Monel Green
Nickel (pure) Pale Green
Silver Gray-white
Tin White
Zinc Effervescent-black (brown fumes)
1.2.1.6.3 In Nitric Acid-diluted (50 percent acid and 50
percent water) -testing, place one drop of diluted Nitric Acid on a clean metal surface. The following reaction should result:
Metals Reaction Iron Brown-black
Manganese steel Brown
Nickel Iron Alloy Brown
5 to 80 percent nickel-balance iron)
Hastelloy B Blue (navy)
1.2.1.6.4 Metals and alloys that will not react to Nitric
Acid (concentrated or diluted) include:
Aluminum Lead
Antimony Platinum
Cobalt base alloys Stainless steel
Gold Tantalum
High-temperature alloys Titanium
Tungsten
1-2
1.2.1.6.5 Aqua Regia Acid consists of one part Nitric
Acid mixed with three parts of Hydrochloric Acid. Since this mixture breaks down after 24 hours, you may make this test by placing one drop of Nitric Acid and then three drops of Hydrochloric Acid on the spot to be tested. This solution should turn blue-green for cobalt base alloys and green for nickel base alloys.
1.2.1.6.6 Potassium Ferricyanide (10-percent solution)
may be used to determine the iron content of nickel-base alloys, since there is no simple spot test for determining the percent of nickel contained. This test may be made by adding a drop or two of Potassium Ferricyanide to the spot tested by Aqua Regia. The color reaction will be very dark blue-black for a high iron content, and a light blue for low iron content. For example: Group 1 (7-13 percent nickel, 10 percent iron) will produce a brown color reaction.
1.2.2 Complex Tests. These are qualitative tests. If a
specimen cannot be identified by these tests, obtain a spectrographic or chemical analysis if the quantity involved warrants it.
