35、 For reference, descriptions of typical casting defects and correspondingradiographic indication types are contained in Section 5. Purchasers and suppliers may, by mutual agreement, select particulardiscontinuity classes (see 1.2) to serve as standards representing minimum levels of acceptability. (

Where such modific

Descriptions of Discontinuities5.1 The following paragraphs are provided to aid in the identification and classification of discontinuities

41、. They briefly describethe radiographic appearance of common types of discontinuities and indicate their probable cause.5.1.1 Gas HolesAppear as round or elongated smooth-edged dark spots which may occur either individually, in clusters, ordistributed throughout the casting section. They are general

42、ly caused by trapped air or mold gases.NOTE 3Discontinuities caused by evolved gases may occur as more or less spherical voids, but may also occur as elongated “worm holes” or cavitiessomewhat resembling certain types of shrinkage. It is recommended that the “worm hole” cavities be evaluated by the

43、use of the feathery or spongyshrinkage category reference radiographs.5.1.2 ShrinkageShrinkage is generally associated with improper feeding and manifests itself in the following differentindication forms:5.1.2.1 Sponge ShrinkageFound in heavier sections (generally over 2 in. in thickness). It appea

44、rs on the radiographs as a darkarea or areas, lacy in texture, usually with a diffuse outline.5.1.2.2 Feathery ShrinkageFound in thinner sections (under approximately 2 in.). It appears on radiographs as sponge butwith a more feathery outline.5.1.2.3 Linear ShrinkageUsually a continuous structure of

45、 connected lines, branches or network of variable length, width, anddensity.5.1.3 Hot TearsThe similarly appearing “hot tear” and “linear shrinkage” have distinctive characteristics. The followinginformation is presented as a guide to interpreters to minimize confusion in distinguishing hot tears fr

46、om linear shrinkage:5.1.3.1 Hot tears usually occur singly; shrinkage will generally be multiple.5.1.3.2 Hot tears propagate at or near the surface; shrinkage appears to propagate at or near the midsection.5.1.3.3 Hot tears generally occur at hot spots or section changes; linear shrinkage frequently

47、 occurs at uniform sections also.5.1.3.4 Hot tears occur where temperature gradients are high; shrinkage occurs where temperature gradients are low.5.1.3.5 Hot tears occur transverse to the direction of greatest stress.5.1.3.6 Hot tears can only be counteracted by altering the stress pattern or ther

48、mal pattern; shrinkage can always be counteredby sufficient feed metal.5.1.4 Nonmetallic Inclusions:5.1.4.1 SandIrregularly, angularly shaped indications, more dense than the background, caused by clumps of trapped sandparticles or pebbles.5.1.4.2 DrossA series of lines in a swirl pattern sometimes

49、combined with agglomerated irregular indications. Dross isgenerally considered to represent oxidized metal.E272 1536.
