1 SFSA Supplement 3 DIMENSIONAL CAPABILITIES OF STEEL CASTINGS 1. Introduction Dimensional tolerances are selected by the designer or purchaser to make sure that the part can perform its function reliably and fit into its designed location. Assigning dimensions to a part requires identifying the desired feature size. Tolerances communicate how much variation from the desired size can be tolerated. Overly stringent tolerances are costly and do not add value. They require added work to meet tolerances that may be beyond the process capability. Inadequate tolerances are a problem because parts may be able to meet the tolerance but fail to either fit or function in accordance with the design. To assign dimensions and tolerances to a part that is produced as a casting involves consideration of function and fit of the finished part, allowances for machining operations involved in producing the finished part, and production requirements such as draft and taper. Allowances for castings and the major tolerance considerations in the production of parts as steel castings are presented below. Along with this information a set of tolerance grades is introduced to facilitate communication on tolerances. 2. Allowances The shapes of cast steel components reflect not only the functional requirements of the component, but also manufacturability requirements dictated by the casting process. Castings shapes must incorporate the proper use of draft allowances for successful mold making and machining allowances for surfaces requiring more precision and better surface finishes than can be achieved in the as-cast conditions. Draft and machine finish allowance guidelines and practices are presented to assist in the specification of draft and machining allowances for castings. Similarly, size or pattern allowances must be incorporated into the production of patterns and coreboxes from which steel castings are made. These pattern allowances (sometimes call shrink rules) must also be correctly applied to ensure that final castings can meet customer dimensional tolerance requirements without extra pattern dimension adjustment cycles. Other castability guidelines that influence the recommended geometry of steel castings are discussed in “Steel Casting Design”. 1 2.1 Draft (Taper) Allowances Draft should be designated on the casting drawing in consultation with the casting producer— typically in a drawing note. The draft angle selected should be no less than can be tolerated in the design. Figure 2.1 illustrates the use of draft on a typical pattern and corebox. 2 Figure 2.1 - Schematic illustration of a full split pattern and core box to produce a wheel- type casting. Note that draft is required on the vertical surfaces to allow the pattern to be drawn away from the mold. The core that will be made in the core box will form a cylindrical cavity to reduce machining. 2.1.1 Draft (Taper) Allowance Recommendations Table 2.1 presents general draft recommendations for steel castings. To ensure moldability, it is helpful to meet or exceed these draft allowances indicated on all surfaces perpendicular to the mold parting line. Table 2.1: Typical Draft (Taper) Allowances Typical Draft (Taper) Angles Molding Process Most Features Deep Pockets Green Sand - Manual 1.5 ° 2.0 ° Green Sand - Automated 1.0 ° 1.5 ° No-bake & shell molding 1.0 ° 1.5 ° 2.1.2 Factors Affecting Recommended Draft Allowances Machine molding will require a minimum amount of draft. Interior surfaces in green sand molds usually require more draft than exterior surfaces. Draft can be eliminated in some cases through special molding techniques, such as investment casting or through the use of cores. These situations and the specific amount of draft required should be discussed with personnel of the foundry that will produce the casting. 3 A specific dimensional tolerance on a drafted surface is generally referenced from the drafted surface rather than from the surface dimension before draft is applied. That is, draft is added to casting surfaces first before dimensional tolerances or geometric tolerances applied, Figure 2.2. Draft allowances can be incorporated into dimensional tolerances or geometric tolerances only upon consultation with the foundry. The dimensional changes needed to incorporate draft can be expressed as follows: DA = L tan � Where: DA = Draft allowance L = Length � = Draft angle 4 Figure 2.3 Dimensional tolerance zones on drafted (tapered) features (CT is the casting dimensional tolerance as defined in ISO- 8062) 2.2 Required Machining Allowance Guideline Castings that are to be machined must have sufficient metal stock on all surfaces requiring machining. The necessary allowance, commonly called the required machining allowance (RMA), machine finish allowance, or machining allowance, depends upon the size and shape of the casting, the surface to be machined, the hardness of the steel, roughness of the casting surface, and the tendency to distort. The required machining allowance is superimposed upon draft and pattern allowances. Required machining allowances are typically called out in drawings with a general note. 5 2.2.1 Required Machining Allowance Table 2.2 - Required machining allowances (RMA) in millimeters for steel castings based on ISO 8062.

