Materials and Manufacture4.1 Melting ProcessThe steel shall be made by open-hearth or electric-furnace process, with or witho

29、ut separate refining suchas argon-oxygen-decarburization (AOD), unless otherwise designated by the individual specification.4.2 Heat Treatment:4.2.1 Ferritic and martensitic steel shall be cooled after pouring to provide substantially complete transformation of austeniteprior to heat treatment to en

30、hance mechanical properties.4.2.2 Castings shall be heat treated in the working zone of a furnace that has been surveyed in accordance with Test MethodA991/A991M.4.2.2.1 When castings are heat treated at temperatures above 2000F 1100C, then the working zone shall have beenestablished by a survey per

31、formed at not more than 25F 15C below nor more than 200F 110C above the minimum heattreatment temperature specified for the grade. If a minimum heat treatment temperature is not specified for the grade, then thesurvey temperature shall be not more than 50F 30C below nor more than 175F 100C above the

32、 furnace set point used.4.2.2.2 The maximum variation in measured temperature as determined by the difference between the highest temperature andthe lowest temperature shall be as agreed between the purchaser and producer except that during production heat treatment, noportion of the furnace shall b

33、e below the minimum specified temperature nor above the maximum specified temperature for thegrade being processed.5. Chemical Composition5.1 Chemical AnalysisChemical analysis of materials covered by this specification shall be in accordance with Test MethodsA751.5.2 Heat AnalysisAn analysis of eac

34、h heat shall be made by the manufacturer to determine the percentages of the elementsspecified. The analysis shall be made from a test sample preferably taken during the pouring of the heat. When drillings are used,they shall be taken not less than 14 in. 6.4 mm beneath the surface. The chemical com

35、position thus determined shall be reportedto the purchaser, or his representative, and shall conform to the requirements in the individual specification for the grade beingpoured.5.3 Product AnalysisA product analysis may be made by the purchaser from material representing each heat, lot, or casting

36、.The analysis shall be made on representative material. Due to the possibility of decarburization, carbon and alloy steel samplesfor carbon analysis shall be taken no closer than 14 in. 6.4 mm to a cast surface except that castings too thin for this shall beanalyzed on representative material. The c

37、hemical composition thus determined shall meet the requirements specified in theapplicable specification for the grade involved, or shall be subject to rejection by the purchaser, except that the chemicalcomposition determined for carbon and low-alloy steel castings may vary from the specified limit

38、s by the amounts shown in Table1. The product analysis tolerances of Table 1 are not applicable as acceptance criteria for heat analysis by the casting manufacturer.5.4 Unspecified ElementsWhen chemical analysis for elements not specified for the grade ordered is desired, SupplementaryRequirement S1

39、 may be specified.5.5 Grade substitutionGrade substitution is not permitted. Grade substitution occurs when the material being suppliedcontains one or more elements that are not specified for the supplied material such that the material conforms to the requirementsof a different grade.5.6 Where more

40、 than one ladle is poured into a single casting, the molten metal in each ladle must conform to the specifiedchemical requirements.6. Mechanical Test Methods6.1 All mechanical tests shall be conducted in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370.7. Tensile Requirements7.1 One tension test sh

41、all be made from each heat, and shall conform to the tensile requirements specified. Test coupons shallbe cast from the same heat as the castings represented, except that for investment castings, the test coupons shall be cast in thesame type of mold as the castings.67.2 The coupon from which the te

42、st specimen is taken shall be heat treated in production furnaces to the same procedure as thecastings it represents.7.3 Test specimens may be cut from heat-treated castings, at the producers option, instead of from test coupons.7.4 Investment CastingsFor investment castings, the coupons may be cast

43、 to shape or machined from coupons to dimensionsin accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370 or the ICI coupon shown in Fig. 1.6 Information on the relationship of mechanical properties determined on test coupons obtained as specified in 7.1 and 7.4 with those obtained from the casting may b

45、e 2, with Fig. 3, or with Fig. 4, except when Supplementary Requirement S26 isspecified. The test coupon in Fig. 4 shall be employed only for austenitic alloy castings with cross sections less than 212 in. 63.5mm. Tension test specimens shall be prepared in accordance with Test Methods and Definitio

46、ns A370.7.6 If any specimen shows defective machining or develops flaws, it may be discarded and another substituted from the sameheat.7.7 To determine conformance with the tension test requirements, an observed value or calculated value shall be rounded offin accordance with Practice E29 to the nea

47、rest 500 psi 5 MPa for yield and tensile strength and to the nearest 1 % for elongationand reduction of area.8. Repair by Welding8.1 Repair by welding shall be in accordance with the requirements of individual specification using procedures and weldersqualified in accordance with Practice A488/A488M

48、.9. Flanges9.1 When a flange from a flanged casting is removed to make a weld end casting, discontinuities may be observed that wouldnot have been detrimental in a flanged casting. The disposition of the casting shall be subject to agreement between the purchaserand manufacturer.10. Quality10.1 The

49、surface of the casting shall be free of adhering sand, scale, cracks, and hot tears as determined by visual examination.Other surface discontinuities shall meet the visual acceptance standards specified in the order.
