3.7.3 The welders undertaking welding repair work shall have corresponding
qualifications.
3.7.4 Unless otherwise agreed by the supplier and the buyer, if the depth of the
welding groove (pit) exceeds 40% of the wall thickness OR 25 mm (whichever
is the less), it belongs to major welding repair, which shall be agreed in advance
by the buyer, AND be with such records as welding conditions, welding repair
location, scope and so on.
3.7.5 It shall select suitable welding consumables AND finish the welding
procedure assessment, before welding. As for the casting to be subjected to
major welding repair, it shall be subjected to post-weld heat treatment.
3.7.6 After welding repair, the castings shall be inspected in accordance with
the same standard for castings inspection.
3.8 Correction
If the castings have deformation, it is allowed to correct it; AND the corrected
castings shall be subjected to stress relief treatment.
4 Test methods
4.1 Chemical analysis
4.1.1 Chemical composition arbitration analysis method shall be in accordance
with GB/T 223.4, GB/T 223.5, GB/T 223.9, GB/T 223.11, GB/T 223.14, GB/T
223.23, GB/T 223.26 , GB/T 223.36, GB/T 223.40, GB/T 223.43, GB/T 223.59,
GB/T 223.67, and GB/T 223.69.
4.1.2 Spectral analysis shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of
GB/T 4336.
4.2 Mechanical properties test
4.2.1 Tensile test shall be conducted in accordance with GB/T 228.1.
4.2.2 The impact test shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of
GB/T 229.
4.3 Non-destructive testing
4.3.1 Unless otherwise specified, the casting surface magnetic particle testing
shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 9444.
sample's impact value to be below the value as specified in Table 2, BUT it shall
not be less than 2/3 of the specified value.
5.2.6 The test results of mechanical properties that do not meet the specified
requirements are considered to be invalid for the following reasons.
a) The sample is not properly installed OR the test machine is not functioning
properly;
b) The tensile test sample breaks apart beyond the gauge length;
c) Improper sample preparation;
d) There is an abnormality in the sample.
In the case of one of the above cases, it shall take sample from the same test
block (casting) or another test block (casting) of same batch to conduct test
again, AND the test results can replace the bad test results.
5.2.7 Where the results of the mechanical properties test are not satisfactory
AND are not due to the reasons listed in 5.2.6, it is allowed to use the standby
sample from the same furnace to conduct re-test. As for the tensile test, TAKE
2 samples for re-test; if the test results of the both samples are qualified, this
tensile test can be judged as qualified; otherwise it is not qualified. As for the
impact test, TAKE 3 samples for re-test; if the test results of the 3 samples are
qualified, AND the arithmetic mean value of the 6 samples (3 for initial test and
3 for re-test) is also qualified, the impact test results can be judged as qualified;
otherwise it is not qualified.
5.2.8 When the results of the mechanical properties re-test still do not meet the
requirements in Table 2, it is allowed to make the castings and test pieces be
subjected to heat treatment again, AND then conduct re-test in accordance with
5.2.4 or 5.2.5. Unless otherwise agreed by the buyer, the number of re-heat
treatment shall not exceed 2 (except for tempering).
5.3 Appearance quality
The appearance quality of the castings shall be inspected in accordance with
3.5 one by one.
5.4 Non-destructive testing
In accordance with the ordering requirements of the buyer, the casting can be
subjected to penetration, magnetic particle, ultrasonic or radiographic testing.
The required testing methods, location and acceptance criteria shall be agreed
upon between the supplier and the buyer.
