2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers austenitic ductile iron c

3、astings,which are used primarily for their resistance to heat, corrosion,and wear, and for other special purposes.1.2 Austenitic ductile iron, also known as austenitic nodulariron or austenitic spheroidal iron, is characterized by having itsgraphite substantially in a spheroidal form and substantial

4、lyfree of flake graphite. It contains some carbides and sufficientalloy content to produce an austenitic structure.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyan

7、terial to this specification shall include thefollowing information:3.1.1 ASTM designation,3.1.2 Type of austenitic ductile iron required (see 6.1),3.1.3 Heat treatment required (see 4.2-4.4),3.1.4 If repair of castings is permitted (see 4.5),3.1.5 Size and number of test bars required (see 9.1-9.4

8、and10.1),3.1.6 Special tests, if required (see 12.1),3.1.7 Certification, if required (see 14.1), and3.1.8 Different preparation for delivery requirements, ifneeded (see 15.1).4. Manufacture4.1 Melting may be done in any furnaces that producecastings meeting the chemical and mechanical requirementso

9、utlined in this specification. These include cupolas, air fur-naces, electric furnaces, crucible furnaces, etc.4.2 By agreement between the manufacturer and the pur-chaser, the castings may be stress relieved by heating to 1150to 1200F (621 to 650C) for not less than 1 h nor more than2 h per inch of

10、 thickness in the thickest section. Heating andcooling shall be uniform and shall not be more than 400F(222C)/h for castings less than 1 in. (25.4 mm) in maximumthickness, nor more than 400F (222C) divided by themaximum section thickness in inches for thicker castings.During the cooling cycle, casti

11、ngs may be cooled in still airafter the temperature has dropped to 600F (315C).4.3 Whenever dimensional changes in high-temperatureservice are a problem, by agreement between the manufacturerand the purchaser, the castings may be stabilized by heating at1600F (870C) for 1 h per inch of section, with

12、 a minimum of1 h. Otherwise, the austenite, which is super-saturated withrespect to carbon, may reject carbon during service andproduce dimensional changes.4.4 By agreement between the manufacturer and the pur-chaser, castings with chilled edges or excessive carbides maybe annealed at 1750 to 1900F

13、(955 to 1040C) for12 to5hfollowed by uniform cooling, preferably in still air.4.5 Repair by welding, plugging, or other approved methodsmay be done only with written permission from the purchaser.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A04 on IronCastings and is the direct re

The maximummagnetic permeability value shall be agreed upon between themanufacturer and the purchaser.N

17、OTE 1A convenient shop test for differentiating the various types ofaustenitic ductile iron is based on the fact that a ground face of either thetest bar or the castings of Types D-2 and D-2C will not attract a small steelhorseshoe-type magnet which is normally attracted to steel (Alnicomagnet shoul

18、d not be used). Types D-3, D-3A, D-5, and D-5B areattracted, and types D-2B and D-4 may be slightly attracted. Thisnonmagnetic test is a convenient qualitative test only for Types D-2 andD-2C and shall not be used as a basis for acceptance.6. Chemical Requirements6.1 Many combinations of alloys can

19、be used to obtain anaustenitic ductile iron. This specification includes nine generaltypes defined by the composition limits in Table 1.6.2 Samples taken from test coupons, broken test speci-mens, or castings shall conform to the requirements as tochemical composition prescribed in Table 1. Sampling

20、 shall beconducted in accordance with Practice E59 and chemicalanalyses in accordance with Test Methods E 351 and E30. TestMethods E30 should only be used for analyzing those ele-ments for which specific coverage is not provided for in TestMethods E 351.6.3 Spectrometric techniques may also be used

21、for analysis,but should a dispute arise concerning chemical composition,Test Methods E 351 and E30 shall be used for refereemethods.6.4 The chemical analysis for total carbon shall be made oneither chilled cast pencil-type specimens or thin wafers ap-proximately132 in. (0.8 mm) thick cut from test c

22、oupons.Drillings shall not be used because of attendant loss ofgraphite.7. Mechanical Requirements7.1 Test specimens of austenitic ductile iron made accordingto this specification shall meet the test requirements prescribedin Table 2.7.2 The yield strength shall be determined in accordancewith Test

23、Methods E8, using one of the following procedures:the 0.2 % off-set method or the extension under load methodmay be used, by agreement between the purchaser and themanufacturer.8. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance8.1 The castings shall conform substantially to the dimen-sions on the drawings furni

24、shed 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 be free ofburnt-on sand and shall be reasonably smooth. Runners, risers,fins, and other usele

25、ss cast-on pieces shall be removed. In otherrespects, the castings shall conform to whatever points may bespecifically agreed upon between the manufacturer and thepurchaser.9. Test Bars9.1 The standard test bars shall be the 1-in. (25.4-mm) “Y”block and 1-in. (25.4-mm) keel block as shown in Fig. 1

26、andFig. 2, respectively. A modified keel block cast from the moldshown in Fig. 3 may be substituted for the 1-in. (25.4-mm) “Y”block or the 1-in. keel block.9.2 Whenever the section size of the castings is consider-ably less or greater than 1 in. (25.4 mm) and by agreementbetween the purchaser and t

27、he manufacturer, the12-in. (12.7-mm) or 3-in. (76.2-mm) “Y” blocks shown in Fig. 1 may beused.9.3 The test bars shall be cast in open molds made of asuitable core sand with a minimum of 112 in. (38.1 mm) ofsand on all sides and bottom of the12 and 1-in. (12.7 and25.4-mm) test bars and 3 in. (76.2 mm

28、) of sand for the 3-in.(76.2-mm) test bar.9.4 When investment castings are made to this specification,the manufacturer may use test specimens cast to size incorpo-rated in the mold with the castings, or separately cast to sizeusing the same type of mold and the same thermal conditionsthat are used t

29、o produce the castings. These test specimensshall be made to the dimensions shown in Fig. 1 of Specifica-tion A 732/A 732M or Fig. 4 and Fig. 3 of Test Methods andDefinitions A 370.9.5 It is recommended that test bars be poured immediatelyafter the castings and from the same ladle of metal. Test bar
