1) Unless otherwise specified, the material shall be supplied in the cold worked or solution
treated condition, suitable for subsequent age hardening.
The cold worked or solution
treated material shall be capable of meeting the mechanical property requirements of Table
3, and the stress rupture lequirements of Table 4 (except alloys UNS N07022, N09925 and
N07725), following the precipitation hardening treatment described in Table 2.

condition, the requirements of Table 3 and Table 4 (except alloys UNS N07022, N09925 and
N()7725) shall apply, with the precipitation hardening treatment of Table 2, or as agreed
upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer as part of the purchase contract,
