SAE AMS4446C Page 5 of 8 3.6.3.1 Corrosion rate shall be determined in accordance with ASTM B 117 except that, prior to exposure, specimens shall be accurately weighed to within 0.01 gram (W1). Specimens shall be exposed to the salt spra

Following exposure, specimens shall be rinsed with tap water and cleaned of adherent corrosion product by immersing in a hot 190 F (88 C) 20% chromic acid plus 1% silver nitrate solution for 1 to 2 minutes. Cleaned specimens shall be rinsed in hot water, dried in a str

33、eam of hot air, and reweighed (W2). The measured weight loss (WL) shall be calculated (W1- W2) and used for calculating corrosion rate, using Equations 1 and 2: (Eq. 1) (Eq. 2) where: WL = Measured weight loss in mg SA = Total surface area of specimen in cm2EP = Exposure time in days D = Density, 1.

Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, continued radiographic inspection of production castings shall be perform

37、ed at a frequency determined by the vendor to assure continued maintenance of internal quality. 3.7.3 Methods of inspection and frequency of inspection shall be as agreed upon by purchaser and vendor. A “Casting Class” of AMS2175 may be selected to specify the method and frequency of inspection. 3.7

38、.4 When acceptance standards are not specified, Grade C of AMS2175 shall apply. ASTM E 155 may be used to define radiographic acceptance standards. 3.7.5 Radiographic inspection shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM E 1742, unless otherwise specified by purchaser. 3.7.6 When specified by purcha

39、ser, castings shall be fluorescent penetrant inspected using a method specified by the purchaser, or, if not specified, a method in accordance with ASTM E 1417. SAE AMS4446C Page 6 of 8 3.7.7 Castings shall not be peened, plugged, impregnated, or welded unless authorized by purchaser. 3.7.7.1 When a

43、grally-cast coupons shall be determined only when specified by purchaser or when separately-cast specimens are not available. Tensile properties of separately-cast specimens or integrally-cast coupons need not be determined when tensile properties of specimens cut from castings are determined. 4.2.2

44、 Periodic Tests Corrosion resistance (3.6.3) is a periodic test and shall be performed at a frequency selected by the vendor unless frequency of testing is specified by purchaser. 4.2.3 Preproduction Tests All technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed prior to or on the f

45、irst-article shipment of a casting to a purchaser, when a change in material and/or processing requires reapproval as in 4.4.2, and when purchaser deems confirmatory testing to be required. 4.3 Sampling and Testing Shall be in accordance with the following: 4.3.1 At least one chemical analysis speci
