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. Scope*1.1 This specification covers aluminum-alloy high-s

3、trengthcastings designated as shown in Table 1.1.2 Castings covered by this specification are intended foruse in airframe, missile, and other critical applications wherehigh strength, ductility, and sound castings are required.1.3 Unless the order specifies the “M” specification desig-nation, the ma

4、terial shall be furnished to the inch-pound units.1.4 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminumand aluminum alloys and their properties in this specification,see Annex A1 and Annex A2.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. T

5、he values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents, therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated

Classification4.1 Castings shall be classified by inspection classes.4.1.1 Classes (Inspection):4.1.1.1 Class 1A class of casting, the single failure ofwhich would result

18、 in the loss of a missile, aircraft, or othervehicle.4.1.1.2 Class 2Class 1 castings not included in Class 1,the single failure of which would cause significant danger tooperating personnel or would result in a significant operationalpenalty. In the case of missiles, aircraft, and other vehicles, th

19、isincludes loss of major components, loss of control, uninten-tional release of inability to release armament stores, or failureof weapon installation components.4.1.1.3 Class 3Castings having a margin of safety of200 % or less.4.1.1.4 Class 4Castings having a margin of safety ofgreater than 200 %,

20、or for which no stress analysis is required.All target drone castings and aerospace ground support equip-ment fall in this category, except for such critical parts, thefailure of which would make the equipment unsatisfactory andcause the vehicles which they are intended to support to beinoperable.4.

21、1.2 Grades (Radiographic Quality):NOTE 1Caution should be exercised in specifying the grade ofmaximum permissible radiographic discontinuity level to be met in thecasting. Radiographic quality has only a qualitative relationship tomechanical properties. In general, the highest property levels of an

22、alloywill require the higher grades of radiographic quality. However, sectionsize and shape parameters may be able to tolerate certain discontinuitieswithout significant reduction in functional integrity. Too severe soundnessrequirements may cause the part producibility to be impractical oruneconomi

47、led for by the drawing note.CAlloy A201.0 is intended for use in the T7 temper, which provides a high level of resistance to stress-corrosion cracking when properly heat treated. In other tempers,alloy A201.0 may exhibit susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking. Additionally, its tendency for hot

48、 shortness may make alloy A201.0 unsuitable in some casting designs.DThis class is obtainable in favorable casting configurations and must be negotiated with the foundry for particular configuration desired.
