MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CASTINGSX1.1 The mechanical properties of malleable iron castingsare influenced by a number of factors, that include the coolingrate during solidification

42、, chemical composition, the heattreatment, the design of the casting, section thickness, and thelocation and effectiveness of gates, risers, and chills.X1.2 Because of the complexity of these factors in influ-encing the properties of the final product, no precise quantita-tive relationship can be st

43、ated between the properties of theiron in various locations of a given casting or between theproperties of a casting and those of a test specimen cast fromthe same iron. When such a relationship is important and mustbe known for a specific application, it may be determined byappropriate experimentat

44、ion.X1.3 The specimen specified in 7.2.1.1 as the standardtensile test bar for malleable iron has a58-in. 16 mm diametertest section that reasonably represents a typical section of thegeneral run of malleable iron castings. Furthermore, the initialfreezing and malleable irons as homogeneous white ir

45、on,together with the heat treatment that is inherent in the manu-facture of malleable iron, tends to reduce the section-sensitivityeffect. Therefore, where experimentation into precise proper-ties within a given casting would be unfeasible, this standardtest bar, made like any typical casting, shoul

46、d provide apractical approximation of the properties that can be expectedin any average sound malleable iron castings. When thenumber of standard test bars to determine specification com-pliance is insufficient, the manufacturer may wish to seekpurchaser approval by comparing tension test results fr

47、om thecasting in question with those of two other castings having thesame design and test bar location and from which acceptablestandard bar results were obtained.X1.4 If malleable iron castings are welded, the microstruc-ture of the iron is markedly affected, particularly in theheat-affected zone.

48、Since this may adversely affect the proper-ties of the casting, the welding of malleable iron castingsshould be done under strict metallurgical control, followed byappropriate post-weld heat treatment, to minimize the substan-tial reductions in ductility, impact resistance, and machinabilitythat cou

49、ld result, particularly in the vicinity of the weldment.Nevertheless, it is generally considered inadvisable to joincastings to similar castings or to other materials, by fusionwelding out in the field, or in manufactured assemblies,without fully testing the entire completed part.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights, and
