Materials and Manufacture5.1 The metal used in the manufacture of die castings shallbe zinc

19、alloy of a specified chemical composition conformingto the requirements of Specification B892.5.2 The material covered by this specification shall be ofuniform quality and shall be free of harmful contamination.6. Quality Assurance6.1 Responsibility for InspectionWhen specified in thecontract or pur

20、chase order, the producer or supplier is respon-sible for the performance of all inspection and test require-ments specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in thecontract or order, the producer or supplier may use his own orany other suitable facilities for the performance of the inspec-tion

21、and test requirements specified herein, unless disapprovedby the purchaser. The purchaser shall have the right to performany of the inspections and tests set forth in this specification.Quality assurance standards shall be agreed upon between theproducer or supplier and purchaser at the time a contr

22、act ororder is placed.6.2 For normal inspection purposes, an inspection lot shallconsist of the production from each die during a singleproduction run, as defined and recorded by the producer, andshipped, or available for shipment, at one time.6.2.1 The producer or supplier shall examine each diecas

23、ting of a randomly or statistically selected sample todetermine conformance to the requirements of the contract,purchase order, or part drawing. The results of this inspectionshall be recorded.6.2.1.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract, purchaseorder, or part drawing, detailed dimensional co

24、nformance shallnormally be determined on one or more production samples.6.2.2 When specified in the contact, purchase order, or partdrawing, special inspection lot definitions may be established,for a specific part.7. Chemical Requirements7.1 LimitsThe die casting shall conform to the require-ments

25、as to chemical composition in Table 1. Conformanceshall be determined by the producer by analyzing samplestaken at the time castings are made. If the producer hasdetermined the chemical composition of the metal during thecourse of manufacture, he shall not be required to sample andanalyze the finish

26、ed product.7.1.1 When a detailed chemical analysis is required with ashipment, is shall be called for in the contract or purchaseorder.7.1.2 If the producers or suppliers method of compositioncontrol is acceptable, sampling for chemical analysis may bewaived at the discretion of the purchaser.7.2 Nu

27、mber of SamplesWhen required, samples for deter-mination of chemical composition shall be taken to representthe following:7.2.1 A sample shall be taken from each of two representa-tive castings selected from each lot defined in 6.2.7.3 Methods of SamplingSamples from die castings fordetermination of

28、 chemical composition shall be taken inaccordance with Specification B949, Section 6.5 and 6.6.7.4 Method of AnalysisThe determination of chemicalcomposition shall be made in accordance with SpecificationB949, Section 5.2.2.7.4.1 In case of dispute, the results secured by Test MethodsE536, ISO 3815-

29、1,orISO 3815-2 shall be the basis of accep-tance.NOTE 1Test Methods E536 is not directly applicable to ACuZinc5.ISO 3815-1and ISO 3815-2 are generic methods applied to zinc and zincalloys. Each of the methods may be modified and formatted for the alloyto be assayed. An experienced chemist, using sui

Mechanical Properties and Tests8.1 Unless specified in the contract or purchase order, orspecified on the detail drawing,

31、 acceptance of die castingsunder this specification shall not depend on mechanical prop-erties determined by tension or impact tests.8.1.1 Tensile strength, yield strength and elongation valuesshown in Table 1.

They are B50and B1values with 50 %confidence and were obtained from tests on 5.3 mm diameterseparately cast test bars which had a 25.4 mm gage length. Thebars were tested in the as-cast condition.N

35、OTE 2The property values of test bars cut from castings will varydepending on the solidification rate of the individual casting. Solidifica-tion and cooling rate are significantly influenced by casting section size.Also due to cooling rate and section size variation, the properties of barsmachined f

36、rom castings may vary from those of separately cast test bars.For these reasons, acceptance or rejection of the casting shall be based onchemistry. Hardness and mechanical properties may be used when agreedby the purchaser and supplier, and specified on the engineering drawing.8.1.2 Hardness (Test M

37、ethod E10)The hardness shall bedetermined on the casting unless otherwise specified on thepart drawing. A Brinell hardness test will be performed using a500 kg load and a 10 mm ball unless otherwise specified andagreed to by supplier and user. If the part is too small for aBrinell test, a Rockwell F

38、 or K hardness test is suggested.9.
