Casting Repair?
Casting Repair?
(OP)
Hello All
The casting which came out of foundry had defect. There is a defect repair procedure in place.
The question is if the casting came out with 5 major defects (in the same casting)(Material A 216 WCB 16" 300# rating), can we permit repair to be conducted.
What is the population and distribution of defects beyond which repair cannot be tolerated.
Are there any standard (ISO, BS EN, ASTM, ASME Publication, API, AWWA etc) which addresses such problem?
Regards

Then it's nothing strange that a casting have been reparired that it's quite normal.
The point it's not the condition of the casting before the reparatiuon but what is the quality after the reparation.
A casting repaired in right way is more safe than a casting not repaired.
