FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 16 June 1986, after the draft finalized by the Pig
Iron and Cast Iron Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Structural and Metals Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1970. While reviewing this standard in the light of the experience gained during these years, the Committee
has decided to revise this standard aligning it with other existing standards on the subject.
0.3 This standard keeps in view the manufacturing and trade practice
being followed in the country in this field. Assistance has also been
derived from ASTM A-395-1980 - Ferritic ductile iron pressure retaining
castings for use at elevated temperatures, issued by the American Society
of Testing and Materials.
0.4 This standard contains clauses which require the purchaser agreement and/o: to specify these requirements, if necessary, while placing the
order.
9.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS : 2-1960. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
*Rules for roundingoff numerical values ( rsviscd) .

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for iron castings with spheroidal or nodular graphite for pressure containing parts for use at elevated
temperatures.
2. SUPPLY

OF MATERIAL

2.1 General requirements relating to the supply of the material

as laid down in IS : 1387-1967*.

shall be

3. MANUFACTURE
3.1 The method of manufacture shall be left to the discretion of the manufacturer provided that the castings conform to this standard.
4. CHEMICAL

COMPOSITION

4.1 The castings, when tested in accordance

have the following chemical composition:

with IS : 228-1972t,

Constituent

+hall

Percent

Total carbon, Min

Silicon, Max
Phosphorus, Max

3-O
2.50
0.08

NOTE1 - For each reduction of 001 percent below the maximum specified
phosphorus content, an,increase of 0?08 percent silicon above the specified maximum
will be permitted,up to a maximum of 275 percent.
NOTE2 - Silicon content above 275 percent, or phosphorus above 0.08 percent
have a tendency to lower the impact resistance of the material.
If the carbon content is below 3.00 percent, excessive cementite may form during cooling and if this
is not removed during the annealing cycle, the impact resistance of the material
may be lowered.

5. WORKMANSHIP

AND FINISH

5.1 The castings shall be accurately moulded in accordance with the

pattern of working drawings supplied by the purchaser with the addition
of such letters, figures or marks as may be specified.
5.2 The drawings shall specify the tolerance on all important dimensions.
On other dimensions, the toltrance
specified in IS : 8350-1977$ shall
apply.

6. HEAT

TREATMENT

6.1 All castings shall be~given a ferritizing heat treatment to ensure uniform mechanical properties throughout each section and to produce substantially a ferritic structure that contains no massive carbides.
6.2 When specified in the purchase order, castings with mechanical properties obtained as cast may have a stress relief heat treatment at a
minimum temperature of 550C.
7. FREEDOM

FROM

DEFECTS

7.1 The castings shall be free from surface defects, such as adhering sand
and shall be reasonably smooth. The runners, risers, fin.9and other extraneous metals shall be removed from the castings. They shall be well dressed
and fettled.
7.2 The castings shall not~berepaired by welding or brazing but may be
plugged in case they leak on hydrostatic test, provided that the diameter
of the plug does not exceed 50 mm. The details of the plugging of the
casting may be agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
Also any inherent defect revealed during subsequent machining, notwithstanding any previous certificate of satisfactory testing might make the
-castings liable to rejection.
8. TEST

SAMPLES

8.1 Test samples shall be cast separately in sand moulds. They shall be
poured from the same ladle of metal as that used to produce the castings
they iepresent and immediately after the castings are poured. Some additional recommendations
regarding casting the test samples are given in
Appendix A.
8.1.1 The test pieces used for the test specified in 10.1 and 10.2 shall be
machined from one of the following type of test samples:
a) U-ty#e test samples - The test piece shall be machined from the keei
( that is, the cross-hatched section of Fig. 1 ),
b) 22yfie test samples - The test piece shall be machined from the keel
( that is, the cross-hatched section of Fig. 2 ), and
c)

Knock-oJ type test samples -See

Fig. 3.

8.1.2 In principle, test sample Type IIa or IIb of 25 mm effective

thickness, shall be used; however, if its mass differs widely from, the casting
it represents, another test sample type may be used, by agreement between
the manufacturer and the purchaser.

9. SAMPLING
9.1 Sampling for Chemical Analysis - Two spoon samples shall be
taken during the pouring .of each cast or ladle when about one-third and
two-thirds of the metal has been discharged.
The spoon sainples so
obtained shall be cast separately in dry sand in the form ,of 30 mm
diameter bars about 75 mm long. Alternatively, the mould may be filled
directly from the metal stream; The test bars shall be suitably marked so
that the castings they represent could be identified.

9.1.1 After cleaning the surface, two flats shall be ground near the
bottom of each test bar and the test bar drilled with a 25 mm drill from
one clean surface to the other. The speed of the drill should not be more
than 9 to 10 rev/min. Drillings after being thoroughly mixed shall constitute the sample for chemical analysis.
9.1.2 For the determination
of total carbon the molten metal shall be
-poured into a special split mould ( see Fig. 4 ). This gives pins of iron
3 mm in diameter which have solidified white and which can be broken off
and used direct for total carbon determination.
Carbon determination
from drillings taken from grey samples shall not be done.

due to the quality of the cast iron itself, but to any of the following
reasons:

b) Defective casting or machining of the test piece;

c) Fracture of the tensile test piece beyond the gauge marks; and
d) Casting defects in the test piece, evident after fracture.

12.1.1 The batch is regarded as conforming to the specified requirements when the results of the two re-tests conform to the values specified
in the standard. However, the batch may be rejected if one of the re-tests
fails.
12.2 Should the samples of castings supplied in the heat-treated condition

APPENDIX

( Clause 8.1 )
RECOMMENDATIONS

FOR CASTING

OF TEST SAMPLES

A-l. The test sample may be cast in sand to any convenient size and
shape, .provided the sample is sound and free from any casting -defect.
A-l.1 Suitable samples for providing a proportional sound tensile test
piece are represented in Fig. 1, 2 and 3. These keel or U-blocks have
been found satisfactory in service.
A-I.2 A convenient form of test sample cut from one of the castings, as
agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer, may be used for
the purpose of testing strength of the casting.
A-I.3 In case of sand moulds for test samples of Type III and IV ( see
Fig. 1 and 2 ), a rigid COB sand mould is recommended.

(Page 4, clause
following for the existing clause:

the

'4.1 The chemical composition of the castings when

determined in accordance with the methods specified
in IS:228-1959* and/or any of its relevant part or
by any other established instrumental/chemical
method, shall be as given below:

In case of dispute the procedure specified in

X:228-1959* or in its relevant part shall be the
referee method.
No~te 1 - For each reduction of 0.01 percent
the
maximum
below
specified
phosphorus
content, an increase of 0.08 percent silicon
above the specified maximum will be permitted
up to a maximum of 2.75 percent.

*
.

Note 2 - Silicon content above 2.75 percent,

or phosphorus above 0.08 percent have a tendency
to lower the impact resistance of the material. If
the carbon content is below 3.0 percent, excessive
cementfte may form during cooling and if this is
not removed during the annealing cycle, the impact
resistance of the material may be lowered.'
