Several specifications provide for the mass effect by permitting the testing of coupons which are larger than the basic keel block in Figure 38, and whose cooling rate is therefore more representative of that experienced by the part being pr duced. Among these specifications are ASTM specifi- cations E208, A356, and A757. Alloy and Heat Treatment Influence on Section Size Effects. The tensile properties of normalized and tempered cast carbon steel with 0.3% C (cast 1030) and Ni-Cr-Mo low alloy steel (cast 8635) in Figures 39a and 39b reveal the largest effect of section size to be on reduction of area. The higher strength of the low alloy steels relatively uniform in the 1.25 and 3-in. (32 and 76 mm) sections. For the 6-in. (152 mm) section a distinet drop in yield and tensile strength is evident. These sec- tion size effects on tensile properties are more pro- nounced upon quenching and tempering to higher strength values as evident from data illustrated in Figure 40 for Ni-Cr-Mo low alloy cast 8635 steel. Toughness, because of its sensitivity to the changes in ‘metallurgical structure, i.e. heat treatment, may reveal ‘major effects of section size. Figure 41 shows the differ- ences in Charpy V-notch impact energy due to section size as well as the variation of impact energy with loca- tion in a given section. These data shown only minor effects for the normalized and tempered steels. Compar- able and uniform properties are also shown for the 2 ae aT co & Bo [ousnigeew “O Saiien > gator] ee 2 $ wo foun atts” garage] 700 B00 Leno Lng Bibio gob aod oo Eco i : oe peg | 39% : tata Pon ee 4 200 8 2 ‘co E aR oF = pemer B Pn pple ao] # i | x0 5 é & Fig. 398 Distribution of tensile properties of cast 1030 stel.

(152 mm) thick 8630 steel a significant loss in toughness ‘occurs due to insufficient hardenability ofthe steel, Lack of hardenabilty of this steel prevents the 6-in, (152mm) section from through hardening and forminga sufficient amount of martensite at distances of 1 in, (25 mm) or more below the surface of the 6-in, (152 mm) thick section. Fatigue strength values are affected by the mass effect in a manner similar to tensile strength, When the endu- ance limit is “normalized” for tensile strength by divid- ing the endurance limit by the tensile strength, the result- ing endurance ratio reveals only minor effects of section size as illustrated in Figure 42. Early studies of the section size effect (19, 29, 30) evaluated mechanical properties extensively as a func- tion of location ina given casting to determine the rate of change with distance from the surface to the center of the casting. Figure 43 illustrates one example of these studies and demonstrates the tendency of properties to level off at distances of approximately 1/4 thickness, 1/4 T, from the surface, Newer studies, therefore, tend to be limited to the 1/4 T location, Data of this type in Table 9 illustrate the trends for property changes asa function of section size, These data do not reflect minimum values to be expected for the grades listed.
