1、Designation: A 997 08Standard Practice forInvestment Castings, Surface Acceptance Standards, VisualExamination1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 997; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l

2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers the acceptance criteria for surfaceinspection of investment castings by visual examination.1.2 Th

3、e 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 onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated

4、 with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:2.1.1 linear discontinuity, na discontinu

5、ity whose lengthis equal to or greater than three times its width. Cracks and coldshuts are examples of linear discontinuity.2.1.2 positive metal, nraised metal on the casting surfaceusually associated with the breakdown of the mold and itsreplacement with the casting metal.2.1.3 surface pit, na non

6、 linear depression in the castsurface whose length is less than three times its width. Surfacepits may be the result of gas or non metallic inclusions.2.1.4 surface roughness, na measure of surface textureusually determined by the use of a comparator.3. Ordering Information3.1 The inquiry or order s

7、hould specify the followinginformation:3.1.1 Acceptance LevelMore than one acceptance levelmay be specified for different surfaces of the same casting (seeSection 4),3.1.2 If any types of discontinuities are unacceptable,3.1.3 Casting surfaces to be examined,3.1.4 Number of castings to be examined,

8、and3.1.5 Additional acceptance criteria as applicable to all orportions of the casting surface.4. Acceptance Criteria4.1 Levels of acceptance for visual inspection are listed inTable 1.4.2 Parts shall not exhibit any linear discontinuities.4.3 Surface roughness and surface pits that will be removedb

9、y machining are considered acceptable.4.4 Surface discontinuities not covered in this practice shallbe a matter of agreement between the purchaser and themanufacturer.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsi
