[MW:23039] Heat Analysis Requirements

By Materials & Welding
Dear All,
            We all know that ASTM 105 & ASTM A 234 have their own General requirements given in ASTM A 960, A 961 etc. which should also be addressed along with original Product requirements. 

Now as per A 960/ 961 : Heat Analysis : "An Analysis of each heat of steel shall be made by the manufacturer to determine the percentage of those element specified in the individual product specification. If secondary melting process are employed, the heat analysis shall be obtained from one re-melted ingot of each Primary melt. The chemical Analysis thus determined shall conform to the requirements of the individual product specification. Note that Product Analysis(Check analysis) tolerances are not to be applied to the heat analysis requirements." 
Product Analysis: If a Product Analysis is performed, it shall be in accordance with Test Methods, Practices & Terminology A 751.

I have following questions for the above.

1. I want to know what exactly A 960/961 wants to say for "Black Highlighted-Underlined Part of "Heat Analysis". What is Primary & Secondary Melting Processes???
2. I have TCs of ASTM A 105 & ASTM A 234, which are only having Product Analysis. They don't have "Heat Analysis" Can we say that it is totally conforming to A 105 & A234?? As far as I can understand "Heat Analysis" is Mandatory for materials having this both Grades, "Product Analysis" is optional. m I right????

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

By Materials & Welding
Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...
