EN 1559-4:2015 (E)BS EN 1559-4:2015Introduction In order to assist m
22、anufacturers and purchasers to prepare proper contractual arrangements and prevent misunderstandings, CEN/TC 190 “Foundry Technology“ approved the preparation of a series of standards covering technical delivery conditions. These have been prepared as separate parts. This European Standard covers th
23、e additional technical delivery conditions for aluminium alloy casting materials and has the same structure as EN 1559-1 “Founding - Technical conditions of delivery Part 1: General“. This European Standard cannot be used alone for compiling a specification for ordering and supplying aluminium alloy
24、 castings, but as a complement to EN 1559-1. The structure of this standard is as follows: clauses and sub clauses preceded by indicate no additional conditions to EN 1559-1; clauses and sub clauses marked with a single dot indicate that conditions shall be agreed at the time of enquiry and order; c
25、lauses and sub clauses marked with two dots indicate that conditions can be agreed at the time of enquiry and order (optional); clauses and sub clauses without a symbol are mandatory; clauses and sub clauses preceded by are supplementary to those in EN 1559-1; clauses and sub clauses preceded by com
26、pletely replace those in EN 1559-1. EN 1559-4:2015 (E)BS EN 1559-4:20151 Scope This European Standard specifies the additional technical delivery conditions for aluminium alloy castings unless other conditions have been agreed at the time of enquiry and order. This European Standard retains the same
27、 structure and numbering system as used in EN 1559-1 and repeats the numbering of clauses and sub-clauses even if nothing extra or different has been added. It also indicates items specific to aluminium alloy castings under existing or new headings. 2 Normative references The following documents, in
28、 whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1371-1, Founding Liquid penetra

30、For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1559-1, in the applicable material standard and the following apply. 3.1 excavation cavity produced by the removal of cast material prior to subsequent welding (or other finishing methods) EN 1559-4:2015 (E)BS EN 1559-4:20154 I
31、nformation to be supplied by the purchaser 4.1 Mandatory information 4.2 Optional information 4.3 Drawing, patterns and tools 4.4 Information on the mass 4.5 Preliminary sample 4.6 Initial sample If required, a minimum of two initial samples shall be supplied to the purchaser for approval. If these
32、initial samples are accepted, one shall be retained by the purchaser and one returned to the manufacturer marked as “approved“. Supplementary initial samples (one for metallurgical and the other for dimensional purposes) should be retained either by the manufacturer or by the purchaser. NOTE Testing
33、 of initial samples by the manufacturer can be agreed. 5 Designations 6 Manufacture 6.1 Manufacturing process 6.2 Welding operations 6.2.1 General 6.2.2 Production welding Production welding is permitted, unless otherwise agreed at the enquiry and order stage. For railway applications, production we
34、lding has to be agreed separately (see EN 15085-2). Actions to finish castings or eliminate casting imperfections may include the use of a filler metal deposited by a suitable welding process or the insertion of a machined piece secured by welding. The manufacturers and purchasers attention is drawn
35、 to the need for approved procedures and suitably qualified welders (see EN ISO 15614-4, for finishing welding). After preparing the casting for finishing welding, the excavation can be classified in accordance with the procedure given in Annex A. 6.2.2.1 6.2.2.2 EN 1559-4:2015 (E)BS EN 1559-4:20156

37、ies 7.2.4 Additional requirements The manufacturer shall examine the results of any treatment of the melt carried out during the melting process by using appropriate methods. 7.3 Casting 7.3.1 Chemical composition For chemical composition of aluminium alloy castings, refer to the appropriate table i
38、n EN 1706. 7.3.2 Mechanical properties 7.3.3 Outer and inner conditions (non-destructive testing) Liquid penetrant examination shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1371-1. Radiographic inspection shall be carried out in accordance with EN 12681. Where applicable, unacceptable external and inte
39、rnal discontinuities shall be eliminated by production welding (see 6.2.2) or other agreed methods. 7.3.3.1 7.3.3.2 7.3.3.3 7.3.3.4 EN 1559-4:2015 (E)BS EN 1559-4:20157.3.4 Conditions of the casting 7.3.4.1 Shape and size 7.3.4.2 Fettling and finishing 7.3.4.3 In order to eliminate leaks in castings
40、, it is possible with the approval of the purchaser, to use impregnation. The impregnation medium and method, maximum permitted size of discontinuities and retest procedures shall be agreed between purchaser and manufacturer. 7.3.4.4 In the case of as cast castings, it is recommended that the purcha
41、ser agrees with the manufacturer on the choice of any non-destructive testing and criteria to determine the acceptability of a subsequently machined surface. Unless specifically agreed, discontinuities revealed on the machined surface should not be regarded as a cause for rejection. If the porosity
42、on machined surfaces is to be assessed, manufacturer and purchaser should agree on the method to be used. 7.3.5 Mass of the casting 7.3.6 Additional requirements regarding the conditions of the casting 7.3.6.1 Macrostructure Where appropriate, a macroscopic examination of a suitably prepared and etc
43、hed section shall be used to assess the grain size and/or structural discontinuities of a casting to agreed criteria. Assessment is usually carried out with or without low magnification. 7.3.6.2 Microstructure Where appropriate, a microscopic examination of a suitably polished and etched section sha
44、ll be used to determine the metallurgical structure of a casting to agreed criteria. Assessment is usually carried out at a high magnification and includes the nature, shape and distribution of the structural constituents. NOTE A cooling curve/thermal analysis carried out on a sample of liquid alloy
45、 before casting, can predict, to a limited extent, the metallurgical structure to be expected in the casting. 7.3.6.3 Density evaluation can be used to estimate the soundness of castings by weighting in air and water to agreed criteria.
