The supplier shall demonstrate that the material will meet fully heat-treated properties after full heat treatment in accordance with Table 2. Stress rupture is not required
for alloys N09925 and N07725.
B
Test specimens meeting minimum requirements may be overloaded to produce rupture in a reasonable and practical time period.
