    Charpy testing CD4MCuN castings

    My customer is going to buy the castings but cannot use them as upgrades for their current order. I am going to duplicate this order to meet their upgrade requirement but pour plenty of test blocks with each heat so this doesn't happen again. Any suggestions on a good reliable ISO qualified...

    Charpy testing CD4MCuN castings

    Thanks for your responses. The material specification is A995 Grade 1B. Nitrogen content was from .23 to .25% The lab work was done by a Bodycote lab in California. The metallurgy results for the four heats read as follows: "Ferite-point count conforms, Exhibits 45.27%* ferrite. Etch/Mag...

    Charpy testing CD4MCuN castings

    GRoberts, Thanks for your response. I've discovered that three of these heats had slightly elevated carbons, max C was .047. What bearing could this have on these Charpy results or the microstructure? Foundry1

    Charpy testing CD4MCuN castings

    We are looking for a 3-sample result with a minimum average of of 45J and minimum individual of 36J. Temperature is -10C. There were 4 heats sampled. The following chart displays the mechanical results along with the average of each charpy tests. HRB YIELD TEN. ELONG RA...

    Charpy testing CD4MCuN castings

    I am looking for the causes of low Charpy test results for ASTM A995 gr 1B (CD4MCuN) castings. All other mechanical & metallurgical results meets requirements but the Charpy results are 50% below the acceptance criteria. I know the problem is in heat treat (SA + WQ) but I am not exactly sure...
