Terminology3.1 Definitions for many terms common to iron castings arefound in Terminology A 644. A classification of graphitestructure is found in Test Method A 247.4. Classification4.1 Castings or
6、dered and produced under this specificationare classified into a number of grades based on the propertiesof separately cast test bars. The test bar shall be selected on thebasis of the controlling section size of the casting (see 9.1 and9.2 and Table 1).4.2 Castings may be produced in the as cast st
7、ate providedthe requirements of this standard in Table 1 are met. However,annealing or normalizing heat treatments are usual and cus-tomary and are a basis for classification.4.3 The grades are designated A for annealed or N fornormalized. This is followed by an S oraCtodesignate a solidor a cored c
8、asting, followed by an A, B, C, or S to designate thetest bar to be poured with the castings.

As areference, typical compositions covering all grades are shownin Table X1.1 in Appendix X1.6.2 By agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser,chemical composition requirements may be specified.7. Heat Treatment7.1 Although castings may be provided in the as castcondition, when neces
17、sary, heat treatment shall be such as toproduce the mechanical properties required in this standard.8. Tensile Requirements8.1 Test bars representing castings conforming to this speci-fication shall meet the requirements for tensile strength de-scribed in Table 1.9. Cast Test Bars9.1 Test bars shall
18、 be separate castings poured from thesame iron as the castings they represent and shall havedimensions as shown in Table 2. Allowance may be made forreasonable pattern draft within the tolerances shown in Table 2.Test bars A, B, and C are all standard test bars in the form ofsimple cylinders. Test b
19、ar S is special and is intended for usewhere the controlling section of the casting is over 2 in.9.2 The test bar selected shall be based on the controllingsection size of the casting. This shall be determined by thedimensions of the largest cylinder that will fit into the control-ling section of th
20、e casting with the additional requirement thatthe height of the cylinder must be at least equal to its diameter.9.3 The test bars shall be cast in a permanent mold. Themold shall be of similar material, design, and construction asthat used to make the production castings. The test barpermanent mold
21、shall be preheated with three consecutivepours, after which, starting with the fourth pour, the bars can beused for the tension test. A suitable design for a mold is shownin Fig. 1.9.4 By specific agreement between the manufacturer and thepurchaser, test bars removed from the castings may be substi-
22、tuted for separately cast test bars. The location from which thebars are taken shall be as agreed between the parties andindicated on the casting drawing or data base equivalent.TABLE 2 Diameters and Lengths of Cast Test BarsTestBarAs-Cast Diameter, in.

28、095 F (1035 C).11. Dimensional Requirements11.1 The castings shall conform to the dimensions ordrawings furnished by the purchaser, or, if there are nodrawings, to the dimensions predicted by the pattern equipmentsupplied by the purchaser.12. Workmanship and Finish12.1 The surface of the casting sha
29、ll be inspected visually,particularly in critical areas, for such surface defects as cracks,hot tears, adhering sand and scale, cold shuts, and gas holes.12.2 No repairing by plugging or welding of any kind shallbe permitted unless written permission is granted by thepurchaser.13. Number of Tests an
30、d Retests13.1 The manufacturer shall cast and prepare at least threetest bars for each lot of castings intended to conform to thisspecification. The manufacturer shall conduct the specifiedtests unless the manufacturer and purchaser agree that the testsshall be made by another qualified laboratory.
31、Only one barneed be tested if the results conform to the property require-ments of this specification. If any test specimen shows defec-tive or improper machining, or obvious lack of continuity ofmetal, it may be discarded and replaced by another specimenfrom another test bar from the same lot.13.2
32、If after testing, a test specimen shows evidence of adefect, the results of the test may be invalidated and anothermade on a specimen from the same lot.13.3 If the results of a valid test fail to conform to therequirements of this specification, two retests shall be made. Ifeither retest fails to me
33、et the specification requirements, thecastings represented by these test specimens shall be rejected.A valid test is one wherein the specimen has been properlyprepared and appears to be sound and on which the approvedtest procedure has been followed.13.4 If sufficient separately cast test pieces are
34、 not available,the manufacturer shall have the option of removing a testspecimen from a location of representative casting, as agreedupon between the manufacturer and purchaser.13.5 If the first test results indicate that a heat treatment oran additional heat treatment is needed to meet the testrequ
35、irements, the entire lot of castings and the representativetest specimens shall be heat treated or reheat treated together.Testing shall proceed in accordance with 13.1,13.2,13.3, and13.4 .14.
