They may bedue to the presence of sand, slag, oxide or dross, or metal ofdifferent density.3.2.3 gas holesappear as round or elongated, smooth-edged dark spots, occurring individually, in clusters, or

21、 thecenter. They are entrapped sand particles that underwentreaction with molten magnesium alloys containing zirconium(Note 3).3.2.8 segregationsappear as variations in film densitywhich can be explained by segregation of elements of atomicnumbers different from that of the matrix.3.2.8.1 gravity se

22、gregationappears white on radiographand may range from a mottling-type effect through white-diffused spots blending with the matrix, to a cloud-likeappearance in more severe cases. They are agglomerations ofparticles precipitated at temperatures above liquidus (Note 3).3.2.8.2 eutectic segregationty

23、pe of segregation is gener-ally represented when a defect or discontinuity develops duringsolidification and is fed with a near eutectic residual liquid richwith alloying elements that have a high X-ray attenuation. Oneexception to this enrichment as illustrated in Reference Radio-graphs E155 is flo

The area shows light on aradiograph as a feathery or dendritic feature (Note 3).(3) eutectic segregationhot-tear typetype of segregationdevelops during solidification when the hot tear that takes placeis immediately filled with liquid rich in alloying elements highin X-ray attenuation. The defec

A portion of the solid front then partially melts; othe

28、r-wise, the discontinuity would be a cold shut. Solidificationbegins after this remelt and the initial crystals are of high purityand contain fewer high-density alloying elements than the meltaverage. Since the metal is still flowing across these crystals,the composition ahead of this solidifying fr

29、ont is depleted. Thisdepletion of the eutectic shows on the radiograph as a darkdiffused line (Note 3).(5) oxide inclusions in magnesium alloys containingzirconiumshow on a radiograph as well defined light area ofirregular shape and size resembling a radiograph of a com-pacted fine steel wool. It is

30、 composed of complex magnesiumoxide film with high zirconium content, and, if present, rareearths and thorium oxides also. It is often associated withzirconium-rich particles.NOTE 3More detailed descriptions of these discontinuities can befound in the article, “New Reference Radiographs for Magnesiu

Signif

32、icance and Use4.1 These radiographs are intended for reference only butare so designed that acceptance standards, which may bedeveloped for particular requirements, can be specified interms of these radiographs. The illustrations are radiographs ofcastings that were produced under conditions designe

33、d todevelop the discontinuities. The radiographs of the14-in.(6.35-mm) castings are intended to be used in the thicknessrange up to and including12 in. (12.7 mm). The radiographs ofthe34-in. (19.1-mm) castings are intended to be used in thethickness range of over12 in. to and including 2 in. (51 mm)

34、.The grouping and system of designations are based on consid-erations of the best practical means of making these referenceradiographs of the greatest possible value.4.2 Film DeteriorationRadiographic films are subject towear and tear from handling and use. The extent to which theimage deteriorates

35、over time is a function of storage condi-tions, care in handling and amount of use. Reference radio-graph films are no exception and may exhibit a loss in imagequality over time. The radiographs should therefore be peri-odically examined for signs of wear and tear, includingscratches, abrasions, sta

36、ins, and so forth. Any reference radio-graphs which show signs of excessive wear and tear whichcould influence the interpretation and use of the radiographsshould be replaced.5. Basis for Application5.1 The reference radiographs may be applied as acceptancestandards tailored to the end use of the pr

37、oduct. Application ofthese reference radiographs as acceptance standards should bebased on the intended use of the product and the followingconsiderations (see Note 4).5.1.1 Compare the production radiographs of the castingsubmitted for evaluation with the reference radiographs appli-cable to design

38、ated wall thickness in accordance with thewritten acceptance criteria.E155 1025.1.2 An area of like size to that of the reference radiographshall be the unit area by which the production radiograph isevaluated, and any such area shall meet the requirements asdefined for acceptability.5.1.3 Any combi

39、nation or portion of these reference radio-graphs may be used as is relevant to the particular application.Different grades or acceptance limits may be specified for eachdiscontinuity type. Furthermore, different grades may be speci-fied for different regions or zones of a component.5.1.4 Special co

40、nsiderations may be required where morethan one discontinuity type is present in the same area. Anymodifications to the acceptance criteria required on the basis ofmultiple discontinuity types must be specified.5.1.5 Where the reference radiographs provide only anungraded illustration of a discontin

41、uity, acceptance criteriamay be specified by referencing a maximum discontinuity size,or percentage of the discontinuity size illustrated.5.1.6 Production radiographs showing porosity, gas, shrink-age, or inclusions shall be evaluated by the overall conditionwith regard to size, number, and distribu

42、tion. The aggregatesize of discontinuities shall not exceed the total accumulationin area of the discontinuities of the reference radiograph. It isnot the intent that the maximum size of the illustrated discon-tinuity shall be the limiting size for a single productionradiographic discontinuity, or t

43、hat the number of discontinui-ties shown on the reference radiograph shall be the limitingnumber for production radiographs. Also, caution should beexercised in judging a large discontinuity against a collectionof small discontinuities on the basis of size alone. Each of thefactors of size, number,

44、and distribution must be considered inbalance. The purchaser may provide documented specificmethods of evaluation.5.1.7 When the severity level of discontinuities per unit inthe production radiograph being evaluated is equal to or betterthan the severity level in the specified reference radiograph,t

45、hat part of the casting represented by the production radio-graph shall be acceptable. If the production radiograph showsdiscontinuities per unit area of greater severity than thereference radiograph, that part of the casting shall not beaccepted.5.1.8 As a minimum the acceptance criteria should con

46、taininformation addressing: zoning of the part (if applicable), theacceptable severity level for each discontinuity type, and thespecified area to which the reference radiographs are to beapplied.NOTE 4Caution should be exercised in specifying the acceptancecriteria to be met in a casting. Casting d

47、esign coupled with foundrypractice should be considered. It is advisable to consult with themanufacturer/foundry before establishing the acceptance criteria to ensurethe desired quality level can be achieved.6. Description6.1 The radiographs listed in Table 1 illustrate each type ofdiscontinuity in

48、eight grades. The radiographs listed in Table 2illustrate each type of discontinuity in eight grades, with theexception of pipe shrink, flow line, hot tear and oxide inclu-sion, where a single ungraded illustration is given for each.Although eight grades of each discontinuity are shown (withthe abov

49、e exceptions), a numerically smaller graded set ofdiscontinuities based on these reference radiographs could beused for acceptance standards. Each grade is illustrated inapproximatelya2by2-in. (51 by 51-mm) area. The radio-graphic technique used is in agreement with Guide E94, andproduced a desired density of 2.0 to 2.25.6.2 The alloys used to reproduce the various discontinuitieswere as listed in Table 3.NOTE 5Misruns, core shift, cold shut, and surface irregularities arenot illustrated, as they are readily identifiable by surface inspection or by
