Materials and Manufacture4.1 Melting ProcessThe steel shall be made by open-hearth or electric furnace process with or without separate refining, suchas a
26、rgon-oxygen-decarburization (AOD), unless otherwise specified in the individual specification.4.2 Heat Treatment:4.2.1 Castings shall be heat treated in the working zone of a furnace that has been surveyed in accordance with Test MethodA991/A991M.4.2.2 When castings are heat treated at temperatures
27、above 2000F 1100C, then the working zone shall have been establishedby a survey performed at not more than 25F 15C below nor more than 200F 110C above the minimum heat treatmenttemperature specified for the grade. If a minimum heat treatment temperature is not specified for the grade, then the surve
28、ytemperature shall be not more than 50F 30C below nor more than 175F 100C above the furnace set point used.4.2.3 The maximum variation in measured temperature as determined by the difference between the highest temperature and thelowest temperature shall be as agreed between the purchaser and produc
29、er except that during production heat treatment, no portionof the furnace shall be below the minimum specified temperature nor above the maximum specified temperature for the grade beingprocessed.A781/A781M 1225. Chemical Composition5.1 Chemical AnalysisChemical analysis of materials covered by this
30、 specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods,Practices, and Terminology A751.5.2 Heat AnalysisAn analysis of each heat shall be made by the manufacturer to determine the percentages of the elementsspecified in the individual specification for the grade being poured. The analysis shall be
31、made from a test sample preferably takenduring the pouring of the heat. When drillings are used, they shall be taken not less than14 in. 6.4 mm beneath the surface. Thechemical composition thus determined shall conform to the requirements in the individual specification for the grade being poured.5.
32、3 Product AnalysisA product analysis may be made by the purchaser from material representing each heat, lot, or casting.The analysis shall be made on representative material. Samples for carbon analysis of carbon and alloy steel shall be taken nocloser than14 in. 6 mm to a cast surface, except that
33、castings too thin for this shall be analyzed on representative material. Thechemical composition thus determined shall meet the requirements specified in the applicable specification for the grade involved,or shall be subject to rejection by the purchaser, except that the chemical composition determ
34、ined for carbon and low alloy steelcastings may vary from the specified limits by the amounts shown in Table 1. The product analysis tolerances of Table 1 are notapplicable as acceptance criteria for heat analysis by the casting manufacturer. When comparing product and heat analysis for otherthan ca
35、rbon and low alloy steels, the reproducibility Data R2, in Test Methods E353 or E354, as applicable, shall be taken intoconsideration.5.4 Unspecified ElementsWhen chemical analysis for elements not specified for the grade ordered is desired, SupplementaryRequirement S13 may be specified.5.5 Grade Su
36、bstitutionGrade substitution is not permitted. Grade substitution occurs when the material being suppliedcontains one or more elements that are not specified for the supplied material such that the material conforms to the requirementsof a different grade.6. Mechanical Test Requirements6.1 The indiv
37、idual product specifications vary as to whether mechanical tests are required; for this reason, and to determinespecific test requirements, the individual product specification should be reviewed.6.2 Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, when mechanical properties are required by the product
38、specification, testcoupons may be cast integrally with the castings, or as separate blocks, in accordance with Fig. 1, Fig. 2, or Fig. 3, except whenTABLE 1 Product Analysis TolerancesElement Range, %ATolerancesB,COverMaximum or UnderMinimum Limit, %C upto0.65above 0.650.03 3 %CL+ 0.020.04Mn up to 1

41、ion indicates that the limits of theelement specified by the applicable specification are to be inserted into theequation to calculate the tolerance for the upper limit and the lower limit (ifapplicable), respectively. Examples of computing tolerances are presented infootnote C.CTo illustrate the co
42、mputation of the tolerance, consider the manganesemaximum of 0.70 for a 0.30 carbon grade 65-35 in Specification A27/A27M. Themaximum permissible deviation is (0.08 3 0.70 + 0.01) = 0.066. Therefore, thehighest acceptable product analysis is 0.766. Similarly, for a 0.20 carbon grade70-40 in Specific
43、ation A27/A27M, the maximum manganese content is 1.40; thus,the highest acceptable product analysis is (1.40 + 0.09) = 1.49.A781/A781M 123Supplementary Requirement S15 is specified. The test coupon in Fig. 3 shall be employed only for austenitic alloy castings withcross sections less than 212 in. 65

Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance7.1 All castings shall be made in a workmanlike manner and shall conform to the dimensions on drawings furnished by thepurchaser before manufacture is started. If the pattern is supplied by the purchaser, the dimensions of the casting shall be aspredicated
45、by the pattern.3Information on the relationship of mechanical properties determined on test coupons obtained as specified in 6.2 with those obtained from the casting may be found inThe Steel Casting Handbook, Fifth Edition, Steel Founders Society of America, pp. 15-35 through 15-43, 1980.Metric Equi

Themaximum height is at the option of the foundry for thefollowing reasons: (a) many risers are cast open, (b)different compositions may require variation in riseringfor soundness, and (c) different pouring temperaturesmay require variation in risering for soundness.7.
