ASTM B296-20

Standard Practice for Temper Designations of Magnesium Alloys, Cast and Wrought

Summary

1.1 This practice covers a system for designating the tempers of magnesium alloys, cast and wrought. The designations used in ASTM specifications under the jurisdiction of Committee B07 for magnesium alloy castings and wrought products conform to this practice.2

1.2 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.


Rationale:

This practice covers a system for designating the tempers of magnesium alloys, cast and wrought. The designations for temper are used for all forms of magnesium and magnesium-alloy products except ingots and are based on the sequence of basic treatments used to produce the various tempers. The temper designation follows the alloy designation, the two being separated by a dash.
