20、n, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. DIN EN 1370:2012-03 EN 1370:2011 (E) 4 Introduction The surface roughness of a casting is influenced by the manufacturing process (moulding, grinding, finishing, etc.), the moulding materials used (sand, coating, etc.), the production equipment available and th
21、e alloy cast. Depending on the applications of the casting, the surface requirements are related to mechanical loadings, appearance, surface treatment, etc. Since cast surfaces do not exhibit the same cyclic character as machined surfaces it is difficult to evaluate their roughness using conventiona
22、l mechanical, optical, or pneumatic devices. Other optical/electronic means are now available for measuring surface roughness of cast 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 surfac
23、es or other means of finishing of castings, comparators should have relatively large dimensions1)in order to make them more reliable and their results repeatable and consistent. Two sets of comparators are in widespread use: “BNIF 359 Recommandation technique du Bureau de Normalisation des Industrie
24、s de la Fonderie. Caractrisation dtats de surface des pices moules - Utilisation des chantillons types de 110 160 mm“, available from Editions Techniques des Industries de la Fonderie, 44 avenue de la Division Leclerc, 92310 Svres, France 1; “SCRATA comparators for the definition of surface quality
25、of steel and iron castings“, ASTM A 802 Shorter Set, available from Castings Technology International, Advanced Manufacturing Park, Brunel Way, Rotherham, S60 5WG, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom 2. A third set of comparators, for precision steel castings, is also available: “SCRATA surface comparat
26、ors for the definition of surface texture of precision steel castings”, precision set, available from Castings Technology International, Advanced Manufacturing Park, Brunel Way, Rotherham, S60 5WG, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom 3. This European Standard also specifies 8 levels of surface imperfect
27、ions based on maximum dimensions to be detected by visual examination. The SCRATA comparators shorter set 2, can also be used for the 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; 1
28、10 mm 160 mm for BNIF comparators. DIN EN 1370:2012-03 EN 1370:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for the examination of surface condition (roughness and surface discontinuities) of castings. This European Standard is applicable to all cast metals and all casting processes e
29、xcept 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 evaluation of the overall roughn
30、ess 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 manufacturer and the purchaser. An over
31、view 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 category and severity level required
32、. 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 indicated on the drawing; number
33、 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 are described in EN 13018 5. The
34、 examination shall be performed by trained personnel with satisfactory visual acuity. DIN EN 1370:2012-03 EN 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 cas
35、tings to be checked. These conditions shall be subject of an agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser by the time of ordering. This information enables the manufacturer to assess the additional inspections and operations involved. Table 1 BNIF and SCRATA surface roughness and dressing co

40、ids, 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 conditions of lighting. NOTE When the surface to be checked
41、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, the roughness corresponds to that of the comparator or, if it
42、 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 purchaser by the time of ordering. The following shall be agree
43、d: method to be used; area(s) to be examined; scanning dimensions; surface profile parameters to be measured; required values (minimum, maximum) for these parameters. DIN EN 1370:2012-03 EN 1370:2011 (E) 8 3.3 Visual examination of surface discontinuities 3.3.1 General The area to be considered shal
44、l be examined without optical aids and it is essential to use sufficient lighting. 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
45、 welding. The surface to be inspected shall be clean, free from rust, sand, 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 s
46、urface discontinuities by dimensions are specified. It can be used for as-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. Figure
