27、diographic indications of gas holes, sand spots, and inclusions shall be cause for rejection when closer to the edge than twice their maximum dimension. 3.7.2 Methods of inspection and frequency of inspection shall be as agreed upon by purchaser and vendor. A “Casting Class“ of AMS2175 may be select
28、ed to specify the method and frequency of inspection. 3.7.3 Castings shall be produced under radiographic control. This control shall consist of 100% radiographic inspection of castings until process control factors (see 4.4.2) have been established to ensure production of acceptable castings. Unles
29、s otherwise specified by purchaser, continued radiographic inspection of production castings shall be performed at a frequency determined by the vendor to ensure continued maintenance of internal quality. 3.7.4 Radiographic inspection shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM E1742/E1742M, unless o
30、therwise specified by purchaser. 3.7.5 When specified by purchaser, castings shall be fluorescent penetrant inspected using a method specified by purchaser, or, if not specified, a method in accordance with ASTM E1417/E1417M. 3.7.6 Castings shall not be peened, plugged, impregnated, or welded unless
31、 authorized by purchaser. 3.7.6.1 When authorized by purchaser, welding in accordance with AMS2694 or other welding program approved by purchaser may be used. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4285 F Page 5 of 8 4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The vendor of castings shall supply
32、 all samples for vendors tests and shall be responsible for the performance of all required tests. Purchaser reserves the right to sample and to perform any confirmatory testing deemed necessary to ensure that the castings conform to specified requirements. 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptan
33、ce Tests Except as specified in 4.2.1.1, composition (3.1), tensile properties of separately-cast specimens (3.6.1.1), and quality (3.7) are acceptance tests and shall be performed to represent each melt or heat treat lot as applicable. 4.2.1.1 Tensile properties of specimens cut from castings shall
34、 be determined when specified by purchaser or when separately-cast specimens are not available. Tensile properties of separately-cast specimens need not be determined when tensile properties of specimens cut from castings are determined. 4.2.2 Periodic Tests Radiographic inspection (3.7.3) following
35、 the establishment of process control (4.4.2) is a periodic test and shall be performed at a frequency selected by the vendor unless frequency of testing is specified by purchaser. 4.2.3 Preproduction Tests All technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed on the first-articl
36、e shipment of a casting to a purchaser, when a change in materials, and/or processing requires reapproval as in 4.4.2, and when purchaser deems confirmatory testing to be required. 4.3 Sampling and Testing Shall be in accordance with the following: 4.3.1 At least one chemical analysis specimen in ac
37、cordance with 3.4.1 from each melt for conformance to 3.1. 4.3.2 One or more separately-cast tensile specimens in accordance with 3.4.2 from each heat treat lot except when purchaser specifies specimens cut from a casting as in 4.3.4. 4.3.3 One or more preproduction castings in accordance with 4.4.1
38、 of each part number. 4.3.4 One or more castings from each heat treat lot when properties are required from specimens cut from castings. For determining conformance to the requirements of 3.6.1.2, if specimen locations are not shown on the drawing, two specimens from the thickest section and two spe
39、cimens from the thinnest section, shall be cut from a casting or castings from each heat treat lot. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4285 F Page 6 of 8 4.4 Approval 4.4.1 Sample castings from new or reworked tooling (i.e., patterns, molds, dies, etc.) and the casting procedure and sample castings, when specifie
40、d, shall be approved by purchaser before castings for production use are supplied, unless such approval be waived by purchaser. 4.4.2 Vendor shall establish, for production of sample castings of each part number, parameters for the process control factors which will produce acceptable castings; thes
41、e shall constitute the approved casting procedure and shall be used for producing production castings. Vendor shall also establish control factors for producing separately cast tensile specimens, but these control factors need not be identical to those used for production of castings. Method for pro
42、duction of separately-cast tensile specimens shall be consistent for all cast material. If necessary to make any change in parameters for the process control factors, vendor shall submit for reapproval a statement of the proposed changes in processing and, when requested, test specimens, sample cast
43、ings, or both. Production castings incorporating the revised operations shall not be shipped prior to receipt of reapproval. 4.4.2.1 Control factors for producing tensile specimens and castings include, but are not limited to, the following. Suppliers procedures shall identify tolerances, ranges, an
44、d/or control limits, as applicable. Control factors for separately-cast tensile specimens must generally represent, but need not be identical to, those factors used for castings: Type of furnace Furnace atmosphere Alloy additions, fluxing, deoxidation, and gas removal procedures Gating and risering
45、practices Mold composition and molding practice Mold setup Mold rotational speed Core composition and fabrication method, when applicable Metal pouring temperature; variation of 50 F (28 C) from the established limit is permissible Solidification and cooling procedures Stabilization/precipitation he
46、at treat cycle Straightening procedure, when applicable Cleaning operations Methods of inspection Radiographic inspection sampling plan, if used 4.4.2.1.1 Any of the above process control factors for which parameters are considered proprietary by the vendor may be assigned a code designation. Each v
47、ariation in such parameters shall be assigned a modified code designation. 4.5 Reports The vendor of castings shall furnish with each shipment a report showing the results of tests for composition of each melt and the results of tests for tensile properties of separately-cast specimens representing
48、each heat treat lot or of specimens cut from a casting from each heat treat lot, and stating that the castings conform to the other technical requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, melt and heat treat lot numbers, AMS4285F, part number, and quantity. 4.6 Resampling and Re
49、testing If any specimen used in the above tests fails to meet specified requirements, disposition of the castings may be based on the results of testing two additional specimens for each original nonconforming specimen. Failure of any retest specimen to meet the specified requirements shall be cause for rejection of the castings represented. Results of all tests shall be reported.
