Control factors of 4.4.2.2 shall apply. 3.3 Condition Castings shall be delivered in the homogenized, overaged, and solution hea

20、t treated condition (see 3.5). 3.4 Test Specimens Specimens shall be separately-cast, integrally-cast (see 8.3.8), or machined from a casting, and shall conform to 3.2. 3.4.1 If specimens are separately-cast, producer shall have a written procedure acceptable to purchaser. Control factors of 4.4.2.2

21、 shall apply. 3.4.2 Each master heat shall be qualified by evaluation of chemical, hardness, and tensile specimens. 3.4.2.1 If replenishments are made at remelt as in 3.2.4, the frequency of sampling and testing used by the producer for qualification to 3.4.2 shall be acceptable to purchaser. 3.4.2.

22、2 Tensile tests of 3.4.2 are not required if these tests are conducted using integrally-cast specimens (4.3.3.2) or specimens machined-from-casting (4.3.3.3). 3.4.3 Chemical Analysis Specimens Shall be of any convenient size and shape. 3.4.4 Tensile Specimens Shall be of standard proportions in acco

23、rdance with ASTM A370 with 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) diameter at the reduced parallel gage section. 3.4.4.1 Separately-cast and integrally-cast specimens may be either cast to size or cast oversize and subsequently machined to 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) diameter. 3.4.4.2 When integrally-cast specimens and/or s

24、pecimens machined-from-casting are specified, specimen size and location shall be as agreed upon by purchaser and producer (see 8.3.9 and 8.5). 3.4.5 Hardness Specimens for Response to Heat Treatment May be a representative specimen or a casting.

28、nt Castings or specimens for testing after maraging shall be heat treated as in 3.5.1 and the following: 3.5.2.1 Marage Heat to 900 F 15 F (482 C 8 C), hold at heat for 3 hours 0.25 hour, and cool to room temperature at a rate equivalent to air cool or faster. 3.5.3 Tensile specimens used for master

29、 heat qualification may be heat treated separately from castings. 3.6 Properties Conformance shall be based upon testing of separately-cast specimens unless purchaser specifies integrally-cast specimens or specimens machined-from-casting.

Table 2 - Minimum room temperature tensile properties of separately-cast specimens Property Value Tensile Strength Yield Strength at 0.2% Offset Elongation in 4D Reduction in Area 270 ksi (1862 MPa) 250 ksi (1724 MPa) 3% 10% 3.6.1.1 The strain rate shall be set at 0

32、.005 inch/inch/minute (0.005 mm/mm/minute) and maintained within a tolerance of 0.002 inch/inch/minute (0.002 mm/mm/minute) through 0.2% offset yield strain. After the yield strain, the speed of the testing machine shall be set between 0.05 and 0.5 inch/inch (mm/mm) of the length of the reduced sect

33、ion (or distance between the grips for specimens not having a reduced section) per minute. Alternatively, an extensometer and strain rate indicator may be used to set the strain rate between 0.05 and 0.5 inch/inch/minute (mm/mm/minute). SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS5337E Page 5 of 11 3.6.2 Hardness Shall be

34、 as follows, determined in accordance with ASTM A370: 3.6.2.1 Production castings in the homogenized, overaged, and solution heat treated condition of 3.5.1 shall have hardness not higher than 35 HRC, or equivalent (see 8.2). 3.6.2.2 Hardness as a Response to Heat Treatment Castings and specimens in

36、from imperfections detrimental to usage of the castings. Castings shall be free of cracks, laps, hot tears, and cold shuts, and free of scale and other process-induced surface contamination that would obscure defects. 3.7.2 Castings shall be produced under radiographic control. This control shall co

37、nsist of radiographic examination of each casting part number until foundry manufacturing controls in accordance with 4.4.2 have been established. Additional radiography shall be conducted in accordance with the frequency of inspection specified by purchaser, or as necessary to ensure continued main

38、tenance of internal quality. 3.7.2.1 Radiographic inspection shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM E1742 or other process method specified by purchaser. 3.7.3 When specified, additional nondestructive testing shall be performed as follows: 3.7.3.1 Fluorescent penetrant inspection in accordance

39、with ASTM E1417 or other process method specified by purchaser. 3.7.3.2 Magnetic particle inspection in accordance with ASTM E1444 or other method specified by purchaser. 3.7.4 Acceptance standards for radiographic, magnetic particle, fluorescent penetrant, visual, and other inspection methods shall

40、 be as agreed upon by purchaser and producer (see 8.3.9). AMS2175 may be used to specify acceptance standards (casting grade) and frequency of inspection (casting class). 3.7.4.1 When acceptance standards are not specified, Grade C of AMS2175 shall apply and radiographic indications of gas holes, sa

41、nd spots, and inclusions shall be cause for rejection when closer to the edge than twice their maximum dimension. 3.7.5 Castings shall not be peened, plugged, impregnated, or welded unless authorized by purchaser. 3.7.5.1 When authorized by purchaser, welding in accordance with AMS2694 or other weld

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The producer of castings shall supply all samples for producers tests and shall be responsible for the performance of all required tests. Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to p

43、erform any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure that the castings conform to specified requirements.
