17、uction 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 the alloy cast. Depending on the applications of the casting, the surface requirements
18、 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 conventional mechanical, optical, or pneumatic devices. Other optical/electronic means are now
19、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 surfaces or other means of finishing of castings, comparators should have relatively large
20、 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 Industries de la Fonderie. Caractrisation dtats de surface des pices moules - Utilisation des
21、 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 of steel and iron castings“, ASTM A 802 Shorter Set, available from Castings Technol

23、t, 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 imperfections based on maximum dimensions to be detected by visual examination. The SCRATA co
24、mparators 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; 110 mm 160 mm for BNIF comparators. BS EN 1370:2011EN 1370:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This Eu
25、ropean 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 except die casting. 2 Comparators The comparators are essentially positive replicas of act
26、ual 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 roughness of the comparators. These can give preliminary information for the appropriate select
27、ion 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 overview and a comparison of the different categories and levels of the three sets of compara
28、tors 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. More than one severity level can be specified for different surfaces of the same castin
29、g. 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 of castings to be examined; the manufacturing stage at which surfaces are to be examined
30、. 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 examination shall be performed by trained personnel with satisfactory visual acuity. BS
31、EN 1370:2011EN 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 castings to be checked. These conditions shall be subject of an agreement between the manufacture
32、r and the purchaser by the time of ordering. This information enables the manufacturer to assess the additional inspections and operations involved.

36、ttled/grinded surfaces Z1, Z2, Z3 3.2.2 Surface roughness examination by visual tactile comparators To evaluate casting roughness, the areas indicated on the drawing shall be compared without optical aids, but with the appropriate visual tactile comparators of the category and level involved. Compar
37、ison 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 is significantly smaller than the surface of a comparator, an agreement on the method to be used sh
38、ould 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 is generally smoother. 3.2.3 Surface roughness examination by contact (stylus) instruments or non
39、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 agreed: method to be used; area(s) to be examined; scanning dimensions; surface profile parameters to be
40、 measured; required values (minimum, maximum) for these parameters. BS EN 1370:2011EN 1370:2011 (E) 8 3.3 Visual examination of surface discontinuities 3.3.1 General The area to be considered shall be examined without optical aids and it is essential to use sufficient lighting. Surface discontinuiti
41、es 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 welding. The surface to be inspected shall be clean, free from rust, sand, scale, moulding and mould co
42、ating 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 surface discontinuities by dimensions are specified. It can be used for as-cast, shot blasted, grinded or
43、 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 1 Size of discontinuities L and H BS EN 1370:2011EN 1370:2011 (E) 9 Borders and edges, not resulting fro
44、m parting lines, having the shape of “steps” in cast surfaces should be considered as discontinuities, see Figure 2. Figure 2 Step irregularities Table 3 Severity levels for surface discontinuities (dimensions) Severity Level Size of discontinuities Weight and/or thickness of casting Range of height
45、 or depth H (mm) Largest length L (mm) within the H range VD1 0,5 0,5 Small castings VD2 0,5 to 1,0 1,0 VD3 1,0 to 1,5 1,5VD4 1,0 to 1,5 2,5 VD5 1,0 to 2,0 5,0VD6 1,5 to 3,0 10 VD7 1,5 to 3,0 15VD8 2,0 to 4,0 20 Large castings NOTE VD stands for Visual examination of discontinuities Dimensions. When
46、 the height or depth of discontinuities is less than the lower limit of the H range, the discontinuities shall not be taken into account. A maximum number of discontinuities may be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer. BS EN 1370:2011EN 1370:2011 (E) 10 3.3.3 Classification of surface d
47、iscontinuities for steel and iron castings by visual tactile comparators For evaluating casting surfaces, the areas to be assessed shall be visually compared, without optical aids, with the appropriate comparators on the basis of the category and severity level. Comparison of the comparators with th
48、e casting surface shall be made with the comparators held next to the casting under sufficient lighting conditions. When two or more discontinuity categories are present in any area to be assessed, each shall be assessed according to its specified severity level. The outcome of the assessment is sat
49、isfactory if, in the required area, it is equal to or better than the stated reference comparators. Surface discontinuities not covered by these comparators shall be a matter of agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer. In Table 4 most common categories of discontinuities and severity levels within each of the categories are defined.
