A “Casting Class“ of AMS 2175 may be selected to specify the method and frequency of inspection. 3.7.3 Castings shall be produced under radiographic control. This control shall
28、consist of 100% radiographic inspection of castings until process control factors (See 4.4.2) have been established to ensure production of acceptable castings. Unless otherwise specified by purchaser, continued radiographic inspection of production castings shall be performed at a frequency determi
29、ned by the vendor to ensure continued maintenance of internal quality. 3.7.4 Radiographic inspection shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM E 1742, unless otherwise specified by purchaser. 3.7.5 When specified by purchaser, castings shall be fluorescent penetrant inspected using a method specifi
30、ed by purchaser, or, if not specified, a method in accordance with ASTM E 1417. 3.7.6 Castings shall not be peened, plugged, impregnated, or welded unless authorized by purchaser. 3.7.6.1 When authorized by purchaser, welding in accordance with AMS 2694 or other welding program approved by purchaser

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The vendor of castings shall supply all samples for vendors tests and shall be responsible for the performance of all required tests. Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed
32、necessary to ensure that the castings conform to specified requirements. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4260G Page 5 of 7 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptance Tests Except as specified in 4.2.1.1, composition (3.1), tensile properties of separately-cast specimens (3.6.1.1), and quality (3.7) are accep
33、tance tests and shall be performed to represent each melt or heat treat lot as applicable. 4.2.1.1 Tensile properties of specimens cut from a casting or from integrally-cast coupons shall be determined when specified by purchaser or when separately-cast specimens are not available. Tensile propertie
34、s of separately-cast specimens need not be determined when tensile properties of specimens cut from a casting or from integrally-cast coupons are determined. 4.2.2 Periodic Tests Radiographic inspection (3.7.3) following the establishment of process control (4.4.2) is a periodic test and shall be pe
35、rformed at a frequency selected by the vendor unless frequency of testing is specified by purchaser. 4.2.3 Preproduction Tests All technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed on the first-article shipment of a casting to a purchaser, when a change in material and/or process
36、ing requires reapproval as in 4.4.2, and when purchaser deems confirmatory testing to be required. 4.3 Sampling and Testing Shall be in accordance with the following: 4.3.1 One chemical analysis specimen in accordance with 3.4.1 from each melt for conformance to 3.1. 4.3.2 One or more separately-cas
37、t tensile specimens in accordance with 3.4.2 from each heat treat lot, except when purchaser specifies specimens cut from a casting or integrally-cast coupons as in 4.3.4. 4.3.3 One or more preproduction castings in accordance with 4.4.1 of each part number. 4.3.4 One or more castings from each heat
38、 treat lot when properties are required from specimens cut from a casting. For determining conformance to the requirements of 3.6.1.2, if specimen locations are not shown on the drawing, two specimens from the thickest section and two specimens from the thinnest section, shall be cut from a casting
39、or castings from each heat treat lot. 4.3.4.1 When permitted by purchaser, tensile specimens conforming to ASTM B 557 or ASTM B 557M excised from integrally-cast coupons may be used in lieu of separately-cast specimens (4.3.2) or specimens cut from a casting or castings (4.3.4). Size, number, and lo
40、cation of integrally-cast coupons shall be as specified by purchaser. 4.4 Approval 4.4.1 Sample castings from new or reworked tooling (i.e., patterns, molds, dies, etc.) and the casting procedure shall be approved by purchaser before castings for production use are supplied, unless such approval be
41、waived by purchaser. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4260G Page 6 of 7 4.4.2 Vendor shall establish, for production of sample castings of each part number, parameters for the process control factors which will produce acceptable castings; these shall constitute the approved casting procedure and shall be used
42、for producing production castings. Vendor shall also establish control factors for producing separately-cast tensile specimens, but these control factors need not be identical to those used for production of castings. Method for production of separately-cast tensile specimens shall be consistent for
43、 all cast material. If necessary to make any change in parameters for the process control factors, vendor shall submit for reapproval a statement of the proposed changes in processing and, when requested, test specimens, sample castings, or both. Production castings incorporating the revised operati
44、ons shall not be shipped prior to receipt of reapproval. 4.4.2.1 Control factors for producing tensile specimens and castings include, but are not limited to, the following. Suppliers procedures shall identify tolerances, ranges, and/or control limits, as applicable. Control factors for separately-c
45、ast tensile specimens must generally represent, but need not be identical to, those factors used for castings. Type of furnace Furnace atmosphere Alloy additions, fluxing, deoxidation, and gas removal procedures Gating and risering practices Mold composition and molding practice Core composition and
46、 fabrication method, when applicable Metal pouring temperature; variation of 50 F (28 C) from the established limit is permissible Solidification and cooling procedures Stabilization/precipitation heat treat cycle Straightening procedure, when applicable Cleaning operations Methods of inspection Rad
47、iographic inspection sampling plan, if used. 4.4.2.1.1 Any of the process control factors for which parameters are considered proprietary by the vendor may be assigned a code designation. Each variation in such parameters shall be assigned a modified code designation. 4.5 Reports The vendor of casti
48、ngs shall furnish with each shipment a report showing the results of tests for composition of each melt and the results of tests for tensile properties of separately-cast specimens representing each heat treat lot or of specimens cut from a casting or integrally-cast coupons from each heat treat lot
49、, and stating that the castings conform to the other technical requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, melt and heat treat lot numbers, AMS 4260G, part number, and quantity. 4.6 Resampling and Retesting If any specimen used in the above tests fails to meet specified requirements, disposition of the castings may be based on the results of testing two additional specimens for each original nonconforming speci
