Purity Requirements:

Metallic element impurities, and

Non-metallic element impurities.

Grain Size Requirements—Grain size.

Inner Quality Requirements—Internal defect.

Bonding Requirements:

Backing plate, and

Bonding ratio.

Configuration Requirements:

Dimension,

Tolerance, and

Surface roughness.

Appearance Requirements—Surface cleanness.

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
