23、, shall be uniform in quality and condition, sound, and free from foreign materials and from imperfections detrimental to usage of the castings. 3.6.1 Castings shall have smooth surfaces and shall be cleaned sufficiently to permit nondestructive inspection. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4855G Page 3 of 6_ 3.
24、6.2 Castings shall be produced under radiographic control. This control shall consist of radiographic examination of castings in accordance with ASTM E 1742 until proper foundry technique, which will produce castings free from harmful internal imperfections, is established for each part number and o
25、f production castings as necessary to ensure maintenance of satisfactory quality. 3.6.3 When specified, castings shall be subjected to fluorescent penetrant testing in accordance with ASTM E 1417. 3.6.4 Radiographic, fluorescent penetrant, and other quality standards may be agreed upon by purchaser
26、and vendor. 3.6.5 Castings shall not be reworked by peening, plugging, welding, or other methods without written permission from purchaser. 3.6.5.1 When permitted in writing by purchaser, defects in castings may be removed and the castings reworked by welding in accordance with AMS2694. 4. QUALITY A
27、SSURANCE PROVISIONS 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection The vendor of castings shall supply 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 t
28、he castings conform to the specified requirements. 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptance Tests Except as specified in 4.2.1.1, composition (3.1), tensile properties (3.5.1), and quality (3.6) are acceptance tests and shall be performed on each melt or lot as applicable. 4.2.1.1 Tensile proper
29、ties of specimens cut from castings shall be determined only when specified by purchaser or when separately-cast coupons are not available. Tensile properties of separately-cast coupons need not be determined when tensile properties of specimens cut from castings are determined. 4.2.2 Preproduction
30、Tests All technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed prior to or on the first-article shipment of a casting to a purchaser, when a change in material and/ or processing requires reapproval as in 4.4.2, and when purchaser deems confirmatory testing to be required. 4.3 Sampl
31、ing and Testing Shall be in accordance with the following: 4.3.1 One chemical analysis specimen in accordance with 3.4.1 from each melt or a casting from each lot. 4.3.2 Two separately-cast tensile specimens in accordance with 3.4.2 representing each lot except when properties of specimens cut from
32、castings are required. 4.3.3 Sufficient preproduction castings of each part number in accordance with 4.4.1 as required to satisfy dimensional, mechanical property, and quality evaluations. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4855G Page 4 of 6_ 4.3.4 One or more castings from each lot when properties of specimens
33、machined from castings are required. Specimens shall conform to ASTM E 8/E 8M and shall be either 0.500 inch (12.70 mm) in diameter at the reduced parallel gage section, subsize specimens proportional to the standard, or standard sheet-type specimens. For determining conformance to the requirements
34、of 3.5.1, if specimen locations are not shown on the drawing, not less than two tensile specimens, one from the thickest section and one from the thinnest section, shall be cut from a casting or castings from each lot. 4.4 Approval 4.4.1 Sample castings from new or reworked master patterns or molds
35、and the casting procedure 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 ac
36、ceptable castings; these shall constitute the approved casting procedure and shall be used for producing production castings. 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
37、requested, test specimens, sample castings, 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 castings include, but are not limited to, the following: Type of furnace Furnace atmosphere Fluxing
38、 or deoxidation procedure Gating and risering practices Metal pouring temperature; variation of 50 F (28 C) is permissible Mold set-up, parting agent, and rotational speed for centrifugal castings Solidification and cooling procedures Cleaning operations Methods of inspection 4.4.2.1.1 Any of the ab
39、ove process control factors for which parameters are considered proprietary by the vendor may be assigned a code designation. Each variation 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 resu
40、lts of tests for chemical composition of at least one casting or of separately-cast specimens from each melt, the results of tests for tensile properties of separately-cast coupons representing each lot or of specimens cut from castings from each lot, and stating that the castings conform to the oth
41、er technical requirements. This report shall include the purchase order number, lot number, AMS4855G, part number, and quantity. 4.6 Resampling and Retesting If any specimen used in the above tests fails to meet the specified requirements, disposition of the castings may be based on the results of t
42、esting 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. 5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY 5.1 Identification Shall be in acc
43、ordance with AMS2804. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4855G Page 5 of 6_ 5.2 Packaging Castings shall be prepared for shipment in accordance with commercial practice and in compliance with applicable rules and regulations pertaining to the handling, packaging, and transportation of the castings to ensure carri
44、er acceptance and safe delivery. 6. ACKNOWLEDGMENT A vendor shall mention this specification number and its revision letter in all quotations and when acknowledging purchase orders. 7.
