31、 in accordance with ASTM E 1742, unless otherwise specified by purchaser. 3.7.4 When specified by purchaser, castings shall be fluorescent penetrant inspected using a method specified by the purchaser, or, if not specified, a method in accordance with ASTM E 1417. 3.7.5 Castings shall not be peened,
32、 plugged, impregnated, or welded unless authorized by purchaser. 3.7.5.1 When authorized by purchaser, welding in accordance with AMS 2694 or other welding program approved by the purchaser may be used. 4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS: 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection: The vendor of castings shall
33、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 the castings conform to specified requirements. 4.2 Classification of Tests: 4.2.1 A

42、r the process control factors which will produce acceptable castings; these shall constitute the approved casting procedure and shall be used for producing production castings. Vendor shall also establish a single procedure for production of separately-cast tensile specimens. Method for production o
