If any single provision is not met, all required mechanical testing must be performed on the finished full sized fasteners. These provisions are explained as follows:a.

Proper product lot control and traceability must be in place.b. No heat treatment (including hot heading and hot forming), cold forming, drawing, rolling and thread rolling may be performed on the starting bar, fastener blanks or finished fasteners after the completion of the mechanical testing on the starting bar.c. and d. The proper size starting bar must be selected to ensure mechanical properties of finished fasteners are represented by the mechanical properties of the starting bar.e. The mandatory testing, axial tensile (studs) and wedge tensile (screws and bolts) must be performed on full sized fasteners.

Note that there is a typographical error in paragraph 4.5.2.7 and that the axial load test is a mandatory test that must beperformed on studs as required in paragraph 4.5.2.7.e.3.7.2 Thread rolling is a cold working process and is not considered to be a machining or grinding operation. Therefore, fasteners which have rolled threads do not satisfy the provisions of MIL-DTL-1222J paragraph 4.5.2.7.b and are not eligible for the"Alternate Mechanical Testing" provision.3.7.3 Thread rolling alone is not a sufficient cold working process to qualify a fastener to be in the cold worked (CW) condition. This condition is only applicable to some 300 series stainless steel studs, screws and nuts.

These CW condition fasteners mustbe manufactured from cold worked bar stock or be cold headed in order to qualify. The threads may subsequently be rolled, machined or ground. Testing of the finished fasteners and/or reporting of the starting bar stock material properties is subject to thesame provisions found in MIL-DTL-1222J paragraph 4.5.2.7 and discussed above.3.8 O-ring grooves and mating sealing surfaces must be inspected per the contractually invoked drawings or specifications.

When the drawings or specifications do not provide specific defect criteria or state that no defects are allowed, the General AcceptanceCriteria (GAC) standard must be used for inspecting O-ring grooves and mating sealing surfaces only. Repairs to sealing surfaces and O-ring grooves with unacceptable defects may be accomplished within the limits of the size and tolerances provided in theapplicable drawing. Repairs thatwould exceed these limits require approval (including final dimensions).

The data that is red lined (crossed out) is excluded from the GAC for this contract and is not to be used for acceptance or rejection criteria.

Substitution of thecommercial equivalentinspection in accordance with ASME B1 series is acceptable.3.18.1 System 21 of FED-STD-H28/20 must be used as a minimum inspection requirement for threads when the design drawing or design specification does not specify an inspection requirement.3.18.2 For Navy and Shipyard drawings, system 21 of FED-STD-H28/20 may be substituted for System 22 without further Navy approval when the design drawing invokes System 22 and does not cite governing specifications that specifically require system 22. System22 of FED-STD-H28/20 must be used when the drawing references other governing specifications that specifically require System 22, such as certain thread types of MIL-DTL-1222.3.18.3 A written request for concurrence must be submitted when utilizing alternative measuring equipment or measuring systems not applicable to the specified inspection system.3.19 Internal Threads - All internal threads must be formed by cutting. Cold forming of internal threads is not acceptable.3.20 Thread Lubricant - Thread lubricants containing molybdenum disulfide must not be used on this material.

Bacteria in water, especially seawater, causes molybdenum disulfide to break down. The by-products of the breakdown form compounds which attack thefasteners. Anti-galling compound A-A-59004 must be used as a replacement when thread lubricant is required for assembly.3.21 K-MONEL Fasteners - Material must be heat treated per QQ-N-286.3.21.1 Fasteners that have been hot or cold headed or roll threaded must be solution annealed followed by age hardening subsequent to all heading and thread rolling operations.
