4、 QS-9000 (IS0 9001) INTERNATIONAL CEMS E- 1 O INTERNATIONAL IQR Quality Standard INTERNATIONAL Manufacturing Standard D-13 CFR Title 29, Part 1910 4.0 REOUIREMENTS Castings shall conform to all requirements for Grade 6503, CEMS E-10 with the following additions and exceptions: 4.1 Mechanical Propert
5、ies 4.1.1 Tensile bars machined from castings shall exhibit a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa (75 O00 psi) and a minimum yield strength (0.2% offset) of 345 MPa (50 O00 psi). Tensile bars shall be taken from the intersection of the flange and the webs near the center bore on the side opposite th
6、e gate pad (See Figure 1). This is an additional requirement to those specified in E-10. 4.1.2 Hardness shall be BHN 197-269 (3000 kg, 10 mm ball) and shall be measured on each casting on the cope side of the center bore and on either the cope or drag side of either end bore.

8、ngine Corporation AUGUST 2000 Page 1 of 5 NUMBER: TMS- 2008 4.1.3 Castings shall exhibit a minimum fatigue life of 70,000 cycles. Fatigue testing shall be performed using an entire casting as the test specimen. Loads experienced by the casting during fatigue testing shall correspond to the suspensio
9、n rating of the equalizer beam, as indicated in the following table: TITLE: REVISION: Equalizer Beam Castings F-1 Suspension Rating Of Equalizer Beam Range Of Loads Experienced At Centerline Of Center Bore In Fatigue Test kN (lb0 Kn (lb0 151 (34,000) 169 (3 8,000) 196 (44,000) +30 to +302 +34 to +33

In addition to the general requirements regarding cast surfaces stated in CEMS E-10, the flange and web surfaces shall meet the-following re
11、quirements regarding visual discontinuities: 4.2.1 Categorv 1 Discontinuities Cracks, shrinkage porosity, cold shuts, trapped sand, trapped slag. 4.2.1.1 Tension And Compression Flanges From Centerline To Centerline Of End Bores All protruding discontinuities shall be ground flush with the casting s
12、urface; grinding shall be in a longitudinal direction. 4.2.1.2 Discontinuities up to 1.5 mm (U16 inch) in depth are permissible provided there is visual evidence that the bottom of the discontinuity does not extend below this depth. When this visual evidence is absent, a small diameter carbide or si
13、milar cutting surface grinder shall be used to probe directly into the discontinuity. 4.2.1.3 If probing confirms that the discontinuity is no deeper than 1.5 mm (U16 in) max, the probe grinding need not be blended out. 4.2.1.4 If probing confirms that the discontinuity is 1.5 to 3 mm (U16 to 1/8 in
14、) in depth, the beam may be salvaged only by employing a large diameter grinding wheel to blend the area of the discontinuity into the surrounding casting surface. 4.2.1.5 Blending shall be done in a longitudinal direction and shall be achieved within a width of 25 to 38 mm (1 to 1-1/2 in) and a len
15、gth of 100 to 150 mm (4 to 6 in). 4.2.1.6 If probing confirms that the discontinuity is greater than 3 mm (1/8 in) in depth, the casting shall be rejected.

Suppliers are required to assume all patent liability. 02000 International Truck and Engine Corporation AUGUST 2000 Page 2 of 5 NUMBER: TMS- 2008 4.2.1.7 No more than six discontinuities in the size range 1.5-3 mm (U16 to 1/8 in) in depth may be blended out on each flange of
17、any one casting. If the casting exhibits more than six of these kinds of discontinuities on any one flange, the casting shall be rejected. 4.2.1.8 To avoid excessive stock removal at any particular location, discontinuities to be blended out on the same flange must be separated by 50 mm (2 in) min,
18、of sound metal and there can be no more than one discontinuity on any plane perpendicular to the centerline of the beam. Discontinuities located on opposite flanges (tension and compression) must be on planes (perpendicular to the centerline) that are separated by 50 mm (2 in) min, of sound metal. 4
19、.2.1.9 Both sides of Web From Centerline To Centerline of End Bores Same requirements as on flanges, except the maximum allowable depth of discontinuity is 5 mm (3/16 in) and removal of these by grinding is optional.

21、e To Centerline Of End Bores Same requirements as on flanges, except that the maximum allowable depth of discontinuity is 5 mm (3/16 in) and removal of these by grinding is optional. 4.2.3 Categ;orv 3 Discontinuities - Parting; Line Finish All flash on the casting parting line greater than 1.5 mm (U
22、16 in) in height shall be removed by longitudinal grinding. Any irregular or sharp-edged flash, regardless of height, shall be removed by longitudinal grinding. 4.2.3.1 In addition to the general requirements regarding machined surfaces stated in CEMS E-10, discontinuities shall not exceed 1.5 mm (l
23、/16 in) in depth or 3 mm (1/8 in) in width. 4.3 Identification 4.3.1 The letters 6C (formerly NC) shall be permanently and legibly marked on all as-cast nodular iron equalizer beams; if the castings are normalized, the letters 6N (formerly NN) shall be shown. 4.3.2 The flange of the casting containi
24、ng the gates and risers shall be identified on both sides of the web with the raised letters UP and an arrow pointing to that flange. Since the beam is symmetrical, this easily enables Manufacturing to install the beam in the vehicle such that the flange with the gates and risers is on the upper (co
25、mpression) side. 4.4 Processing; and Inspection 4.4.1 Equalizer beams shall not be straightened.
