17、-chromium-nickel alloy castings that have compositions balanced to create the formation of ferrite as a second phase in amounts controlled within specified limits. Methods are described for estimating ferrite content by chemical, magnetic and metallographic means.2 Normative referencesThe following

21、ckel alloysNote 1 to entry: Ferrite includes both delta and alpha species.3.2ferrite contentproportion of total volume of an iron-chromium-nickel alloy present as the ferrite phase3.3ferrite percentageferrite content expressed as a volume percent4 Significance effects of ferrite contentThe tensile a
22、nd impact properties, the weldability, and the corrosion resistance of iron-chromium-nickel alloy castings may be influenced beneficially or detrimentally by the ratio of the amount of ferrite to the amount of austenite in the microstructure. The ferrite content may be limited by purchase order requ
23、irements or by the design construction codes governing the equipment in which castings will be used. The quantity of ferrite in the structure is fundamentally a function of the chemical composition of the alloy and its thermal history. Because of segregation, the chemical composition and, therefore,
24、 the ferrite content, may differ from point to point on a casting. Determination of the ferrite content by ISO 2015 All rights reserved 1BS ISO 13520:2015ISO 13520:2015(E)any of the procedures described in Clause 5 is subject to varying degrees of imprecision which shall be recognized in setting rea
25、listic limits on the range of ferrite content specified. Sources of error are described in 5.1 to 5.3.5 Methods of determination of ferrite content5.1 Chemical composition methodDeviations from the actual content of each element present in an alloy because of chemical analysis variance, although pos
26、sibly minor in each case, can result in substantial difference in the ratio of total ferrite-promoting to total austenite-promoting elements. Therefore the precision of the ferrite content estimated from chemical composition depends on the accuracy of the chemical analysis procedure.The estimation o
27、f ferrite percent by means of the chemical composition offers the most useful and most common method of ferrite control during melting of the metal.5.2 Magnetic response methodPhases other than ferrite and austenite may be formed at certain temperatures and persist at room temperature. Contamination
28、 from other ferromagnetic materials may also occur. These may so alter the magnetic response of the alloy that the indicated ferrite content is quite different from that of the same chemical composition that has undergone different thermal treatment. Also, because the magnets or probes of the variou
29、s measuring instruments are small, different degrees of surface roughness or surface curvature will vary the magnetic linkage with the material being measured.5.3 Metallographic examinationMetallographic point count estimates of ferrite percentage may vary with the etching technique used for the ide
30、ntification of the ferrite phase and with the number of grid points chosen for examination, see A.2.For most accurate local estimate of ferrite percent, a quantitative metallographic method shall be used.6 Ordering informationOrders for material to this practice shall include the following as requir
31、ed.a) Applicable ISO product specification or other document covering product requirements.b) Alloy grade.c) Required ferrite range, in volume percent, of the casting after final heat treatment.d) Supplementary requirements, if any, desired.e) The method to be used for the determination of the ferri

35、ith the Schoefer diagram (see Figure B.1). For further information, see Annex B.If agreed at the time of ordering, the estimation can be carried out using an equivalent diagram as described in BNIF 3451)which allows ferrite evaluation (from 0 % to 30 %) in austenitic steel castings.8.1.1 The chemica

44、stimation of ferrite content by measurement of magnetic responseA.1.1 GeneralThe ferrite content of the heat from which the castings are produced shall be estimated from measurements made by primary or secondary instruments, which have been properly calibrated for ferrite in castings (see ASTM A799

All measurements shall be made on material after the solution heat treatment required by the applicable product specification, or, if any subsequent solution heat treatment is employed, then after the final solution heat treatment.A.1.1.1 Measurements shall be made on the unstrained en
46、ds of tensile test specimens from the same heat as the castings represented. Measurements may be made either before or after performance of the tensile test. If a tensile test is not required by the applicable product specification, measurements may be made on a specimen cut from a test block as des
47、cribed in ISO 4990.A.1.1.2 Alternatively when specified, measurements shall be made on the base metal of the castings, in locations (not on weld deposits) designated on the design drawing or as otherwise agreed in writing between the purchaser and the manufacturer.A.1.2 Surface conditionA.1.2.1 The
