Chemical Requirements7.1 LimitsThe die casting shall conform to the require-ments as to chemical composition in Table 1. Conformanceshall be determined by the produce

23、ecification B949.7.4 Method of AnalysisSee Specification B949.8. Mechanical Properties and Tests8.1 Unless specified in the contract or purchase order, orspecified on the detail drawing, acceptance of die castingsunder this specification shall not depend on mechanical prop-erties determined by tensi

24、on or impact tests.8.1.1 Tensile strength, yield strength and elongation valuesshown in Table 1. They are Weibull analysis values to be usedfor design guidance. They are B50and B1values with 50 %confidence and were obtained from tests on 5.3 mm diameterseparately cast test bars which had a 25.4 mm g

25、age length. Thebars were tested in the as-cast condition.NOTE 1The property values of test bars cut from castings will varydepending on the solidification rate of the individual casting. Solidifica-tion and cooling rate are significantly influenced by casting section size.Also due to cooling rate an

26、d section size variation, the properties of barsmachined from castings may vary from those of separately cast test bars.For these reasons, acceptance or rejection of the casting shall be based onchemistry. Hardness and mechanical properties may be used when agreedby the purchaser and supplier, and s

27、pecified on the engineering drawing.8.1.2 Hardness (Test Method E10)The hardness shall bedetermined on the casting unless otherwise specified on thepart drawing. A Brinell hardness test will be performed using a500 kg load and a 10 mm ball unless otherwise specified andagreed to by supplier and user

28、. If the part is too small for aBrinell test, a Rockwell F or K hardness test is suggested.9. Permissible Variations in Dimensions9.1 Permissible variations in dimensions shall be within thelimits specified on the drawings or in the contract or purchaseorder.9.1.1 Any dimensions for which a toleranc
