4、re-ment S1 of Specification A456 64 (1970).1.3 This specification is not intended to cover continuousgrain flow crankshafts (see Specification A983/A983M);however, Specification A986/A986M may be used for thispurpose.NOTE 1Specification A668/A668M is a product specification whichmay be used for slab
5、-forged crankshaft forgings that are usually twisted inorder to set the crankpin angles, or for barrel forged crankshafts where thecrankpins are machined in the appropriate configuration from a cylindricalforging.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separate
6、ly as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 Unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specifica-tion designati

All dimples shall have abottom radius of approximately three times the dimple depthand should be smoothly blended to the surface area with afinish equal to the adjacent bearing su
45、rface.8.2 To depress is to flatten or relieve the edges of anindication with a fine pointed abrasive stone with the restrictionthat the depth beneath the original surface shall be 0.002 in.0.05 mm minimum to 0.010 in. 0.25 mm maximum and thatthe depressions be blended into the bearing surface. A de-
46、pressed area is not considered a dimple and is made only toprevent galling of the bearings.9.
