1.1 This specification covers additive manufacturing of parts manufactured via laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) processing of niobium-hafnium alloy used in spaceflight applications. Parts made using this processing method are typically used in applications that require mechanical properties similar to wrought products. Products built to this specification may require additional post-processing in the form of machining, polishing etc. to meet necessary surface finish and dimensional tolerances. 1.2 This specification is intended for the use of purchasers or producers, or both, of PBF-LB R04295 parts for defining the requirements based on classification methodology. 1.3 Users are advised to use this specification as a basis for obtaining parts that will meet the minimum acceptance requirements established and revised by consensus of committee members. 1.4 User requirements considered more stringent may be met by the addition to the purchase order. 1.5 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Other units are included only for informational purposes.
