Classification4.1 Castings shall be classified by inspection classes.4.1.1 Classes (Inspection):4.1.1.1 Class 1A class of casting, the single failure ofwh

19、ich would result in the loss of a missile, aircraft, or othervehicle.4.1.1.2 Class 2Class 1 castings not included in Class 1,the single failure of which would cause significant danger tooperating personnel or would result in a significant operationalpenalty. In the case of missiles, aircraft, and ot

20、her vehicles, thisincludes loss of major components, loss of control, uninten-tional release of inability to release armament stores, or failureof weapon installation components.4.1.1.3 Class 3Castings having a margin of safety of200 % or less.4.1.1.4 Class 4Castings having a margin of safety ofgrea

21、ter than 200 %, or for which no stress analysis is required.All target drone castings and aerospace ground support equip-ment fall in this category, except for such critical parts, thefailure of which would make the equipment unsatisfactory andcause the vehicles which they are intended to support to

22、 beinoperable.4.1.2 Grades (Radiographic Quality):NOTE 1Caution should be exercised in specifying the grade ofmaximum permissible radiographic discontinuity level to be met in thecasting. Radiographic quality has only a qualitative relationship tomechanical properties. In general, the highest proper

23、ty levels of an alloywill require the higher grades of radiographic quality. However, sectionsize and shape parameters may be able to tolerate certain discontinuitieswithout significant reduction in functional integrity. Too severe soundnessrequirements may cause the part producibility to be impract

24、ical oruneconomical.4.1.2.1 Grade AA grade in which there is no discerniblediscontinuity visible on the radiograph of the specified area ofthe casting.4.1.2.2 Grade BA premium grade of casting for criticalapplications or specified area of a casting with low margins ofsafety.4.1.2.3 Grade CA high-qua
