Scope1.1 This practice covers t

Fourlevels of acceptance standards are provided.1.2 Acceptance levels utilize Steel Castings Research andTrade Association (SCRATA)2graded reference comparatorsfor the visual determination of surface texture, s

5、 terms related to casting discontinuitiesare in Section 2.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bil
6、ity of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:2.1.1 expansion discontinuities:2.1.1.1 veins, nraised, narrow, linear ridges that formupon cracking of the sand mold or core due to expansion ofsand and the resulting mold or core stresses du
7、ring filling of themold with liquid steel.2.1.1.2 rat tails, nlong, narrow, linear depressions orsmall steps occurring on a casting surface. Rat tails form as aresult of sand expansion and minor buckling of the moldsurface during filling of the mold with liquid metal.2.1.1.3 scab, na raised, rough a
8、rea on a casting thatusually consists of a crust of metal covering a layer of sand.Sometimes, a scab consists of a raised, rough area of essen-tially solid metal on the surface of a casting.2.1.2 external chills:2.1.2.1 external chills, nusually metal blocks, or graphiteand carbon blocks, that are i
9、ncorporated into the mold tolocally increase the rate of heat removal during solidification.Brackets have the same purpose but represent an integral partof the casting. Brackets are produced by providing suitablecavities in the mold or core. External chills may produce flatspots and edges (raised ar
10、eas or depressions) on the castingsurface. Brackets merely change the casting appearance due totheir presence. Brackets may be removed or allowed to remainon the casting.2.1.2.2 parting line and core print fins, nthin projectionsof excess metal at the parting plane between mold halves orcore and mol
11、d. Causes are improper closing of the mold,insufficient weighting or clamping of the mold for pouring, oruneven pattern surfaces at the matching locations. Core printfins are usually caused by improper dimensions of core printsof the pattern or core box, by rough placement of cores in a softmold, or
12、 by inadequately secured cores.2.1.3 fusion discontinuities:2.1.3.1 wrinkles, nelongated, smooth depressions of thecasting surface, frequently appearing in closely spaced groups.Wrinkles result from irregularities of the liquid metal flow inthe mold cavity, frequently associated with low temperature
13、,and are distinguished from the more severe phenomenon oflaps, folds, or cold shuts where the casting surface is actuallyfolded over.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloysand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.18 on Cas

United States12.1.3.2 laps, folds, and cold shuts, ninterchangeableterms to describe the appearance of the casting surface that isactually folded over. They develop due
16、 to low temperature,unfavorable flow conditions caused by oxide films, or combi-nations thereof.2.1.3.3 misrun, nan incompletely formed casting, due toonly partial filling of the mold cavity when the liquid metalsolidifies prematurely. The resulting casting appearance ischaracterized by rounded edge
17、s, for a mild degree of misrun.Irregular, malformed edges of more severe misruns, and notfully formed castings, are characteristic. Frequently, misrunsare associated with such discontinuities as wrinkles or laps andfolds, or both.2.1.4 gas porosity, na concave discontinuity in castingsdue to the evo
18、lution of gas, either from the solidifying metal orthe surrounding mold.2.1.5 inserts:2.1.5.1 chaplets, nmetallic (steel) devices used to main-tain the spacing between the core and the mold. Low liquidmetal temperature and unfavorable flow conditions in the moldmay produce insufficient fusion and ca
19、use irregular contactareas on the casting surface.2.1.5.2 internal chills, nmetallic (steel) devices used tolocally increase the rate of heat removal during solidification.Incomplete fusion due to low liquid steel temperatures andprevailing flow conditions may produce irregularities of thesurface si
20、milar to those that may be associated with chaplets.2.1.6 linear discontinuities, nelongated discontinuitiesare considered linear if their length equals or exceeds threetimes the width.2.1.6.1 cracks, n cold and hot, less jagged, sometimesstraight ruptures that occur after solidification of the cast
21、ing,due to excessive strain. Sometimes cracks are referred to ascold, hot, or heat treat-cracks to indicate the condition of thecastings, or the operation during which the cracks occur.2.1.6.2 hot tears, njagged ruptures in castings that occurduring the final stages of solidification, while there is
22、 still someliquid in the interdendritic spaces, or shortly after solidificationis complete.2.1.7 metal removal marks, nflame cutting and air carbon-arc cutting produce parallel grooves in the cut-off area. Finermarks are produced with the abrasive cut-off wheel andgrinding.2.1.8 nonmetallic inclusio
23、ns, ncasting surface inclusionssuch as ceroxides, slag, and sand are partially or completelyremoved during the cleaning process of pressure blasting.Surface discontinuities left by these inclusions are referred toby the inclusion type that caused their formation:2.1.8.1 Ceroxides cause depressions o
24、n the surface of thecasting by displacement of molten metal. Ceroxides consist ofa mixture of low-melting oxides and partially fused sand. Thecrater-like appearance of the casting surface depression istypical.2.1.8.2 Depressions on the casting surface caused by slagare similar to those caused by cer
25、oxides. They differ by a morerounded appearance of the depression and do not exhibit thecrater-like appearance of ceroxides.2.1.8.3 Depressions caused by sand are similar to those ofceroxides and slag. Their appearance may, at times, moreclosely reflect the granular nature of the sand.2.1.9 shrinkag
26、e under risers and gates, and revealed bymachining, na shrinkage void is a discontinuity in castingsdue to the lack of available liquid feed metal during solidifi-cation contraction. Riser removal and machining may revealshrinkage that extends from the interior of the casting to thenear surface area
