Ch.2 Sec.6
C. Miscellaneous

Ch.2 Sec.6
C 100   Chemical composition

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
101
   The chemical composition of samples taken from each ladle of each cast shall be determined by the manufacturer in an adequately equipped and competently staffed laboratory and shall comply with the appropriate requirements of this standard.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
102
   The manufacturer's declared analysis will be accepted subject to occasional checks if required by the purchaser.

Ch.2 Sec.6
C 200   Heat treatment

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
201
   All materials shall be supplied in a condition complying with the appropriate requirements of this standard.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
202
   Heat treatment shall be carried out in properly constructed furnaces which are efficiently maintained and have adequate means for control and recording of temperature. The furnace dimensions shall be such as to allow the material to be uniformly heated to the specified temperature.

Temperature uniformity of heat treatment furnace shall be verified by the manufacturer.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
203
   In the case of very large castings or forgings alternative methods for heat treatment will be specially considered.

Ch.2 Sec.6
C 300   Selection of test material

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
301
   Test material sufficient for the required tests and preferably also for possible retest purposes shall be provided. The test material shall be representative of the test unit or sample product and shall not be separated until all the specified heat treatment has been completed, unless otherwise agreed.

Ch.2 Sec.6
C 400   Testing

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
401
   The appropriate tests specified in this section shall be carried out at the place of manufacture before materials are dispatched. If the necessary facilities are not available at the manufacturer's works, the testing shall be carried out at a recognised testing laboratory.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
402
   In the event of any material proving unsatisfactory during subsequent processing or fabrication, such material shall be rejected, notwithstanding any previous certification. The purchaser may require further tests of materials from affected test units.

Ch.2 Sec.6
C 500   Retesting

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
501
   When the result of any test, other than impact test and Z-testing, fail to meet the requirements, two further tests may be made from the same sample. If both of these additional tests are satisfactory, the test unit may be accepted.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
502
   When the results from a set of three impact test pieces fail to meet the requirements, three additional test pieces from the same sample may be tested and the results added to those previously obtained to form a new average. If this new average complies with the requirements and if not more than two individual results are lower than the required average and, of these, not more than one result is below 70% of the specified average value, the test unit may be accepted.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
503
   If unsatisfactory results are obtained from retests representative of a test unit, the sample product from which the tests were made shall be rejected. The remaining material in the test unit may be accepted provided that two further sample products are tested with satisfactory result.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
504
   When a test unit is rejected, the remaining sample products in the test unit may be resubmitted individually for test, and those which give satisfactory results may be accepted.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
505
   At the option of the manufacturer, rejected material may be resubmitted after heat treatment or re-heat treatment, or may be resubmitted as another grade and may then be accepted provided the required tests are satisfactory.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
506
   If any test piece fails because of faulty preparation, visible defects or (in the case of tensile test) because of fracturing outside the range permitted for the appropriate gauge length, the defective test piece may be disregarded and replaced by an additional test piece of the same type.

Ch.2 Sec.6
C 600   Non-destructive testing

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
601
   All finished material shall have a workmanlike finish and shall be free from internal and surface defects prejudicial to the use of the material for the intended application. Otherwise the material shall comply with the appropriate specific requirements of this standard.

Ch.2 Sec.6
C 700   Correction of defects

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
701
   When unacceptable defects are found, these shall be removed by appropriate methods and rectified in accordance with the applicable requirements of this standard. Shallow grooves or depression resulting from the removal of defects may, by agreement, be accepted provided that they will cause no appreciable reduction in the strength of the material and that they are suitably smoothed and contoured.

Ch.2 Sec.6 C
702
   Repair of defects by welding shall only be carried out when permitted by the appropriate specific requirements. Proposals to repair a defective material by welding shall be submitted to the purchaser for acceptance before this work is commenced. Such proposals shall include appropriate details of the extent and position of defects. The manufacturer may be required to carry out welding procedure qualification tests to demonstrate that satisfactory mechanical properties can be obtained.
