Scope1.1 This standard extends the application of steel casting reference radiographs E446, E186, and E280 to ductile iron castingswhen determined appropriat
3、e for specific applications (see Section 4).1.2 The reference radiograph films are an adjunct to E446, E186, or E280, and must be purchased separately from ASTMInternational, if needed (see 2.1). Categories and severity levels for each discontinuity type represented by these referenceradiographs are
4、 described within each applicable standard above.NOTE 1The basis of application for these reference radiographs requires a prior purchaser supplier agreement of radiographic examination attributesand classification criterion as described in Sections 4, 5, and 6 of this standard.1.3 From time to time
5、, there may be minor changes to the process for manufacturing of the reference radiograph adjunctmaterials. These changes could include changes in the films or processing chemicals used, changes in the dies or printing for thecardboard mats, etc.; however, in all cases, these changes are reviewed by
6、 the Illustration Monitoring Subcommittee and allreference radiographs are reviewed against a fixed prototype image to ensure that there are no changes to the acceptance levelrepresented by the reference radiographs. Therefore, the adjunct reference radiographs remain valid for use with this standar

Significance and Use4.1 The casting process has demonstrated radiographic similarities between internal discontinuities for ductile cast iron and caststeel to the extent that the reference radiographs for steel castings are applicable. The exact application

In some applications, reference radiographs for steel castings may not be entirelyappli

Reference radiographsrepresented by these steel casting standards m

Determination of Radiographic Classification5.1 For purposes of evaluation of castings,
28、a determination must be made of the radiographic discontinuity classifications to beassigned to individual castings or specific areas of castings. The determination of the applicable radiographic discontinuityclassification shall be based on an evaluation of the casting applications, design, and ser
29、vice requirements. In these evaluations,consideration shall be given to such factors as pressure, temperature, section thickness, applicable design safety factor, vibration,shock, resistance to corrosion, involvement of penetrating radiations or radiation products, and involvement of dangerous gases
30、or liquids.5.2 For each individual casting or specific area of a casting to be radiographed, the discontinuity class must be clearly specified.For example, severity level 2 might be specified for linear shrinkage, Category Ca, and severity level 3 for gas porosity, CategoryA, since the latter are ge
31、nerally much less deleterious to tensile properties (see Section 6).5.3 When determining discontinuity severity levels for individual castings spanning multiple thickness ranges outside the rangeof this standard, consideration should be given to the potential for overlapping severity levels as descr
32、ibed in the applicable writtenstandard.5.4 Production radiographs which are compared to reference radiographs should have an optical density in the area of interestin accordance with Guide E94 and a specified minimum radiographic sensitivity (quality level) of 2 % (2-2T).1 Other radiographicquality
33、levels or optical densities may be designated, but then a corresponding change in severity level for each discontinuitycategory should be anticipated and hence specified.6. Classification Specifications6.1 The applicable radiographic discontinuity classification should be designated by the contracti
34、ng agency in formalspecifications, on drawings, or within specific contracts or orders. The specifications, drawings, contracts or order should alsoE689 152designate the examination sampling plan for the castings to be radiographed, the extent of radiographic coverage, radiographicpractice to be fol
35、lowed (that is, Guide E94), image quality desired (see Note 2) as well as the severity of the acceptablediscontinuity for the graded discontinuities.NOTE 2For description of radiographic sensitivity or quality levels, see Guide E94 and Reference Radiograph standard E242.7. Evaluation Procedure7.1 Co
36、mpare the production radiographs of the casting submitted for evaluation with the reference radiographs exposed at anequivalent energy range within the thickness range of the applicable standard (unless otherwise specifiedsee Section 4).7.2 When the severity level of discontinuities in the productio
37、n radiograph being evaluated is equal to or less than the severitylevel in the specified reference radiograph, that part of the casting represented by the production radiograph shall be acceptable.If the production radiograph shows discontinuities of greater severity than the reference radiograph, t
38、hat part of the casting shallbe rejected.7.3 A unit area on the production radiograph shall be evaluated to a unit area of like size on the reference radiograph. Anyevaluation unit area that shares a discontinuity with an adjacent unit evaluation area shall meet the minimum unit area acceptabilityre
39、quirements within the combined unit area. When the unit area of interest of a production radiograph is less than the unit areaof the applicable reference radiograph, such unit area of the production radiograph shall be prorated to the reference radiographicarea.7.4 When two or more categories of dis
40、continuity are present in the same production radiograph, the predominatingdiscontinuities, if unacceptable, shall govern without regard to the other categories of discontinuity and the casting rejected.7.5 When two or more categories of discontinuity are present to an extent equal to the maximum pe
41、rmissible level as shownin the applicable standards for each category, then that part of the casting shall be judged unacceptable. When two or morecategories of discontinuity are present in the same radiograph to an extent less than the maximum permissible level, as shown inthe applicable standards
42、for each category, the severity shall be evaluated by the overall aggregate condition. The aggregatecondition is defined as the balance of quantity, size and distribution of the collection of discontinuities and shall not exceed theaggregate condition of the applicable reference radiograph.7.6 Refer
43、ence radiographs are provided showing a variety of shrinkage discontinuity types. Production radiographs showingshrinkage shall be judged by the most representative reference radiograph.7.7 This standard does not specify limiting criteria for a single size of discontinuity, maximum number of discont
44、inuities perunit area evaluated, specific dimensional spacing and/or alignment criterion between individual discontinuities or any otherundefined discontinuity patterns. Unless otherwise specified by a purchaser supplier agreement (see Section 4), these discontinuityconditions on production radiogra
45、phs shall be evaluated as aggregate conditions as defined in 7.5.7.8 In general, there is no limit as to the extent of acceptable discontinuities in a casting, provided that no unit evaluation areathroughout the casting contains discontinuities that exceed the severity of discontinuities in the appl
46、icable reference radiographs.7.9 Reference radiographs in this standard do not illustrate elongated or “worm hole” type of gas discontinuities. When thiscondition occurs in a production radiograph, it shall be evaluated by comparison with the most representative reference radiograph.7.9.1 When the e
47、xposing radiation source has been placed perpendicular to the length of the gas hole, evaluate the productionradiograph with a shrinkage reference radiograph.7.9.2 When the exposing radiation source has been placed diametrically or “into” the diameter of the gas hole, evaluate theproduction radiogra
48、ph with a gas reference radiograph.7.10 A diffraction mottling pattern can occur on films of parts and sections where the grain size is large enough to be anappreciable fraction of the material thickness (see Note 3). If diffraction mottling is suspected, there are a number of ways todemonstrate its
49、 presence. The diffraction mottling pattern shown in these cases is dependent principally upon the crystal geometryand the orientation of the crystals to the incident radiation. Therefore, for a given specimen, any change in this orientation willaffect the diffraction pattern dramatically. This can be accomplished by a slight, 1 to 5 tilt of the part, with respect to the radiationbeam or simply by shifting the center line of the radiation beam to a slightly different location from the first exposure.
