1、Designation:A518/A518M99(Reapproved 2018)Standard Specification forCorrosion-Resistant High-Silicon Iron Castings1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A518/A518M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year
2、 of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers high-si
3、licon cast iron castingsintended for corrosion-resistant service.1.2 This specification covers three grades as shown in Table1.Selection of grade depends on the corrosive service to beexperienced by the casting.All three grades are suited forapplication in severe corrosive environments.However,Grade
4、2 is particularly suited for application in strong chlorideenvironments,and Grade 3 is recommended for impressedcurrent anodes.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,
5、eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Section 9,of this specification:Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the s
6、afety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety,health,andenvironmental practices and determine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with
