6、um or strontium. The composition shall be selected from within the above range in order to meet castability, soundness, machinability consistency, micro-structural and strength requirements. The specific composition limits and foundry practice to meet performance and manufacturing requirements will
7、form part of the Control Plan for each individual component geometries and supplier. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSD-M2A143-A1/A2 Copyright 2014, Ford Global Technologies, Inc. Page 2 of 3 3.3 QUALITY 3.3.1 General The finished cylinder head must be free from laps, cold shuts, dross, sludge a
8、nd eutectic segregation/depletion. Gas holes/porosity and shrinkage porosity assessment levels, visual and/or radiographic (ASTM E 155) methods, shall be subject of the control plan. 3.3.2 Microstructure The microstructure shall consist of primary alpha aluminum, alpha aluminum-silicon eutectic and
9、inter-metallic constituents. The silicon component of the eutectic shall be rounded which indicates modification. 3.4 MECHNICAL PROPERTIES Tensile and compression test samples shall be separately poured at the same time and from the same metal as the castings they represent, or alternatively and whe
10、n specified on the engineering drawing, machined from the component casting in the designated location. The mechanical properties shall be determined, for A1, not less than 168 hours after casting, and for A2, after heat treatment to the same condition as that of the corresponding finished component

12、O 6506, F/DxD = 10) Hardness shall be determined on the casting at the location shown on engineering drawing. A1 A2 (see 3.5) Hardness Brinell 70 - 110 80 - 120 Note: The frequency and detail of mechanical testing will form part of the agreed Control Plan. 3.5 HEAT TREATMENT A2 CONDITION Components
13、will be subjected to heat treatment to achieve the required mechanical properties. The thermal treatment may include a solution heat treatment, generally at 450 C to 510 C for 2 to 12 hours, followed by an artificial ageing treatment, generally at 225 C to 255 C for 2 to 4 hours. When heat treatment
14、 is required, treatment parameters shall form part of the Control Plan for the individual component.
