Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Definitions for many terms common to iron castingsand their heat treatment are found in Terminology A 919 andTerminology A 644. A classification of graphite structure isfound in Test Method A 247.4. Ordering Informatio
17、n4.1 The purchase order for castings ordered under thisspecification shall stipulate the applicable material specifica-tion(s), grade of iron, and any options or additions to the basicrequirements, including the supplementary requirements in-cluded in this specification.5. Tensile Requirements5.1 Th
18、e individual product specifications vary as to whethertension tests are required. For this reason, and to determinespecific test requirements, the individual product specificationshall be reviewed. When required, tension tests shall bedetermined in accordance with Test Methods E8.6. Chemical Require
19、ments6.1 The individual product specifications vary as to whetherchemical analysis is required. To determine specific require-ments, the individual product specification should be reviewed.6.2 Sampling shall be conducted in accordance with TestMethod E59. Spectrographic or other methods such as thos
20、e inTest Methods E 30 and E 351 may be used for chemicalanalysis. In the event of a dispute regarding chemical compo-sition, Test Methods E 351 and E 30 shall be used for refereepurposes.6.3 The chemical analysis for total carbon shall be made onchilled pencil-type specimens or from thin wafers appr
21、oxi-mately132 in. (0.8 mm) thick cut from test coupons. Drillingsare not reliable because of a probable loss of graphite.6.4 Chemical analysis results shall be rounded, in accor-dance with Practice E29, to the nearest unit in the lastright-hand place of values in the table of chemical require-ments.
22、6.5 A product analysis may be made by the purchaser frommaterial representing each heat, lot, or casting. The analysisshall be made on representative material. Samples for carbonanalysis shall be taken no closer than in. to a cast surface,and shall follow the practice in 5.3, except where the size o
23、rshape of the casting does not permit such sampling. Thechemical composition thus determined shall meet the require-ments specified in the applicable specification for the gradeinvolved.7. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance7.1 All castings shall be made in a workman-like mannerand shall conform to
24、the dimensions on drawings furnished bythe purchaser before manufacture is started. If the pattern issupplied by the purchaser, the dimensions of the casting shallbe as predicted by the pattern.8. Sampling8.1 A lot shall consist of one of the following:8.1.1 All the metal from a single heating in a
25、batchtypemelting furnace.8.1.2 All the metal poured from two or more batchtypemelting furnaces into a single ladle or a single casting.8.1.3 All the metal poured from a continuous meltingfurnace for a given period of time between changes in charge,processing conditions, or aim-for chemistry, or 4 h,
26、 whicheveris the shorter period.8.1.3.1 The purchaser may agree to extend the 4-h timeperiod to8hifthemanufacturer can demonstrate sufficientprocess control to warrant such an extension.9. Inspection9.1 All tests and inspections required by this specificationshall be performed by the manufacturer or
27、 other reliablesources whose services have been contracted for by themanufacturer. Complete records of all tests and inspectionsshall be maintained by the manufacturer and shall be availablefor review by the purchaser.9.2 The manufacturer shall afford the purchasers inspectorall reasonable facilitie
28、s necessary to satisfy that the material isbeing produced and furnished in accordance with the appli-cable specification. Foundry inspection by the purchaser shallnot interfere unnecessarily with the manufacturers operations.9.3 When agreed upon between manufacturer and pur-chaser, test specimens or
29、 unbroken test bars from the same lotshall be saved for a period of 3 months after date of the testreport.9.4 When unbroken test bars are reprocessed with castingsfor rehearing, test specimens from these bars shall be saved, asdescribed in 9.3.9.5 The purchaser reserves the right to perform any insp
30、ec-tions set forth in the specification where such inspections aredeemed necessary to assure that supplies and services conformto the prescribed requirements.10. Repair10.1 Any repair shall be made in accordance with therequirements of the individual specification using proceduresqualified by the ma
31、nufacturer for the type of repair involved.5Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk, DODSSP, Bldg. 4,Section D, 700 Robbins Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111-5098, http:/www.dodssp.daps.mil.A 834 95 (2006)211. Rejection and Rehearing11.1 Castings which fail to conform to the requirementsspeci
32、fied when inspected or tested by the purchaser or his agentmay be rejected. Rejection shall be reported to the manufac-turer or supplier promptly and in writing. In case of dissatis-faction with the test results, the manufacturer or supplier maymake claim for a rehearing.12. Packaging and Package Ma
33、rking12.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchaseorder, cleaning, preservation, and packaging of castings shallbe in accordance with the manufacturers commercial practice.Packing and marking shall also be adequate to identify thecontents and to ensure acceptance and safe delivery by t
34、hecarrier for the mode of transportation employed.12.2 Government ProcurementWhen specified in the con-tract or purchase order, marking for shipment shall be inaccordance with the requirements of Fed. Std. No. 123 for civilagencies and MIL-STD-129 for military activities.13. Quality Assurance13.1 Th
35、e surface of the casting shall be free of adheringsand, scale, cracks, and hot tears as determined by visualexamination. Other surface discontinuities shall meet the visualacceptance standards specified in the order. Visual PracticeA 802/A 802M or other visual standards may be used to defineacceptab
36、le surface discontinuities and finish. Unacceptablevisual surface discontinuities shall be removed and theirremoval verified by visual examination of the resultant cavi-ties.13.2 When additional inspection is desired, SupplementaryRequirements S1, S2, or S3 may be specified.14.
