Designation:A1025/A1025M10(Reapproved 2015)Standard Specification forFerroalloys and Other Alloying Materials,GeneralRequirements1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A1025/A1025M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers a group of common require-ments that,unless otherwise specified in an individualspecification,shall apply to ferroalloys and other alloyingmaterials under each of the following ASTM specifications:Title of SpecificationASTM DesignationFerromanganeseA99FerrosiliconA100FerrochromiumA101FerrovanadiumA102FerromolybdenumA132Molybdenum Oxide ProductsA146FerroboronA323FerrotitaniumA324Chromium MetalA481Ferrochrome-SiliconA482SilicomanganeseA483Calcium-Silicon AlloysA495FerrocolumbiumA550Electrolytic Manganese MetalA601Nickel Oxide SinterA636Ferromanganese SiliconA701Titanium Scrap for Use in Deoxida-tion and Alloying of SteelA845Aluminum Scrap for Use in Deoxida-tion and Alloying of SteelA846Silicon MetalA9221.2 This specification also covers a group of supplementaryrequirements which may be applied to the above specificationsas indicated therein.These are provided for use when addi-tional testing or inspection is desired and apply only whenspecified individually by the purchaser in the order.1.3 In case of conflict between the requirements of theindividual specification and this general specification,theformer shall prevail.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.4.1 This specification is expressed in both inch-poundunits and in SI units(Within the text,the SI units are shown inbrackets);however,unless the purchase order or contractspecifies the applicable M specification designation(SI units),the inch-pound units shall apply.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A99 Specification for FerromanganeseA100 Specification for FerrosiliconA101 Specification for FerrochromiumA102 Specification for FerrovanadiumA132 Specification for FerromolybdenumA146 Specification for Molybdenum Oxide ProductsA323 Specification for FerroboronA324 Specification for FerrotitaniumA481 Specification for Chromium MetalA482 Specification for Ferrochrome-SiliconA483 Specification for SilicomanganeseA495 Specification for Calcium-Silicon AlloysA550 Specification for FerrocolumbiumA601 Specification for Electrolytic Manganese MetalA610 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Ferroalloys forDetermination of SizeA636 Specification for Nickel Oxide SinterA701 Specification for Ferromanganese-SiliconA845 Specification for Titanium Scrap for Use in Deoxida-tion and Alloying of Steel(Withdrawn 2005)31This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloysand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.18 on Castings.Current edition approved Nov.1,2015.Published November 2015.Originallyapproved in 2002.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as A1025/A1025M 10.DOI:10.1520/A1025_A1025M-10R15.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 A846 Specification for Aluminum Scrap for Use in Deoxi-dation and Alloying of Steel(Withdrawn 2005)3A922 Specification for Silicon MetalE29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsE32 Practices for Sampling Ferroalloys and Steel Additivesfor Determination of Chemical Composition(Withdrawn2015)33.Ordering Information3.1 Orders for material should include the following asrequired,to describe the material adequately:3.1.1 ASTM designation and year of issue,3.1.2 Grade of material,3.1.3 Size of material,3.1.4 Quantity,3.1.5 Packaging requirements,and3.1.6 Supplementary requirements desired,including thestandards of acceptance.4.Chemical Analysis4.1 The chemical analysis method shall be agreed upon bythe p
