6.           The quality of surface

(1).The surface of aluminum rod should be neat and well-distributed in dimension.

(2). The surface of aluminum rod should be clean without wrinkles,wrong roundness,cracks,impurity,twists and other defects affecting using,but slight mechanical scratches,little speckles,are permitled.

Note:Standard specification for aluminum 1350 drawing stock for electrical purposes.
