1.0 SCOPE
This standard covers the inspection of castings used in mining crushers including first
piece and subsequent production castings.
The casting drawing specifies the Metso material standard required for the casting. The
drawing may also note any deviations to the material standard. The supplier must confirm
chemical and mechanical properties meet requirements as specified by Metso material
standard. The material test reports must be submitted to Metso QA.
Hardness testing location, quantity and tensile test location are specified by drawing or
ITP. If the drawing does not contain hardness testing or test coupon location, the
supplier must contact prior to start of manufacturing Metso QA for instructions.
3.0 IDENTIFICATION
Castings delivered to Metso shall be marked according to the Metso Marking Instruction
for Castings. The location of identification markings is indicated on the drawings or in
Metso technical specification. The supplier must retain records that can be traceable to
individual casting to individual melting batch and its analysis.
Foundry is required to supply molding and process information such as locations of gates
and risers to Metso quality department prior to 1 st article piece production. Computer
mold solidification analysis should be performed within one month of initial order. A
report of the mold solidification analysis is not required, but the method and results
should be available for discussion upon request from Metso. If design changes are
required or suggested, the foundry is to initiate discussion with Metso Engineering and
QA department. Design changes must be approved by Metso and documented with
drawing revisions.
Lifting features may or may-not be included in the casting drawing. If the foundry adds
their own lifting features to the casting, it is their responsibility to appropriately size this
lifting feature. Lifting features must be removed if not shown on the finished machine
drawing.
Inspection of the First Article Production piece is termed FAI (First Article Inspection). FAI
requires that all cast dimensions generated, this includes but not limited to radii, draft
angle(s) and thicknesses, must be inspected to prove out the pattern and foundry
process. Casting tolerances are indicated on drawing or Inspection Test Plan (ITP).

PROCEDURE 02 4 of 15
Additional NDT inspection may be required for FAI and it is the supplier’s responsibility to
make arrangements with Metso QA prior start of production to verify the inspection plan.
Unless otherwise specified by drawing, the castings surface visual acceptance criteria are
defined in the Metso material standard specified for the casting. The acceptance criteria
are based on SCRATA specifications (surface comparator plates determined by the Steel
Casting Research and Trade Association).
Surface texture A3
Gas porosity C3

PROCEDURE 02 5 of 15
The visual examination records shall contain at least the following information:
· the identification of the casting (item code and casting batch number)
· the designated category and specified level for each area examined
· the results of the examination with date and signature of examiner
The examination shall be carried out by sufficiently trained and experienced personnel. If
possible Quality personnel performing visual inspection shall be qualified and certified as
Level II in accordance with requirements of SNT-TC-1A or EN ISO 9712.
Visual examination shall be completed without the use of optical aids (not including
personal eyeglasses). The inspection area will be adequately illuminated to insure proper
evaluation of test surfaces. A minimum light intensity of 100 foot-candles (1000 Lx) is
required on the surface to be examined.
The manufactured part, after machining, must be dimensionally inspected by the supplier
to assure that is within the requirements and drawings. The main tolerances will be
shown in the drawing.
The dimensional inspection records shall contain at least the following information:
· The identification of the component (PO, item code and drawing number);
· The information of main dimensions according to the drawing or defined inspection
plan.
· The record must inform, at least, the drawing dimension, the tolerance expected
and real dimension after manufacturing
· The record must contain the rejected dimensions and the action plan or Metso
plan for rework.
· In case of rejection, a new report is required after completion of repair(s)
· The name, title, date of inspection and signature of inspector;
Note: Supplier is responsible for inspection and recorded data for all features generated.
If supplier subcontracts any operation specified in Metso drawings or standards, Metso’s
Quality and Procurement department must be notified and supplier must indicate sub-
supplier and operation subcontracted. This does not relieve or mitigate Metso’s supplier
of their responsibility under purchase order requirements.

PROCEDURE 02 6 of 15
This procedure defines the minimum requirements and acceptance criteria for magnetic
particle inspection used for detection of surface discontinuities on the castings (as casting
surface, rough machined surfaces and final machined surfaces).
Unless otherwise specified, magnetic particle testing shall be performed after the
completion of operations that could cause surface or near surface defects. Such
operations include, but are not limited to, heat treating, welding, grinding, straightening
and machining. Magnetic particle testing shall be done of 100% of castings and 100% of
casting surface.
The magnetic particle inspection records shall contain at least the following information:
Surface should be dry and free of dirt, oil, grease, loose rust, loose scale, sand/slag,
machining marks or any other contaminants or conditions that might restrict the particle
movement or interfere with the efficiency of the inspection. Grit blast as-cast surfaces and
hand dress areas where grit blast cannot reach Surface texture must be at least:
SCRATA – A3.

