WI Grain Flow Examination

This 3-page document provides a procedure for grain flow examination of forgings. Key steps include taking a sample from the head end of a forging, polishing the surface, etching it in hydrochloric acid, and examining it under low magnification for continuous grain flow lines. The head and head-to-shank area should show continuous flow, while some cut lines may exist in other areas up to specified maximums depending on the forging's diameter. Observations are recorded on Form F-8220.

1.0 PURPOSE :

To detail the procedure of Grain Flow Examination.

2.0 SCOPE :

Applicable only to forging operation.

3.0 DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS :

3.1 Macro-examination is an inspection procedure for revealing the Grain Flow lines in
the steel samples by subjecting the sample to the corrosive action of an etchant and
examining it visually or at low magnification.

4.0 DESCRIPTION :

ACTIVITY REFERENCE

4.1 Take one sample whenever grain flow testing required as per given offer.

4.2 Remove dust, oil if any and cut the piece from head end in the longitudinal
direction. Further, polish the sample on the Belt Grinder to improve the surface
finish.

4.3 The sample should be surface etched in a 50% solution of Boiling HCI and water for
approx.15 min.

4.4 Wash the samples and dry.

4.5 Examine the sample visually for continuous Grain Flow.
