1、Designation: A 602 94 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Specification forAutomotive Malleable Iron Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 602; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisio

2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers castings of ferritic, pearlitic,tempered pearlitic, and tempered martensitic grades of mal-leable iron

3、used in the products of the automotive and alliedindustries. Castings shall be heat treated to meet this specifi-cation.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E 10

4、 Test Method for Brinell Hardness of Metallic Materi-als3. Grades3.1 The specified grades with required hardness range andfinal heat treatment are shown in Table 1.3.2 The foundry may also produce Grades M4504 andM5003 by liquid quenching and tempering or alloying, or both.4. Hardness4.1 The foundry

5、 shall exercise the necessary controls andinspection procedures to ensure compliance with the specifiedhardness range. Hardness readings shall be taken in accordancewith Test Method E 10 after sufficient material has beenremoved from the casting surface to ensure representativehardness readings. The

6、 area or areas on the casting wherehardness is to be checked shall be established by agreementbetween supplier and purchaser and shown on the drawing.5. Microstructure Requirements5.1 Grade M3210 Ferritic Malleable Iron:5.1.1 The microstructure of Grade M3210 malleable ironshall consist of temper-ca

7、rbon nodules distributed in a matrixof ferrite.5.1.2 Because of reaction with the annealing furnace atmo-sphere, some depletion of carbon and silicon occurs at thesurface of the castings. This usually results in a rim which canconsist of coarse lamellar pearlite underlying a graphite-freeferritic su

8、rface layer. If the pearlite layer is excessive, it canresult in poor machinability. The rim, therefore, shall notexceed a depth greater than 0.050 in. (1.27 mm) as measuredfrom the casting surface.5.1.3 The area below the rim can contain some pearlite;however, it shall not exceed the amount shown i

10、 of liquid-quenched castings.5.2.2 Because of reaction with the annealing furnace atmo-sphere, some depletion of carbon and silicon occurs at thesurface of the castings. This usually results in a rim which canconsist of a graphite-free layer sometimes containing more orless combined carbon than the

11、underlying material.5.3 All grades shall be free of primary graphite.5.4 All grades shall not exceed 2 % spheroidal primarycarbides in the microstructure.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A04 on IronCastings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee A04.02 on Mal

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION OF MALLEABLE IRONX1.1 Definition and ClassificationX1.1.1 malleable irona cast iron in which the graphite ispresent as temper-carbon nodules instead of flakes, as in grayiron, or small spherulites, as in ductile iron.X1.1.2 The term malleable iron includes

20、 all grades ofmalleable iron, including those with a ferritic, pearlitic, tem-pered pearlite, or tempered martensite matrix.X1.2 Chemical CompositionX1.2.1 The chemical composition of malleable iron gener-ally conforms to the following range:Element Composition, %Total carbon 2.202.90Silicon 0.901.9

21、0Manganese 0.151.25Sulfur 0.020.20Phosphorus 0.020.15X1.2.2 Individual foundries will produce to narrower rangesthan those shown above. The composition is controlled suchthat the molten iron solidifies with all the carbon in thecombined form producing a “white iron structure free ofgraphite, which i

22、s heat treated to specifications.X1.3 MicrostructureX1.3.1 The microstructure of malleable iron consists of amatrix of ferrite, pearlite, tempered pearlite, or temperedmartensite or combinations of these containing temper carbonnodules (see Figs. X1.1-X1.6). The structure of the matrix iscontrolled

23、by heat treatment or composition, or both.X1.3.2 The matrix of the M3210 grade of malleable iron isessentially free of combined carbon but a small amount ofpearlite is permitted.X1.3.3 The matrices of the other grades of malleable ironcontain combined carbon as pearlite, tempered pearlite, ortempere

24、d martensite.X1.3.4 Because of reaction with the annealing furnaceatmosphere, some depletion of carbon and silicon occurs at thesurface of the castings. This usually results in a rim, which ifFIG. 1 Reference Photomicrograph Showing Allowable Pearlite inGrade M3210 Iron (100 3; 2 % Nital Etch)FIG. X

25、1.1 Grade M3210, Approximately HB 143 (1003)A 602 94 (2004)2excessive, can result in poor machinability. The rim on M3210malleable iron can consist of coarse pearlite underlying agraphite-free ferritic surface layer. The rim on the other gradescan consist of a graphite-free layer sometimes containin

26、g moreor less combined carbon than the underlying material.X1.4 Mechanical PropertiesX1.4.1 The mechanical properties listed in Table X1.1 canbe used for design purposes but the suitability of a particulargrade for an intended use is best determined by laboratory orservice tests.X1.4.2 The mechanica

27、l properties vary with microstructureand hardness. For optimum mechanical properties, especiallyin the liquid-quenched and tempered grades, section sizeshould be limited to34 in. (19.05 mm) to ensure a uniformstructure.X1.5 Typical ApplicationsX1.5.1 Grade M3210 is used in less highly stressed parts

28、where good machinability is important such as steering gearhousings, carriers, and mounting brackets.X1.5.2 Grade M4504 is used where slightly higher strengthand hardness is required such as certain compressor crank-shafts and hubs.X1.5.3 Grade M5003 is used where moderate strength orselective harde

29、ning, or both, are required for parts such asplanet carriers, certain transmission gears, and differentialcases.X1.5.4 Grade M5503 is used where better machinability orimproved response to induction hardening, or both, are neces-sary for parts requiring moderate strength.X1.5.5 Grade M7002 is used f

30、or parts where high strengthis required such as connecting rods and universal joint yokes.X1.5.6 Grade M8501 is used where high strength and wearresistance are required, such as certain gears.X1.6 Additional InformationX1.6.1 Additional information on malleable iron may befound in Refs. 1-6.33The bo
