1、Designation: A 518/A 518M 99 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Specification forCorrosion-Resistant High-Silicon Iron Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 518/A 518M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision

2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification cov

3、ers high-silicon cast iron castingsintended for corrosion-resistant service.1.2 This specification covers three grades as shown in Table1. Selection of grade depends on the corrosive service to beexperienced by the casting. All three grades are suited forapplication in severe corrosive environments.

4、 However, Grade2 is particularly suited for application in strong chlorideenvironments, and Grade 3 is recommended for impressedcurrent anodes.1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. Th

5、e values stated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shallbe used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section

6、9, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to

29、eatment7.1 High-silicon iron castings are generally used in theheat-treated (stress-relieved) condition.

31、 of1600F 870C for a minimum period of 1 h/in. mm ofmaximum section thickness, except that in no case shall theholding period be less than 2 h.7.3.3 Cool the castings to 400F 205C maximum at a ratenot faster than 100F 55C/15 min.7.3.4 From 400F 205C to ambient temperature, thecastings may be cooled i

32、n still ambient air.8. Mechanical Requirements8.1 Transverse Bend Test:8.1.1 When specified by the purchaser, the silicon-iron alloyshall be given a transverse bend test. The specimen tested shallmeet the test requirements prescribed in Table 2.A 518/A 518M 99 (2003)28.1.2 When transverse bend tests

33、 are specified, test barsshall be made and tested from each heat (or ladle in the case ofcontinuous melting) from which the castings are poured.8.1.3 The test bars shall be heat treated in the productionfurnaces to the same procedure as the castings.8.1.4 Each test bar shall be permanently marked wi

34、th theheat or ladle number from which it was poured.
