17、 terms used in this docu-ment, see Terminology E 1316, Section D.4. Significance and Use4.1 These reference radiographs were produced by the useof 88:8:4, Cu-Sn-Zn, “G” plate castings. Table 2 lists thechemical composition and mechanical property limits for thealloy type. The references illustrate t

18、he appearance of thevarious radiographic severity levels when the original radio-graphs are produced to an optical density of 2.0 6 0.2 on highcontrast, fine grain film with a sensitivity (quality level), asdetermined by standard penetrameters, of 2 % (2-2T). Inselecting these reference radiographs,

19、 the aim was to obtain aprogressively graduated series for each type of discontinuity(Note 2). It was not intended that alike numbered levels orclasses be considered of equal severity (as far as deteriorationof mechanical properties is concerned) for the various catego-ries.NOTE 2For a description o

20、f sensitivity or quality levels, see GuideE 94.4.2 The reproductions have been prepared to an H and Ddensity of 2.0 6 0.2 and have retained substantially thecontrast of the original radiographs. Details of the techniqueused in the original radiography are listed in Table 3. Thesedata are presented a

21、s a matter of record and are not to beconstrued as the only recommended techniques to be used forthe radiography of castings to be evaluated by these references.4.3 Film DeteriorationRadiographic films are subject towear and tear from handling and use. The extent to which theimage deteriorates over

22、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, stains,

23、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. Descriptions of Discontinuities5.1 The following paragraphs are provided to aid in theidentification and classification of disc

24、ontinuities (Note 3).They briefly describe the radiographic appearance of commontypes of discontinuities and indicate their probable cause.5.1.1 Gas HolesRound or elongated, smooth-edged darkspots which may occur either individually, in clusters, ordistributed throughout the casting section. They ar

25、e generallycaused by trapped air or mold gases.NOTE 3Discontinuities caused by evolved gases may occur as moreor less spherical voids, but may also occur as elongated “worm holes” orcavities somewhat resembling certain types of shrinkage. It is recom-mended that the “worm hole” cavities be evaluated

26、 by the use of thefeathery or sponge shrinkage category reference radiographs.5.1.2 ShrinkageShrinkage is generally associated withimproper feeding and manifests itself in the following differentindication forms:5.1.2.1 Linear ShrinkageUsually a continuous structureof connected lines, branches or ne

27、twork of variable length,width, and density.5.1.2.2 Feathery ShrinkageAppears on the radiographs assponge but with a more feathery outline.5.1.2.3 Sponge ShrinkageAppears on the radiographs as adark area or areas, lacy in texture, usually with a diffuseoutline.5.1.3 Hot TearsThe similarly, appearing

28、 “hot tear” and“linear shrinkage” have distinctive characteristics. The follow-ing information is presented as guide to interpreters to mini-mize confusion in distinguishing hot tears from linear shrink-age:5.1.3.1 Hot tears usually occur singly; shrinkage will gen-erally be multiple.5.1.3.2 Hot tea

29、rs propagate at or near the surface; shrinkageappears to propagate at or near the midsection.5.1.3.3 Hot tears generally occur at hot spots or sectionchanges; linear shrinkage frequently occurs at uniform sectionsalso.5.1.3.4 Hot tears occur where temperature gradients arehigh; shrinkage occurs wher

30、e temperature gradients are low.5.1.3.5 Hot tears occur transverse to the direction of greateststress.5.1.3.6 Hot tears can only be counteracted by altering thestress pattern or thermal pattern; shrinkage can always becountered by sufficient feed metal.TABLE 1 Discontinuity Types and Severity Levels

35、r indications. Drossis generally considered to represent oxidized metal.6. Application of the Reference Radiographs6.1 In establishing acceptance standards, these referenceradiographs may be used in full or in part, as desired.6.2 For each casting, the minimum acceptable severity level(or class) sho

36、uld be specified for each type of discontinuity; forexample, the Severity Level 2 (or class) might be specified forshrinkage (Type C defects) and Class 4 for gas porosity (TypeA defects), since the latter are generally much less deleterious.6.3 The acceptable quality level may vary in differentlocat

37、ions of a casting depending on the magnitude, direction,and type of stress versus section contour.6.4 Production radiographs which are compared to thereference radiographs should have a film density in the area ofinterest in the range from 1.5 to 3.5 and a specified minimumsensitivity (quality level

38、) of 2 % (2-2T). Other quality levelsmay be designated, but then a suitable change in the severity orclass should be anticipated and hence specified. Radiographs ofhigher density are permitted if both manufacturer and pur-chaser have viewing equipment with adequately intense illu-minators.7. Interpr

39、etation7.1 The following practice should be adhered to in evaluat-ing production radiographs of castings against the selectedstandard radiographs.7.1.1 When production radiographs being evaluated withthe selected references show a discontinuity type which isequal to or less severe than those in the

40、applicable referenceradiographs, the casting shall be considered radiographicallyacceptable. If the production radiographs show a discontinuityof greater severity than the applicable reference radiograph, thecasting shall be rejected until satisfactorily repaired, if repair-ing is permissible (Secti

41、on 8).7.1.2 If more than one type of discontinuity is revealed inthe same radiograph, the predominating type of defect aloneshall govern acceptability unless the severity represented bythe combination of discontinuity types is such as to make theoverall condition unacceptable for the intended applic

42、ation.7.1.3 When two or more categories of discontinuity arepresent to an extent equal to the maximum permissible level, asshown in the pertinent standards for each category, then thatpart of the casting shall be judged unacceptable until satisfac-torily repaired (if repairs are permissible) (see Se

43、ction 8).7.1.4 In general, there is no limit as to the extent ofacceptable discontinuities in a casting, provided that no 212 by512-in. 63.5 by 139.7-mm area throughout the casting con-tains discontinuities that exceed the severity of defects in theapplicable reference radiographs.7.1.5 Where the re

44、ference image consists of a collection ofdiscontinuities, as in the case of porosity, for example, accept-ability may be based on the aggregate size of the discontinui-ties present on both the reference radiograph and the objectradiograph, the maximum defect size present, the spacingbetween disconti

45、nuities, or a combination of these or othercriteria. These criteria must be determined based upon theparticular application or part under consideration and must bespecified by agreement between the purchaser and supplier.7.1.6 A diffraction mottling pattern can occur on films ofparts and sections wh

46、ere the grain size is large enough to be anappreciable fraction of the material thickness (see Note 4). Ifdiffraction mottling is suspected, there are a number of ways todemonstrate its presence. The diffraction mottling patternshown in these cases is dependent principally upon the crystalgeometry a

47、nd the orientation of the crystals to the incidentradiation. Therefore, for a given specimen, any change in thisorientation will effect the diffraction pattern dramatically. Thiscan be accomplished by a slight, 1 to 5 tilt of the part, withrespect to the radiation beam or simply by shifting thecente

48、rline of the radiation beam to a slightly different locationfrom the first exposure. Indications from any porosity, shrink-age or other discontinuity will move only slightly, while anymottling patterns present will change dramatically. If it isnecessary or desirable to eliminate the mottling, the kV

49、 may beraised to reduce the amount of diffraction radiation. However,caution should be used so that the kV is not raised to the pointthat sensitivity is reduced excessively. If diffraction mottling isdemonstrated to be present on a radiograph, this condition shallnot be considered as prejudicial in evaluating the radiograph.NOTE 4Mottling is often associated with thin sections of austeniticsteels and copper base alloys such as copper nickel, tin bronzes, and nickelcopper. Demonstration of mottling has also been shown in the duplexalloys as well.8. Repai