They may be reduced for high production run castings when adequate preliminary consultation and machining trials have been carried out. Machine allowances for castings of very large size, such as greater than 15 ft (5000mm), should be determined through consultation with the foundry. The required machining allowance, when considered along with the casting feature dimensional tolerance, should be interpreted as shown in Figure 2.4. 7 A – Machining on one side of feature B – External machining of boss 8 C – Internal machining D – Machining of step dimension Figure 2.4 Interpretation of required machining allowances along with casting feature tolerances. The dimensional allowance to be added to the casting section for machining purposes will depend on the design of the casting. Certain faces of a casting may require larger allowances than others as a result of their position in the mold. In particular, the cope surfaces of a large casting will require larger machining allowances than the drag surfaces or side walls. For cope surfaces in particular required machining allowances for cope surfaces of less than 0.25 inches (6mm) are generally not recommended. For this reason, it is recommended that critical machined surfaces be molded in the drag whenever possible. Sufficient excess metal should be allowed to satisfactorily accomplish the necessary machining operations. One very good rule is to allow enough “machining stock” so that the first cut remains below the cast surface on the metal by at least 1/16 in. (1.5 mm). Required machining allowances must be chosen with care. Critical surfaces that are fixtured using as-cast locators are sometimes preferred to avoid excess machine stock on critical surfaces. 9 3. Dimensional Tolerances Tolerances for dimensions of as-cast features are a matter for agreement between the producer and purchaser (We do not know who the consumer is) of the castings. However, to minimize the rejection of castings for dimensional reasons, the tolerances selected should be compatible with the capability of the process selected. Tolerances affect the cost and delivery of the castings. Most castings have only a few critical dimensions which require tight tolerances. Placing tight tolerances on dimensions which are not critical merely increases the final casting cost without benefit to the purchaser. However, where tolerances tighter than the process can normally produce are required, dimensional upgrading using one of the operations discussed later may be the least expensive method of satisfying the requirements. The best way to make this determination is through a joint effort in a value engineering or value analysis project. Good communications of requirements on the one hand and the processes needed to meet them on the other is the key. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has issued, ISO 8062, Castings – System of Dimensional Tolerances. This standard provides a system of tolerances and machining allowances for all castings, including steel castings. It assigns different dimensional tolerance grades based on the metal cast, the molding process used, the length of the casting feature, and the production quantity. The ISO 8062-1994 tolerancing scheme is the basis from which improved dimensional tolerances for steel castings have been developed by the SFSA. These SFSA 2000 steel casting dimensional tolerances should be used instead of the specific steel casting tolerance recommendation contained within ISO-8062-1994 for steel castings. These new dimensional tolerance also supersede the 1997 (SFSA developed) “T grades” dimensional tolerances. The production quantities, the casting design and the dimension type play an important role in determining the tolerances which can be met with the process because the complex contraction behavior of steel during solidification and cooling must be adequately compensated for in the construction of the pattern. The production of castings in large numbers usually provides the opportunities to make dimensional adjustments in pattern equipment or to compensate for unpredictable casting contraction behavior with one or more reverse engineering steps. These costly reverse engineering steps to adjust pattern dimensions are a function of the dimensional tolerance requirements established by the customer as well as the foundry’s process variability. The SFSA-2000 dimensional tolerances presented here are based on a statistical analysis of more than 140,000 casting features on production steel castings weighing from 6.5 to 12,000 lbs. for common steel molding processes. The dimensional capabilities from which these tolerances have been developed account for both the expected casting process variability and dimension centering errors that can be expected for typical short production series and long production series casting production, Tables 3.1-3.4. 10 3.1 SFSA 2000 Dimensional Tolerances for Steel Castings Table 3.1 Casting dimensional tolerance grades from ISO 8062-1994.

Comprehensive SFSA steel casting dimensional capability studies have developed more detailed information on the process and geometric factors influencing the repeatability of steel casting dimensions. Overall industry dimensional capabilities as well as the capabilities of individual foundries are fully described. This information can be used by foundries to benchmark their dimensional capabilities, and to better quantify the effects of key variables affecting dimensional capabilities. The dimensional capability data presented here includes measurement uncertainty multiplying factors applied to the dimensional variability data from which it is based. This accounts for small non-centering errors expected during tooling validation sampling. The short production series dimensional capability prediction equations include a larger multiplying factor that accounts for non-centering errors from less rigorous sampling for tooling validation. Casting dimensional tolerance capabilities are expressed in terms of 10%, 50%, and 90% capabilities as follows: 10% Capability = 10% of the feature capabilities were less than this limit. 50% Capability = Average capability. 90% Capability = 90% of the feature capabilities were less than this limit. Figures 3.6-3.8 show the 10%, 50%, and 90% dimensional capabilities of 15 steel foundries using various sand molding processes compared to ISO casting tolerance (CT) grades. The foundry-to- foundry differences in dimensional capabilities reflect the broad range of casting sizes and shapes produced and the different sand molding processes used, as well as differences in process control. These keys factors influencing dimensional capabilities are presented here as a guide to both the casting customer and the casting producer. 13 3.2.1 Production Quantity Issues The production of castings in large numbers usually provides the opportunities to make dimensional adjustments in pattern equipment or to compensate for unpredictable casting contraction behavior with one or more reverse engineering steps. These costly reverse engineering steps to achieve dimensions may only be appropriate for high production castings. It requires the detailed dimensional characterization of many “first article” castings prior to making accurate pattern adjustments. Figure 3.1 illustrates the influence of centering on overall dimensional capabilities. The thoroughness of the casting dimensional inspection required to make adequate pattern adjustments depends on the tolerances assigned to a feature as well as to the foundries process variability. Figure 3.1 Schematic representation of total dimensional capability including sampling Uncertainty errors (e) The number of replicate castings that must be inspected to minimize the “centering error” component of dimensional capability depends on the ratio of the foundry’s process capability compared to the casting dimensional tolerances required. This has been termed the “process capability ratio” (PCR). PCR = Total process variability Total customer tolerance Table 3.5 indicates minimum desired lot sizes to be used for sample casting inspection based on the process capability ratio. The process capability ratio is the ratio of the foundries expected feature dimensional variability (6�) compared to the castin
