Scope 1.1 This specification covers a group of white cast irons that have been alloyed to secure high resistance to abrasive wearin the applications of the mining, milling, earth-handling, and ‘manufacturing industries. 1.2 Simple and low-alloy white cast irons that consist essentially of iron carbides and pearlite are specifically ex- cluded from this specification 1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as the standard, Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used inde pendently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. 2. Referenced Documents 2. ASTM Standards: E 10 Test Method for Brinell Hardness of Metallic Materi- als?

If the hardness method is not specified, it shall be at the manufacturer's option. 4, Method of Manufacture 4.1 These alloys may be made by any suitable melting process. 4.2 If the casting is to be chilled or otherwise specially treated on any portion, the inquiries and the purchase order shall so state and a properly marked drawing of the casting will accompany both the inguiry and the purchase order. 5. Heat Treatment 5.1 The casting will be supplied in one of the following conditions: 5.1L As-cast, 5.1.2 As-cast and stress relieved, 5.1.3 Hardened, 5.14 Hardened and stress relieved, or 5.155 Softened for machining. ‘5.2 Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, the manu- facturer shall supply the castings in the heat treatment he deems best forthe application. '5.3 Ifthe heat treatment specified for delivered condition is not that of final use, it shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to provide the additional heat treatment. 3.4 Class Il and Class Il alloys are frequently ordered in the annealed condition with a maximum hardness of 400 HIB. After machining operations are performed the castings may then be hardened. If both annealing and machining are to be performed by the manufacturer, as specified in the inquiry, contract, oF ‘order, the purchaser may then specify delivery in the hardened condition. If the purchaser specifies delivery in the annealed condition, subscquent hardening (and stress-relief, if it is desired) is the responsibility of the purchaser. 6. Chemical Composition 6.1 The composition of the metal of a class and type produced under this specification shall fall within the rangesfb a sa2/A 532M prescribed in Table 1 for that class and type. 6.2 Spectrographic, X-ray, or wet chemical laboratory tech- niques are acceptable for routine and control determinations, but shall be standardized against, and give essentially the same results as, the umpire methods specified in 6.3 of this specifi- cation, 63 In case of dispute, umpire determinations of the chemi cat analysis of the metal shall be made using ASTM standard methods detailed as follows: 63.1 The following is in accordance with Test Methods 351: 63.1.1 Carbon, Total by the Combustion Gravimetric Method. 6.3.12 Chromium by the Poroxydisulfate-Oxidation Titi- ‘metric Method. 6.3.1.3 Copper by the Sulfide Electrodeposition Gravimetric Method. 63.1.4 Manganese by the Peroxydisulfate-Arsenite Titri- metric Method. Precipitation- 63.1.5 Nickel by the Dimethylglyoxime Gravimetric Method. 6.3.1.6 Phosphorus by the Molybdenum Blue Photometric Method, 63.1.7 Sulfur by the Combustion-lodate Titration Method. 6.3.2 The following is in accordance with Test Methods 350: 63.2.1 Molybdenum by the Photometric Method. 17. Microstructure 7.1 The alloys covered by this specification arc expected to have microstructures that consist essentially of carbides, mar. tensite, bainite, austenite; and in exceptional cases. minor amounts of graphite or peasite, 7.2 The microstructure will not be routinely determined nor reported except in accordance with special agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser, or in cases of dispute. ‘TABLE 1 Chemical Requlromente, Weight % cless ype Desgraton Carbon’ Manganese -—‘Siloon-—=—Nectel_ «vain Noiyo> Copper hs. | enum phon 7 Weorhe eas done Gama S380 «1440 «1.0 mex Dameron 2 Nore 2eao dmx «Bmax 3E5O | «1440 1.0 max O3max —On5 1c Noe 2587 ome Bmax «40 max 10-25 1.0 max D3max 016m 1D NHce 2536 20mx © «— 20max 4570 70-1015 max Ojomax os NA B%er 20s zomex —1mex mex LOD 30max1Zmax ONO max |G tence = 2033 «Bomex «Sma «BE mux «140-180 3.0max12max ONO max IB abuGeMe 2033 © «20max «10-22 «BE max “180-220 30max 1 2max OND a mA 25%or oes 20mx___temm ___26max 230-300 S0max__-2max_t0 max __ 00 306 8, Har 81° specifi 82° surface 9, Har 9.11 followi4) a sazva 532m aetric | 8 Hardness Requirements 9.1.1 Test Method B 10 (Brinell) using a tungsten carbide 8.1 The castings shall conform to the hardness requirements ball and 3000 kgf load, netric | specified in Table 2. 9.1.2 Test Method E 18 (Rockwell) using a diamond cone 8.2 The hardness test shall be performed on the original —_penetrator, 150 kgf load, and the Rockwell C Scale, or hog, | se ofthe casting or up to Yin. 3 mm) below that suriace. 9113 Test Method B92 (Vickers) thods | 9, Hardness Method 9.1 Perform the hardness test in accordance with one of the following methods to be specified by the purchaser: ted to ninor daor ween te. ute 6a] 045m 045 ea] 045ml 08 e| 0.06 a 0.060 207ib a 53278 532M “souesrbosyeo pues J Seousiey wi 100u revs Buns Jo SEE POELO LEN esepund ag pub scare cut uBemog uoLo.Be hq ‘Povo og prays aunperex Burdwesy Guise ayo ste eusoy 4 Hs0R STE HYOS ALE WYN "uoREES BuRsED a4 0% OF oad #0 pau HR no seOUpLEY eOdhNE UMA Doe Oy 0 ty Oo oe Es 7 33 se 3 8 1888 8 os siz oo se 2/88888 gisseas g saaaas 2/88838888 288889828 2/88888288 2/888 Glaassesss| 8 z j i oe fanaa Ea oe ae SEEPS EEE EEE EEF of rim oom EEE ESE Siem Saar a CT 308
