Significance and Use4.1 These digital reference images are intended for refer-ence only, but are so designed that acceptance standards, whichmay be developed for particular r

35、equirements, can be specifiedin terms of these digital reference images. The illustrations aredigital images prepared from castings that were producedunder conditions designed to develop the discontinuities. Theimages of the14 in. (6.4 mm) castings are intended to be usedin the thickness range up to

36、 and including12 in. (12.7 mm).The images of the34 in. (19.1 mm) castings are intended to beused in the thickness range of over12 in. (12.7 mm), up to andincluding 2 in. (50.8 mm).4.2 Image DeteriorationMany conditions can affect theappearance and functionality of digital reference images. Forexampl

37、e, electrical interference, hardware incompatibilities,and corrupted files or drivers may affect their appearance. TheASTM E2002 line pair gauges located in the lower right handcorner of each digital reference can be used as an aid to detect5Lagowski, B.,“New Reference Radiographs for Magnesium Allo

38、y Castings,”Journal of Testing and Evaluation, Vol 2, No. 4, July 1974.E2869 172image deterioration by comparing the measured resolutionusing the gauges to the resolution stated on the digital referenceimage. Do not use the digital reference images if theirappearance has been adversely affected such

39、 that the interpre-tation and use of the images could be influenced.4.3 Agreement should be reached between cognizant engi-neering organization and the supplier that the system used bythe supplier is capable of detecting and classifying the requireddiscontinuities.5. Basis for Application5.1 The dig

40、ital reference images may be applied as accep-tance standards tailored to the end use of the product. Appli-cation of these digital reference images as acceptance standardsshould be based on the intended use of the product and thefollowing considerations (see Note 4).5.1.1 An area of like size to th

41、at of the digital referenceimage shall be the unit areas by which the production digitalimage is evaluated, and any such area shall meet the require-ments as defined for acceptability.5.1.2 Any combination or subset of these digital referenceimages may be used as is relevant to the particular applic

42、ation.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.5.1.3 Special considerations may be required where morethan one discontinuity type is present in the same area. Anymo

43、difications to the acceptance criteria required on the basis ofmultiple discontinuity types must be specified.5.1.4 Production digital images containing porosity, gas, orinclusions may be rated by the overall condition with regard tosize, number, and distribution. These factors should be consid-ered

44、 in balance.5.1.5 As a minimum, the acceptance criteria should containinformation addressing: zoning of the part (if applicable), theacceptance severity level for each discontinuity type, and thespecified area to which the digital reference images are to beapplied.NOTE 4Caution should be exercised i

45、n specifying the acceptancecriteria to be met in a casting. Casting design 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. Procedure for Evalua

46、tion6.1 Select the appropriate Digital Reference Image.6.2 Apply contrast adjustments to the reference image byeither method described in 9.5.6.3 Evaluation shall be performed against the adjustedreference image.7. Description7.1 The digital reference images listed in Table 1 illustrateeach type of

47、discontinuity in eight grades. The digital referenceimages listed in Table 2 illustrate each type of discontinuity ineight grades, with the exception of discrete discontinuities ofeutectic segregation, where only one example of pipe shrink,flow line, hot tear, and oxide inclusion is given. Although

48、eightgrades of each discontinuity are shown (with the aboveexceptions), a numerically smaller graded set of discontinuitiesbased on these digital reference images could be used foracceptance standards. (See Note 5.)7.2 The alloys used to reproduce the various discontinuitiesare as listed in Table 3.

49、7.3 The step wedges shown in the digital reference imagesare made of AZ91E, EV31, WE43 or ZE41A magnesium withthe thickness of the steps listed in Table 4.NOTE 5Misruns, core shift, cold shut, and surface irregularities arenot illustrated, as they are readily identifiable by surface examination orby other means of nondestructive testing.8.
