    Significance and Use

    These radiographs are so designed that acceptance standards, which may be developed for particular
    requirements, can be specified in terms of these radiographs. The radiographs are of castings that
    were produced under conditions designed to produce the discontinuities. These reference
    radiographs are intended to be used for casting thickness ranges in accordance with Table 1.

    The radiographic illustrations listed in Table 1 illustrate three types of discontinuities in four severity
    levels. Two ungraded illustrations have been included to establish the radiographic appearance of
    foreign material.

    These reference radiographs were produced in accordance with Guide E94. All of the references are
    original radiographs.

    Film Deterioration—Radiographic films are subject to wear and tear from handling and use. The
    extent to which the image deteriorates over time is a function of storage conditions, care in handling
    and amount of use. Reference radiograph films are no exception and may exhibit a loss in image
    quality over time. The radiographs should therefore be periodically examined for signs of wear and
    tear, including scratches, abrasions, stains, and so forth. Any reference radiographs which show
    signs of excessive wear and tear which could influence the interpretation and use of the radiographs
    should be replaced.

    1. Scope

    1.1 These reference radiographs illustrate the categories and severity levels of discontinuities that
    may occur in aluminum-alloy and magnesium-alloy die castings. They are intended to provide:

    1.1.1 A guide enabling recognition of discontinuities and their differentiation both as to type and
    severity level through radiographic examination.

    1.1.2 Example radiographic illustrations of discontinuities and a nomenclature for reference in


    acceptance standards, specifications, and drawings.

    1.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in
    parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are
    not considered standard.

    Note 1—The set of reference radiographs consists of five 8½ by 11-in. cardboard frames containing
    radiographs covering discontinuities in aluminum and magnesium alloy die castings. The first four
    frames each contain two sets of four graded levels of increasing severity, while the last frame
    contains two ungraded radiographs. The 5 frames are contained in a 10 ½ by 11½ -in. ring binder.

    Note 2—Reference radiographs applicable to aluminum and magnesium castings up to 2 in. (50 mm)
    in thickness are contained in ASTM Reference Radiographs E155, for Inspection of Aluminum and
    Magnesium Castings, Volumes I and II.

    1.2 Two kinds of illustration categories are covered as follows:

    1.2.1 Graded—Three discontinuity categories for aluminum die castings and three discontinuity
    categories for magnesium die castings, each illustrated in four levels of progressively increasing
    severity. Category A discontinuities are illustrated for aluminum and magnesium die castings having
    thicknesses of 1/8in. (3.2 mm) and 5/8 in. (15.9 mm); Category B discontinuities are illustrated for
    1
    /8-in. thick aluminum and magnesium die castings; and Category C discontinuities are illustrated for
    5
    /8-in. thick aluminum and magnesium die castings.

    1.2.2 Ungraded—One illustration of one discontinuity for 0.20-in. (5.1-mm) thickness aluminum die
    casting; and one illustration of one discontinuity for 1/8-in. (3.2-mm) thickness magnesium die
    casting.

    1.3 This document may be used for other materials, thicknesses, or with other energy levels for
    which it has been found to be applicable and agreement has been reached between the purchaser
    and manufacturer.

    1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its
    use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
    practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
