This control shall consist of radiographic examination of castings in accordance with ASTM E 1742 until proper foundry technique
25、, which will produce castings free from harmful internal imperfections, is established for each part number and of 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 AST

29、.1), and quality (3.6) are acceptance tests and shall be performed to represent each melt or lot as applicable. 4.2.1.1 Tensile properties of specimens cut from castings shall be determined only when specified by purchaser or when separately-cast coupons are not available. Tensile properties of sepa
30、rately-cast coupons need not be determined when tensile properties of specimens cut from castings are determined. 4.2.2 Preproduction 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 i
31、n material 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 One chemical analysis specimen in accordance with 3.4.1 from each melt or a casting from each lot. 4.
32、3.2 Two separately-cast tensile specimens in accordance with 3.4.2 from each lot except when properties of specimens cut from castings are required. 4.3.3 Sufficient castings of each part number in accordance with 4.4.1 as required to satisfy dimensional, mechanical property, and quality evaluation.
