Work Item
ASTM WK71881
Revision of A957/A957M-18a Standard Specification for Investment Castings, Steel and Alloy, Common Requirements, for General Industrial Use
Rationale
Ballot 1: Add a note to Terminology: A941 controlling cross section thickness (Tc) was added for forgings and shall not apply to castings, which provide complex shapes including internal geometry (rationale is both the challenge in determining a Tc for casting and who shall be responsible for it; also casting standards already use casting ruling section T). Ballot 2: Update mechanical testing: a. For consistency and conciseness, add note 1 from A781 to explain text bar relationship. b. For consistency and conciseness, revise sampling, mechanical testing and charpy testing.
