1、Designation: E155 14E155 15Standard Reference Radiographs forInspection of Aluminum and Magnesium Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E155; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r
2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.These Reference Radiographs have been developed in cooperation with the Quality Control Committee and Aerospace Research andTesting Comm
3、ittee of the Aerospace Industries Association.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These reference radiographs illustrate the types and degrees of discontinuities that may be found in aluminum-alloy andmagnesium-alloy castings. The casting
4、s illustrated are in thicknesses of 14 in. (6.35 mm) and 34 in. (19.1 mm). The referenceradiograph films are an adjunct to this document and must be purchased separately from ASTM International if needed.1.2 These film reference radiographs are not intended to illustrate the types and degrees of dis
5、continuities found inaluminum-alloy and magnesium-alloy castings when performing digital radiography. If performing digital radiography ofaluminum-alloy castings, refer to Digital Reference Image Standard E2422. If performing digital radiography of magnesium-alloycastings, refer to Digital Reference
6、 Image Standard E2869.1.3 This document may be used where no other applicable document exists, for other material thicknesses for which it has beenfound to be applicable and for which agreement has been reached between the purchaser and the manufacturer.1.4 From time to time, there may be minor chan
7、ges to the process for manufacturing of the reference radiograph adjunctmaterials. These changes could include changes in the films or processing chemicals used, changes in the dies or printing for thecardboard mats, etc.; however, in all cases, these changes are reviewed by the Illustration Monitor
8、ing Subcommittee and allreference radiographs are reviewed against a fixed prototype image to ensure that there are no changes to the acceptance levelrepresented by the reference radiographs. Therefore, the adjunct reference radiographs remain valid for use with this standardregardless of the date o
9、f production or the revision level of the text standard.1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.6 This standard does
10、not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.NOTE 1Vol I: The set of reference radiog
11、raphs consists of 13 plates covering discontinuities in aluminum-alloy castings and 10 plates coveringdiscontinuities in magnesium-alloy castings. Each plate is held in an 812 by 11-in. (216 by 279-mm) cardboard frame and each plate illustrates eightgrades of severity for the discontinuity in approx
12、imately a 2 by 2-in. (51 by 51-mm) area. The cardboard frames are contained in a 1012 by 1112-in. (267by 292-mm) ring binder. The reference radiographs are not impacted by this revision. There have been no revisions to the adjunct reference radiographssince original issue. The adjunct reference radi
13、ographs of any issue remain valid and may be used to this standard.Vol. II: The set of reference radiographs consists of four plates covering discontinuities in magnesium-alloy castings only. Each plate is held in an 812by 11-in. (216 by 279-mm) cardboard frame and illustrates eight grades of severi
14、ty for the discontinuity (with the exception of discrete discontinuities,where only one example of each discontinuity is given).NOTE 2Reference radiographs applicable to aluminum and magnesium die castings up to 1 in.

21、ons of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 The terms relating to discontinuities used in these reference radiographs are described based upon radiographicappearance.3.2.2 foreign materialsappear as isolated, irregular, or elongated variations of film density, not corresponding to variations inthic
22、kness of material, nor to cavities. They may be due to the presence of sand, slag, oxide or dross, or metal of different density.3.2.3 gas holesappear as round or elongated, smooth-edged dark spots, occurring individually, in clusters, or distributedthroughout the casting.3.2.4 gas porosityrepresent
23、ed by round or elongated dark spots corresponding to minute voids usually distributed through theentire casting.3.2.5 microshrinkage (feathery type)microshrinkage having an elongated appearance resembling feather-like streaks.3.2.6 microshrinkage (sponge type)microshrinkage having a spongelike appea
24、rance, and more massive and equiaxed than thefeathery type.3.2.7 reacted sand inclusionsappear on radiograph as “spotty segregation,” that is, sharply defined round light areas, about1 mm in diameter, and often with the rim lighter than the center. They are entrapped sand particles that underwent re
25、action withmolten magnesium alloys containing zirconium (Note 3).3.2.8 segregationsappear as variations in film density which can be explained by segregation of elements of atomic numbersdifferent from that of the matrix.3.2.8.1 gravity segregationappears white on radiograph and may range from a mot
26、tling-type effect through white-diffusedspots blending with the matrix, to a cloud-like appearance in more severe cases. They are agglomerations of particles precipitatedat temperatures above liquidus (Note 3).3.2.8.2 eutectic segregationtype of segregation is generally represented when a defect or
27、discontinuity develops duringsolidification and is fed with a near eutectic residual liquid rich with alloying elements that have a high X-ray attenuation.

Significance and Use4.1 These radiographs are intended for reference only but are so designed that acceptance standards, wh
43、ich may be developedfor particular requirements, can be specified in terms of these radiographs. The illustrations are radiographs of castings that wereproduced under conditions designed to develop the discontinuities. The radiographs of the 14-in. (6.35-mm) castings are intendedto be used in the th
44、ickness range up to and including 12 in. (12.7 mm). The radiographs of the 34-in. (19.1-mm) castings areintended to be used in the thickness range of over 12 in. to and including 2 in. (51 mm). The grouping and system of designationsare based on considerations of the best practical means of making t
45、hese reference radiographs of the greatest possible value.4.2 Film DeteriorationRadiographic films are subject to wear and tear from handling and use. The extent to which the imagedeteriorates over time is a function of storage conditions, care in handling and amount of use. Reference radiograph fil
46、ms are noexception and may exhibit a loss in image quality over time. The radiographs should therefore be periodically examined for signsof wear and tear, including scratches, abrasions, stains, and so forth.Any reference radiographs which show signs of excessive wearand tear which could influence t
47、he interpretation and use of the radiographs should be replaced.5. Basis for Application5.1 The reference radiographs may be applied as acceptance standards tailored to the end use of the product. Application ofthese reference radiographs as acceptance standards should be based on the intended use o
48、f the product and the followingconsiderations (see Note 4).5.1.1 Compare the production radiographs of the casting submitted for evaluation with the reference radiographs applicable todesignated wall thickness in accordance with the written acceptance criteria.5.1.2 An area of like size to that of t
49、he reference radiograph shall be the unit area by which the production radiograph isevaluated, and any such area shall meet the requirements as defined for acceptability.5.1.3 Any combination or portion of these reference radiographs may be used as is relevant to the particular application.Different grades or acceptance limits may be specified for each discontinuity type. Furthermore, different grades may be specifiedfor different regions or zones of a component.5.1.4 Special considerations may be required where more than one discontinuity
