20、enced by the manufacturing process (moulding, grinding, finishing, etc.), the moulding materials used (sand, coating, etc.), the production equipment available and the alloy cast. Depending on the applications of the casting, the surface requirements are related to mechanical loadings, appearance, s
21、urface treatment, etc. Since cast surfaces do not exhibit the same cyclic character as machined surfaces it is difficult to evaluate their roughness using conventional mechanical, optical, or pneumatic devices. Other optical/electronic means are now available for measuring surface roughness of cast
22、surfaces. For the ease of use, visual tactile comparators are preferred. Moreover, in order to take into account the irregularities on as-cast surfaces, ground surfaces or other means of finishing of castings, comparators should have relatively large dimensions1)in order to make them more reliable a
23、nd their results repeatable and consistent. Two sets of comparators are in widespread use: “BNIF 359 Recommandation technique du Bureau de Normalisation des Industries de la Fonderie. Caractrisation dtats de surface des pices moules - Utilisation des chantillons types de 110 160 mm“, available from

25、unel Way, Rotherham, S60 5WG, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom 2. A third set of comparators, for precision steel castings, is also available: “SCRATA surface comparators for the definition of surface texture of precision steel castings”, precision set, available from Castings Technology Internationa
26、l, Advanced Manufacturing Park, Brunel Way, Rotherham, S60 5WG, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom 3. This European Standard also specifies 8 levels of surface imperfections based on maximum dimensions to be detected by visual examination. The SCRATA comparators shorter set 2, can also be used for the
27、classification of surface discontinuities on steel and iron castings. BNIF N359 comparators can be used for all cast metals. 1)100 mm 150 mm for SCRATA comparators; 110 mm 160 mm for BNIF comparators.

This European Standard is applicable to all cast met
29、als and all casting processes except die casting. 2 Comparators The comparators are essentially positive replicas of actual casting surfaces: as-cast or after further fettling treatment such as shot blasted or ground. Full size photographs of the comparators can be used to assist in making a rapid e
30、valuation of the overall roughness of the comparators. These can give preliminary information for the appropriate selection of a moulding or finishing process. It is emphasized however that the comparators, and not the photographs, shall be used to form the basis of an agreement between the manufact
31、urer and the purchaser. An overview and a comparison of the different categories and levels of the three sets of comparators are given in Tables 1, 2 and 4. 3 Requirements 3.1 General When examination of surface conditions is required, the following shall be agreed by the time of ordering: the categ
32、ory and severity level required. More than one severity level can be specified for different surfaces of the same casting. This shall be clearly indicated on the drawing; any types of discontinuities which are unacceptable; the areas of the castings which are to be examined; these shall be clearly i
33、ndicated on the drawing; number of castings to be examined; the manufacturing stage at which surfaces are to be examined. NOTE 1 Guidelines for the specification of acceptance criteria for surface condition of iron castings are given in EN 1559-3 4. NOTE 2 General principles for visual examination a
34、re described in EN 13018 5. The examination shall be performed by trained personnel with satisfactory visual acuity.

35、11EN 1370:2011 (E) 6 3.2 Surface roughness examination 3.2.1 General The methods detailed in this European Standard shall only apply to the surfaces of castings and the percentage or number of castings to be checked. These conditions shall be subject of an agreement between the manufacturer and the
36、purchaser by the time of ordering. This information enables the manufacturer to assess the additional inspections and operations involved.

41、 indicated on the drawing shall be compared without optical aids, but with the appropriate visual tactile comparators of the category and level involved. Comparison between the appropriate comparator and the casting surface shall be made with the comparators held next to the casting under sufficient
42、 conditions of lighting. NOTE When the surface to be checked is significantly smaller than the surface of a comparator, an agreement on the method to be used should be made between the manufacturer and the purchaser. The outcome of the comparison is satisfactory if, in the area under consideration,
43、the roughness corresponds to that of the comparator or, if it is generally smoother. 3.2.3 Surface roughness examination by contact (stylus) instruments or non contact (optical) instruments If one of these methods is to be used, it shall be subject of an agreement between the manufacturer and the pu
44、rchaser by the time of ordering. The following shall be agreed: method to be used; area(s) to be examined; scanning dimensions; surface profile parameters to be measured; required values (minimum, maximum) for these parameters.

46、ighting. Surface discontinuities can be facing outwards or inwards. Discontinuities can be eliminated either by grinding down to minimum wall thickness as stated in the drawing, or, after approval by the customer, by finishing welding. The surface to be inspected shall be clean, free from rust, sand
47、, scale, moulding and mould coating residues, oil, grease or any other contaminant, which can interfere with a correct examination. 3.3.2 Classification of surface discontinuities by dimensions In Table 3 severity levels for surface discontinuities by dimensions are specified. It can be used for as-
48、cast, shot blasted, grinded or machined surfaces. The size of the discontinuities is characterized by the dimensions H and L (see Figure 1): Key L largest length; H largest depth or height perpendicular to the surface.
