Metal Castings, Carbon, for Common Software1
This customary is issued beneath the fastened designation A27/A27M; the quantity instantly following the designation signifies the 12 months of unique adoption or, within the case of revision, the 12 months of final revision. A quantity in parentheses signifies the 12 months of final reapproval. A superscript epsilon (´) signifies an editorial change since the final revision or reapproval.
This customary has been authorized to be used by companies of the Division of Protection.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers carbon metal castings for gen- eral functions that require as much as 70 ksi (485 MPa) minimal tensile energy.
NOTE 1—The grades coated by this specification signify supplies which are appropriate for meeting with different metal castings or wrought metal components by fusion welding. It’s not meant to indicate that each one these grades possess the identical diploma of weldability or that the identical welding methods can be utilized on all castings. It’s the duty of the purchaser to ascertain for himself an acceptable welding method.
1.2 A number of grades and two lessons of metal castings are coated, as indicated beneath. The grade and sophistication desired shall be specified by the purchaser.
1.2.1 Grade N-1—Chemical evaluation solely.
1.2.2 Grade N-2—Warmth-treated however not mechanically examined.
1.2.3 Grade U-60-30 [415-205]—Mechanically examined however not heat-treated.
1.2.4 Grades 60-30 [415-205], 65-35 [450-240], 70-36
[485-250], and 70-40 [485-275]—Warmth-treated and mechani- cally examined.1.2.5 Class 1 and Class 2 metal castings shall be laid out in accordance with 9.2.
1.3 The values acknowledged in both SI items or inch-pound items are to be regarded individually as customary. The values acknowledged in every system might not be actual equivalents; due to this fact, every system shall be used independently of the opposite. Combining values from the 2 methods might lead to non-conformance with the customary.
1.4 This customary doesn’t purport to handle all the security considerations, if any, related to its use. It’s the duty of the consumer of this customary to ascertain appro- priate security and well being practices and decide the applica- bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 This specification is beneath the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Metal, Stainless Metal and Associated Alloysand is the direct duty of Subcommittee A01.18 on Castings.
