scope:

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the chemical analysis of nickel-copper alloys having chemical compositions within the following limits:

Element Concentration Range, % Nickel 40 to 90 Cobalt 0.01 to 1.0 Copper 10 to 50 Iron 0.1 to 5.0 Manganese 0.1 to 2.5 Carbon 0.01 to 1.0 Silicon 0.01 to 5.0 Sulfur 0.001 to 0.1 Aluminum 0.01 to 4.0

1.2 The analytical procedures appear in the following order: (This standard contains more than one test method for some elements. In some cases, the use of multiple test methods is needed to cover the concentration range of the scope of the standard; in others, multiple test methods are supplied to allow for variations in availability of instruments and other facilities among laboratories.)
