ISO 4990:2015(E)


6.2.2 Sampling, preparation of test pieces, and mechanical and chemical test methods and
requirements

6.2.2.1 Test blocks

The test blocks may be cast separately, attached to the castings or cast integrally on the castings. When
more than one ladle is used, the test block shall be cast integrally. They shall be produced from the
same cast (heat) of steel and shall be heat treated in the production furnaces to the same procedure as
the casting(s) they represent.
Unless otherwise specified, the test block shall be 28 mm minimum and the test pieces used for the
mechanical tests shall be taken from test blocks with their axes at least 7 mm from the surface. See
B.6.1.2 and B.6.1.3.
The test results represent the material from which the castings have been poured. They do not
necessarily represent the properties of the castings. These can be affected by solidification conditions
and the rate of cooling during heat treatment, which are in turn influenced by casting thickness, size,
and shape.

6.2.2.2 Mechanical tests

6.2.2.2.1 Tensile tests at room temperature

One tensile test shall be carried out per test lot (see 6.2.3.1). The shape, dimensions, and method shall
comply with ISO 6892-1. The test results shall comply with the specification for the grade of material
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
ordered.
(standards.iteh.ai)
6.2.2.2.2 Impact test
ISO 4990:2015
When the test is specified, https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/c4eb9523-7273-4eda-aae7-
it shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 148-1. Three Charpy test pieces
with V-notches shall be prepared. The test 680d337bc39d/iso-4990-2015
temperature shall be as shown in the material specification.
The average value of absorbed energy from the three test pieces shall not be less than the value indicated
in the material specification for the grade specified. Only one of the three values may be below but not
less than 70 % of the minimum specified value.

6.2.2.3 Retests

6.2.2.3.1 Test results not in compliance with the specification are not valid when due to any one of the
following conditions:

— defective assembly of the test piece or abnormal functioning of the test machine;
— defective manufacture of the test pieces;
— break in the tensile-test piece outside the reference marks;
— anomalies shown in the test piece.
In all cases, a new test piece shall be taken from the same test block or from another test block belonging
to the same test lot and the results obtained can be substituted for those corresponding to the defective
piece.

6.2.2.3.2 Except as provided, when the results of the test do not comply with the requirements of the
material standard, the manufacturer shall, unless otherwise agreed upon at the time of enquiry and
order, adopt one of the procedures specified below.

a) Repeat the test which failed on two additional test pieces. If any of the two new test pieces do not
give the specification requirements, the manufacturer may follow the procedure specified in c).

4  © ISO 2015 – All rights reserved


ISO 4990:2015(E)


b) In the case of impact tests, if the average value obtained from the three tests does not reach the
minimum specified value or if one of the individual values does not reach the specified minimum
(i.e. 70 % of the minimum specified value), the manufacturer may test three additional test pieces.
The additional test pieces shall be selected from the same test block or from another block from
the same heat and heat treated test lot to represent the castings in question. The results from these
additional tests shall be added to the results previously obtained and the average recalculated. If
this new average satisfies the average value specified, the material represented may be considered
to satisfy the requirements of the material standard. Where the new average value does not satisfy
the specified requirements, or any one of the new values is less than 70 % of the minimum specified
value, the manufacturer may then follow the procedure specified in c).
c) Submit the castings and test blocks to a new heat treatment within the limits of the material
standard and then carry out all the tests required in the material standard on the test blocks. In any
case, the castings and test bars shall not be submitted to more than two additional heat treatments
(excluding tempering) without the approval of the purchaser.

6.2.2.4 Chemical composition

The chemical composition determined from the cast (heat) sample shall meet the requirements of
the specification of the grade selected. When more than one ladle is used to pour a single casting, an
analysis of each ladle is required and the analysis of each ladle shall meet the requirements of the
specification of the selected grade.
Samples for chemical analysis shall be obtained and prepared in accordance with ISO 14284. When
chips are taken, they shall be removed at least 6 mm below the cast surface when the cast wall section
is greater than 15 mm.iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
In case of a dispute, an analysis(standards.iteh.ai)
may be carried out, subject to the agreement of the purchaser and
manufacturer. This analysis is made on samples used for cast (heat) analysis or on test blocks or test
pieces from the cast (heat): in these casesISO the 4990:2015
permissible deviations in Table 1 apply.

6.2.3 Inspection and testing of castings and requirements for surface appearance and
dimensions

6.2.3.1 Formation of test lots

The method of forming test lots shall be stated in the order. The size of the test lot may be defined in
terms of mass or number of castings; e.g. it may be carried out as follows:
a) by batch: the products may come from different heats of the same grade and/or from different
heat treatments having the same cycles, which may or may not be identified. In this case, the
batch is limited to a number of castings or to a tonnage fixed between the parties concerned and
constituting the unit of acceptance;
b) by heat: the products are of the same type. They come from the same heat and have undergone the
same heat treatment in the same furnace;
c) by piece: for certain products where made necessary by technical requirements;
d) by supplementary agreement.

6.2.3.2 Non-destructive tests

Examination of the accessible surfaces of the casting shall be carried out visually (see B.9.5).
Unless otherwise specified at the time of the enquiry and order, the castings shall be delivered in the
unmachined condition, trimmed, with heads and gates removed. Accessible surfaces shall be free from
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
adhering sand and heat treatment scale.
(standards.iteh.ai)
The castings may be subjected to certain non-destructive testing (liquid penetrant, magnetic particle,
radiography, ultrasonic testing; see B.9.1 to B.9.4).
ISO 4990:2015
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/c4eb9523-7273-4eda-aae7-
6.2.3.3 Shapes, dimensions, and680d337bc39d/iso-4990-2015
dimensional tolerances

The shapes and dimensions of the casting shall comply with the requirements of the order, whether in
the form of drawing, pattern, or template. Unless specified by the purchaser, the location of the datum
points for dimensional inspection and machining shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer.
In case of dispute, verification of the dimensions shall be carried out on castings in the as-delivered
state.

7 Marking
By agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer, each casting shall be marked. Unless specified
by the purchaser, the locations of the markings shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer. The
marks may include the following:
a) symbol of the manufacturer;
b) test lot identification;
c) grade designation (name or number) of the cast;
d) other marks requested by the purchaser.
These marks shall be located at a place agreed upon by the purchaser and manufacturer.
By agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer, small castings may be batched and the
identifying marks applied to a label attached to each batch.
