Testing
Volume, surface, mechanical and chemical inspection, planned into the route rather than added at the end.
| Test | Method | Applied to |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasonic | AMS-STD-2154 | Internal soundness of forgings and bar |
| Penetrant | ASTM E165 | Surface-breaking defects |
| Magnetic particle | ASTM E709 | Ferromagnetic grades |
| PMI | 100% on bolting | Grade identity, piece by piece |
| Tensile | ASTM E8 | Yield, tensile, elongation, reduction |
| Hardness | Brinell or Rockwell | Heat treatment response |
| Grain size | ASTM E112 | Where the specification calls for it |
UT class and NDT timing are set at enquiry. Re-inspecting after shipment is not the same as inspecting to the specified class before it.
Documents
- EN 10204 3.1 material certificate with the heat number and measured values
- EN 10204 3.2 where a third party witnesses, booked before the test
- Dimensional report for the marked dimensions
- Separate NDT report per specification