5.4.1.4 METHOD
MPI procedure per ASTM E709 WET method, prods can be used for as casting or rough
machined surface. If prods are used, remove all arc marks from surfaces that will not be
machined by grinding and blending, MPI arc mark grind outs with yokes. Final machined
surfaces shall be done by yoke.
Unless otherwise specified on ITP, purchase order or drawing the following requirements
shall apply.
Foundry must mark all defects to be excavated. The defect map is required prior to
approval of the welding repair. Linear and non-linear discontinuities (cracks and pores)
should be evaluated by ASTM A903 – Level II.
Unless otherwise specified on ITP, purchase order and drawing the following
requirements shall apply and shall be evaluated according ASTM E125 with the following
acceptance criteria:
Surface should be dry and free of dirt, oil, grease, loose rust, loose scale, sand/slag,
machining marks or any other contaminants or conditions that might interfere with the
efficiency of the inspection.
5.5.5 METHODS
Examination must be performed per ASTM E317 and ASTM A609, unless otherwise
specified in the ITP. Examination shall include 3 test methods: Longitudinal element, Dual
element and Angle beam.

Note: For angle beam the casting shall be scanned both ways in two perpendicular
directions.
The acceptable quality levels for critical areas specified in Metso drawings or ITP and for
all other areas are defined in Table 3. Any discontinuity exceeding one of the criteria
shall be considered as unacceptable.
Examination Method Critical Areas Other Areas - Quality Level ASTM A609 Table
Foundry to mark all defects to be excavated. An excavation and weld map of all “minor”
and “major defect(s) is required to be submitted.
If it was necessary to remove defects by thermal removal process the general surface
requirements for finish surface of the cavity shall be: G2 (SCRATA).
Small surface defects not meeting acceptable standards shall be corrected by grinding
and/or rotary filing, providing that drawing tolerances are maintained.
When weld repair is required, welding procedures (WPS / PQR) and welder qualification
(WPQR) shall be done in accordance to ASTM A488 or equivalent. The supplier shall
submit their welding procedure for Metso for review and approve during first article phase
or change in material requirements. Weld maps are required for all weld areas.
All repaired areas shall be examined by UT and MT in ground condition prior to stress
relief and after stress relief. Acceptance levels used shall be as per original as-cast
requirements. Welding zone and heat affected zone hardness shall be measured and it
shall not vary outside the hardness range specified in the Metso Material Specification.
Welds shall be ground to blend with the adjacent surfaces and welded regions shall be
inspected visually (all surfaces: J2, SCRATA) and with ultrasonic and magnetic particle
testing as described in section 5.4 and 5.3.1 of this standard.
Welds are considered as minor when the depth of the cavity prepared for welding does
not exceed 20% of the wall thickness or maximum 1 inch (25mm) of depth or the weld
surface area is less than 10 square inches (65 cm²).

PROCEDURE 02 11 of 15
Note: Minor defects are subjected to be reclassified to Major, if quantity and depth are
determined by Metso QA or Engineering to be profuse in a 12 square inch (93 cm²) area
or in areas specified by drawing as “Critical”.
Welds repair are considered major when the depth of the cavity prepared for welding
exceeds 20% of the wall thickness or greater than 1 inch (25mm) depth or the weld
surface area is equal to or greater than10 square inches (65 cm²).
The supplier must submit excavation map to Metso for review prior to start of weld repair
for approval. All excavations must be verified by MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspection) or LP
(Liquid Penetrant Test) to assure no indications are present.
Weld repairs of “Major defects” shall be followed with the whole casting receiving a stress
relief cycle as per paragraph 6.1.3.1.3.
Stress relief will consist by placing the casting in a suitable furnace and heating uniformly
to 1050°F (566°C) minimum to 1150°F (621°C) maximum temperature. If casting is
tempered maximum stress relief temperature should be 50°F (28°C) below actual
tempering temperature. Castings are to be held at temperature one hour per inch
(25.4mm) of metal thickness, or twelve hours maximum.
Heating and cooling rates shall be uniform. Rate of temperature change shall not exceed
400°F divided by the thickness in inches of the heaviest section of rough casting.
