specific issue of individual documents referenced (see 2.2.1, 2.3 and A.2.1.1).
e. When first article is required (see 3.1).
f. Chemical composition and mechanical properties of aluminum armor
(see 3.2 and 3.3).
g. Drawings, dimensions, and tolerances (see 3.6 and 3.6.1).
h. Marking for identification (see 3.7).
i. Destination of tension test samples (see 4.2).
j. Locations of tension test specimens (see 4.5.2 c).
k. Locations for determination of ballistic limits (see 4.7.3).
l. Rejection requirement, if other than in 4.8.1.

the data requirements identified in 3.8 should be developed and delivered in
accordance with the approved Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL), incorporated
into the contract. The data specified should be delivered by the Contractor in
accordance with the contract or purchase order requirements.
6.3 Ownership of ballistic test extrusions.
6.3.1 First article and acceptance test extrusions. First article and
acceptance test extrusions that comply with the requirements of this
specification are considered as part of the lot of extrusions that they
represent, and ownership of them passes to the Government with acceptance of
that lot. First article and acceptance test extrusions that fail to comply
with the requirements of this specification are considered as part of the lot
they represent and remain the property of the manufacturer as does the
rejectable lot which they represent.
6.3.1.1 Disposal instructions for tested extrusions. At the time of
shipment of the first article and acceptance test extrusions the proving
ground should be informed by the manufacturer, in writing, as to the
disposition of first article and acceptance test which fail the test. If
instructions for disposal of the tested extrusions are not received after 15
days, the proving ground will exercise the prerogative of disposing of the
material.
6.4 Stress corrosion. To prevent failure in service due to stress
corrosion, care should be exercised in design and fabrication to avoid
stressing this material in the short transverse direction. No alkaline
etching should be permitted.
