1 Ratings A through E are relative ratings in decreasing order of merit, based on exposures to sodium chloride solution by intermittent spraying or immersion

Alloys with A and B ratings can be used in industrial and seacoast atmospheres without protection. Alloys with C, D and E ratings generally should be protected
at least on faying surfaces

2 Stress-corrosion cracking ratings are based on service experience and on laboratory tests of specimens exposed to the 3.5% sodium chloride alternate
immersion test

A= No known instance of failure in service or in laboratory tests

B= No known instance of failure in service; limited failures in laboratory tests of short transverse specimens

C= Service failures with sustained tension stress acting in short transverse direction relative to grain structure; limited failures in laboratory tests of long
transverse specimens

D= Limited service failures with sustained longitudinal or long transverse areas

3 Ratings A through D for Workability (cold), A through E for Machinability and A through C for Anodize Response, are relative ratings in decreasing order of merit

4 Ratings A through D for Weldability and Brazeability are relative ratings defined as follows:
A= Generally weldable by all commercial procedures and methods

B= Weldable with special techniques or for specific applications that justify preliminary trials or testing to develop welding procedure and weld performance

C= Limited weldability because of crack sensitivity or loss in resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties

D= No commonly used welding methods have been developed

Examples Illustrating Use of Table 11.2
Closed-Space Dimensions
All dimensions designated “Y” are classed as “metal dimensions,” and tolerances are determined
from column 2

Dimensions designated “X” are classed as “space dimensions through an enclosed void,” and the
tolerances applicable are determined from column 4 unless 75 percent or more of the dimension
is metal, in which case column 2 applies

Open-Space Dimensions
Tolerances applicable to dimensions “X” are
determined as follows:
1. Locate dimension “X” in column 1

2. Determine which of columns 4–9 is applicable,
dependent on distance “A.”
3. Locate proper tolerance in column 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
or 9 in the same line as dimension “X.”
\
Dimensions “Y” are “metal dimensions”; tolerances are determined from column 2

Distances “C” are shown merely to indicate incorrect values for determining which of columns
4–9 apply

Tolerances applicable to dimensions “X” are determined as follows: Tolerances applicable to dimensions “X” are not determined from Table
