1、Designation: E 125 63 (Reapproved 2008)Standard Reference Photographs forMagnetic Particle Indications on Ferrous Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 125; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, t
2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense. These Reference Radiographs have been
3、 approvedto replace MIL-M-11473 (ORD). These Reference Photographs2have been reproduced through the courtesy of the Steel FoundersSociety from photographs obtained from its member companies.1. Scope1.1 This collection of reference photographs covers typesand degrees of discontinuities occurring in s
4、teel castings andother types of ferrous castings detectable by the dry powdermagnetic particle method.1.2 These reference photographs are intended to assist in theclassification of those discontinuities revealed in ferrous cast-ings subjected to magnetic particle examination.1.3 These reference phot
5、ographs are intended to be used forpurposes of comparison with the magnetic particle indicationsobserved on actual castings.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3E 709 Guide for Magnetic Particle Testing2.2 ASTM Adjuncts:Reference Photographs for Magnetic Particle Indications23. Identification3
6、.1 The types of discontinuities covered by the referencephotographs are listed and described in Table 1. Each type ofdiscontinuity is designated by Roman numerals I through VIIIas given in the table.3.2 The degrees of discontinuity severity, in increasingorder where applicable, are denoted by number
7、s 1 through 5.NOTE 1To avoid any misunderstanding, it should be pointed out thereis no correlation between degrees of the various defects. For instance,Degree 3 of Type I is not equivalent to Degree 3 of Type II.3.3 Each reference photograph is identified with the propernumber and letter designation
8、.4. Preparation4.1 The reference photographs represent magnetic particleindications as found on production steel castings. They repre-sent the actual size of the indications and the procedurefollowed was in accordance with Guide E 709. The peakmagnetizing current employed was from 600 to 800Aand pro
9、dspacing from 4 to 10 in.4.2 The white line indications as illustrated in most of thephotographs were obtained by painting the casting area with aslurry of lamp-black in kerosene, gasoline, or alcohol. A graymagnetic powder is then used. The result is a white indicationunder normal photographic meth
10、ods.4.3 The black line indications result from applying redmagnetic powder to the casting surface and photographing themagnetic particle indications.5. Basis for Use of Reference Photographs5.1 These reference photographs are intended for use whenthey are specified in the inquiry, contract, order, m
11、aterialspecifications, or applicable code, and when the limiting classof severity is mutually agreed upon by the manufacturer andthe purchaser. It is admitted that it is impossible to rigidlyinterpret magnetic particle indications on castings to a set ofphotographic references; consequently there is
12、 a need for closecooperation between the manufacturer and the purchaser.5.2 Unless otherwise specified all accessible surfaces of thecasting shall be examined. On many castings, however, onlycertain areas are sufficiently critical to justify this type ofexamination. In these cases the locations to b
13、e examined shallbe specifically agreed upon.5.3 The severity class and the number of castings madefrom the same pattern to be given magnetic particle examina-tion shall constitute a part of the inquiry, contract, or order, orshall be as specified in the material specification or applicablecode.5.4 T
14、he limiting size and shape of the unit area to beexamined shall be established by the applicable code or bymutual agreement of the manufacturer and the purchaser.When more than one type of discontinuity appears in thespecified area, agreement on this situation should be estab-lished.1These reference
