7、iron required (see 5.1),3.1.3 Heat treatment required (see 4.2 through 4.5),3.1.4 If repair of castings is permitted (see 4.6),3.1.5 Size and number of test bars required (see 11 through8.4 and 12.1),3.1.6 If special tests are required (see Section 7 and 9.1),3.1.7 If certification is required (see

8、14.1), and3.1.8 If different preparation for delivery requirements areneeded (see 15.1).4. Materials and Manufacture4.1 Melting may be done in any furnace that producescastings meeting the chemical compositions and mechanicalproperties outlined in this specification. These include cupolas,air furnac

9、es, electric furnaces, crucible furnaces, and so forth.4.2 By agreement between the manufacturer and thepurchaser, the castings may be stress relieved by heating to andholding in the temperature range from 1150 to 1200F (620 to650C) for not less than 1 nor more than 2 h/in. of thickness inthe thicke

10、st section. Heating and cooling shall be uniform andshall be not more than 400F (222C)/h for castings less than1 in. in maximum thickness, nor more than 400F/h divided bythe maximum section thickness in inches for thicker castings.During the cooling cycle, castings may be cooled in still airafter th

11、e temperature has dropped to 600F (315C).4.3 If the manufacturer can demonstrate that another treat-ment provides satisfactory stress relief, it may be used byagreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.4.4 Whenever dimensional changes in high-temperatureservice are a problem, by agreement

12、between the manufacturerand the purchaser, the castings may be stabilized by heating at1600F (870C) for 1 h/in. of section, for a minimum of 1 h.Otherwise, the austenite that is supersaturated with respect tocarbon may reject carbon during service and produce dimen-sional changes.4.5 By agreement be

13、tween the manufacturer and thepurchaser, castings with chilled edges or excessive carbidesmay be annealed at 1750 to 1900F (955 to 1040C) for12 to5 h, followed by uniform cooling, preferably in still air.4.6 Castings shall not be repaired by welding, plugging, orother methods without written permiss

United States15. Chemical Composition5.1 Many combinations of alloys can be used to obtain anaustenitic gray i

17、ron. This specification includes only the sixtypes defined by the chemical composition limits specified inTable 1.5.2 The chemical analysis for total carbon shall be made onchilled cast pencil-type specimens or from thin wafers approxi-mately132 in. (0.8 mm) thick cut from test coupons. Drillingsare

18、 not reliable because of the probable loss of graphite.5.3 Drillings taken from test coupons, broken testspecimens, or castings shall conform to the requirements forchemical composition as given in Table 1. Sampling shall beconducted in accordance with Practice E59 and chemicalanalysis in accordance

19、 with Test Methods E351 and TestMethods E30. Test Methods E30 should only be used foranalyzing those elements for which specific coverage is notprovided for in Test Methods E351.5.4 Spectrometric techniques may also be used for analysis,but should a dispute arise concerning chemical composition,chem

20、ical analyses determined by Test Methods E351 and TestMethods E30 shall be used for referee analysis.6. Mechanical Properties6.1 Although these irons are not used primarily for theirstrength, the tensile strength and Brinell hardness are indicativeof the correct metallurgical structure. The six type

21、s shallconform to the requirements given in Table 2.7. Magnetic Property Requirements7.1 A convenient shop test for differentiating the varioustypes of austenitic gray iron is based on the fact that a groundface of either the test bars or the castings of Types 1, 2, and 4will not attract a small ste

22、el horseshoe-type magnet, that isnormally attracted to steel. Types 1b,2b, 3, and 5 may beattracted to a magnet. This nonmagnetic test is a convenientqualitative test only for Types 1, 2, and 4 and shall not be usedas a basis for acceptance. In the event that nonmagneticcastings are specified, the m

23、agnetic permeability test shall beused. The specific test conditions and magnetic permeabilitylimits shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer and thepurchaser.NOTE 1Alnico magnets should not be used.8. Test Bars8.1 The separately cast test bars from which tension testspecimens are to be machine

24、d shall be cast to the size andshape shown in Fig. 1. The size of bar cast to represent thecasting shall be at the option of the purchaser. In case no optionis expressed, the manufacturer shall make the choice. The testbars shall be cast in open molds made of suitable core sandwith a minimum of 112

25、in. (38 mm) of sand on all sides andbottom of the12-in. (13-mm) and 1-in. (25-mm) sizes, and 3 in.(76 mm) of sand for the 3-in. test bar.8.2 By agreement between the manufacturer and thepurchaser, the 1-in. (25-mm) keel block shown in Fig. 2 may beused. It shall be an open mold made of suitable core

26、 sand witha minimum of 112 in. (38 mm) of sand on all sides and bottom.8.3 It is recommended that test bars be poured immediatelyafter the castings and from the same ladle of metal. If castingsare to be heat treated, test bars shall be included in the samefurnace load.8.4 By agreement between the ma

27、nufacturer and thepurchaser, tension test specimens may be cut directly fromcentrifugal or other permanent mold castings. The location andorientation of such tension test specimens cut from castingsshall be specified as agreed upon by the manufacturer and thepurchaser.9. Workmanship, Finish, and App

28、earance9.1 The castings shall conform substantially to the dimen-sions on the drawings furnished by the purchaser, or if nodrawing has been provided, to the dimensions predicated bythe pattern supplied by the purchaser. The castings shall be freeof injurious defects. Surfaces of the castings shall b

29、e free ofburnt-on sand and shall be reasonably smooth. In otherrespects, the castings shall conform to whatever points may bespecifically agreed upon between the manufacturer and thepurchaser.10. Tension Test Specimens10.1 The round tension test specimen with 2-in. or 50-mmgage length shown in Fig.

30、3 shall be used, except when the12-in. (13-mm) “Y” block is used or when specimens are cutfrom castings under34-in. (19.0-mm) thickness. In these cases,either of the test specimens shown in Fig. 4 shall be satisfac-tory.11. Number of Test11.1 The number of test bars cast shall be agreed upon bythe m

31、anufacturer and the purchaser.11.2 One tension test shall be made from sections cut fromthe test bars as shown in Fig. 5. If any tension test specimenshows obvious defects, another may be cut from the same testbar or from another test bar representing the same metal.12. Other Tests12.1 Hydrostatic t

32、ests for pressure castings, fracture tests,microstructure standards, radiography standards, and liquidpenetrant inspection may be set up by mutual agreementbetween the manufacturer and the purchaser.12.2 Radiography, when required, shall be in accordancewith Guide E94 and Reference Radiographs E446.

33、12.3 Liquid penetrant inspection, when required, shall be inaccordance with Test Method E165 and Reference PhotographsE433.13.
