ASTM A48 A48M-2003(2012) Standard Specification for Gray Iron Castings《灰铸铁件标准规格》.pdf

1、Designation: A48/A48M 03 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Specification forGray Iron Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A48/A48M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe

2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript 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.This specification replaces Federal Specification QQ-I-652.1. Scope1.1

3、This specification covers gray iron castings intended forgeneral engineering use where tensile strength is a majorconsideration. Castings are classified on the basis of the tensilestrength of the iron in separately cast test bars.1.1.1 This specification subordinates chemical compositionto tensile s

4、trength.1.2 Castings produced to this specification are graded on thebasis of minimum tensile strength obtained in special testcoupons designed to standardize cooling rate. The tensilestrength developed in certain casting sections may vary fromtest coupon values (see X1.2).1.3 The values stated in e

5、ither SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.2. Referenced

Cast Test Bars11.1 Test bars shall be separate castings poured from thesam

25、e lot as the castings they represent and shall have dimen-sions as shown in Table 4. Allowance may be made forreasonable pattern draft within the tolerances shown in Table 4.Test bars A, B, and C are all standard test bars in the form ofsimple cylinders. Test bar S is special and is intended for use

26、where the standard bars are not satisfactory.11.2 The test bars shall be cast in dried, baked, or chemi-cally bonded molds made mainly of an aggregate of siliceoussand with appropriate binders. The average grain size of thesand shall approximate that of the sand in which the castingsare poured. Mold

27、s for the test bars shall be approximately atroom temperature when poured. More than one test bar may becast in a single mold, but each bar in the mold shall besurrounded by a thickness of sand which is not less than thediameter of the bar. A suitable design for a mold is shown inFig. 2.NOTE 1The in

28、tent of these provisions is as follows: to prohibit thecasting of test bars in molds of metal, graphite, zircon, light-weightaggregates, or other materials which would significantly affect the tensilestrength of the iron; to prohibit control of tensile strength of the test barsby manipulation of the

29、 grain size of the sand; and to prohibit the castingof test bars in molds preheated substantially above room temperature.11.3 Test bars that are intended to represent castings that arecooled in the mold to less than 900F 480C, beforeshakeout, shall be cooled in their molds to a temperature lessthan

30、900F 480C. They then may be cooled in still air toroom temperature.11.4 Test bars that are intended to represent castings that arehotter than 900F 480C, when shaken out of their molds,shall be cooled as described in 11.3 or (by agreement betweenthe manufacturer and the purchaser) may be shaken out o

31、f theirmolds at approximately the same temperature as the castingsthey represent.11.5 When castings are stress-relieved, annealed, or other-wise heat-treated, test bars shall receive the same thermaltreatment and shall be treated adjacent to the castings theyrepresent.12. Number of Tests and Retests

32、12.1 The tension test shall be conducted in accordance withTest Method E8.12.2 One tension test shall be performed on each lot andshall conform to the tensile requirements specified.12.3 If the results of a valid test fail to conform to therequirements of this specification, two retests shall be mad

33、e. Ifeither retest fails to meet the specification requirements, thecastings represented by these test specimens shall be rejected.A valid test is one wherein the specimen has been properlyprepared and appears to be sound and on which the approvedtest procedure has been followed.12.4 If sufficient s

34、eparately cast test pieces are not available,the manufacturer shall have the option of removing a testspecimen from a location of representative casting, as agreedupon between the manufacturer and purchaser.12.5 If the first test results indicate that a heat treatment isneeded to meet the test requi

35、rements, the entire lot of castingsand the representative test specimens shall be heat treatedtogether. Testing shall proceed in accordance with 12.1-12.3.12.6 If, after testing, a test specimen shows evidence of adefect, the results of the test may be invalidated and anothermade on a specimen from

36、the same lot.13. Tension Test Specimens13.1 For test Bar A, the tension-test specimen A, as shownin Fig. 1, shall be machined concentric with the axis of the testbar.13.2 For test Bar B, the tension test specimen B, as shownin Fig. 1, shall be machined concentric with the axis of the testbar.13.3 Fo

37、r test Bar C, tension test specimens B or C, as shownin Fig. 1, shall be machined concentric with the axis of the testbar. Unless the size of the tension test specimen to be machinedfrom test bar C is specified in writing by the purchaser, thedecision whether to use tension test specimen B or C shal

38、l bemade by the manufacturer of the castings.13.4 For test bar S, the nature and dimensions of the tensiontest specimen shall be determined by agreement between themanufacturer and purchaser.14. Tension Test14.1 Tension test specimens shall fit the holders of thetesting machine in such a way that th

39、e load shall be axial.14.2 The elapsed time from the beginning of loading in thetension test to the instant of fracture shall be not less than 15s for test specimenAand not less than 20 s for specimens B andC.15. Inspection15.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchaseorder, the manufac

40、turer shall be responsible for carrying out allthe tests and inspections required by this specification, usinghis own or other reliable facilities, and he shall maintaincomplete records of all such tests and inspections. Such recordsshall be available for review by the purchaser.15.1.1 When agreed u

41、pon between the manufacturer andpurchaser, tested specimens or unbroken test bars from thesame lot shall be saved for a period of three months after thedate of the test report.TABLE 3 Separately Cast Test Bars for Use When a SpecificCorrelation Has Not Been Established Between the Test Bar andthe Ca

43、tion where such inspectionsare deemed necessary to ensure that supplies and servicesconform to the prescribed requirements.16. Rejection and Resubmission16.1 Any castings or lot of castings failing to comply withthe requirements of this specification may, where possible, bereprocessed, retested, and

44、 reinspected. If the tests and inspec-tions on the reprocessed casting(s) show compliance with thisspecification, the castings shall be acceptable; if they do not,they shall be rejected.16.2 If the purchaser should find that a casting or lot ofcastings fails to comply with this specification subsequ

45、ent toreceipt at his facility, he shall so notify the manufacturerpromptly and in no case later than six weeks after receipt of theshipment, stating clearly the basis for rejection.17. Certification17.1 When specified by the purchasers order or contract, amanufacturers certification or compliance st

46、atement that thecasting or lot of castings was made, sampled, tested, andinspected in accordance with this specification, including areport of test results shall be furnished at the time of shipment,and such certification or compliance statement shall be thebasis for acceptance of the casting or lot

47、 of castings.17.2 A signature is not required on the certification or testreport. However, the document shall clearly identify theorganization submitting the certification and the authorizedagent of the manufacturer who certified the test results.TABLE 4 Diameters and Lengths of Cast Test BarsTest B
