    This document discusses casting and machining considerations for CF8M and CF12M alloys. It notes that uniform thickness should be maintained in castings, and that patternmakers' shrinkage allowance is typically 5/16 inch per foot. Dimensional tolerances for rough castings can be held to 1/16 inch per foot depending on pattern quality. The document also outlines welding and machining procedures for these alloys.

    involving intricate shapes.

    Drastic changes in section should be avoided, however, and uniform thickness


    should be maintained as far as possible. This applies to the casting as cast; i.e., including finish allowance of
    1/8 inch or more on surfaces to be machined. Normally used patternmakers' shrinkage allowance for this alloy
    is 5/16 inch per foot.

    Fabricating Considerations

    Dimensional tolerances for rough castings are influenced by the quality of pattern equipment provided. In
    general, overall dimensions and locations of cored holes can be held to 1/16 inch per foot.

    Welding Type CF8M castings can be welded by metal-arc, inert-gas arc, and oxyacetylene gas methods.
    Metal-arc is most frequently used. Oxyacetylene welding is not advisable because of possible impairment of
    corrosion resistance caused by carbon pick-up. Preheating is not required, but after welding castings should
    be quenched from 1950 to 2100°F (1066 to 1149°C) to restore maximum corrosion resistance. Postweld heat
    treatment may be omitted provided castings will not be exposed to highly corrosive solutions. Lime coated
    electrodes of similar composition (AWS E316-15) are recommended.

    Welding procedures utilizing SMAW, GMAW, and GTAW techniques are described in this section.

    Machining Most machining operations can be performed satisfactorily on castings of CF8M and CF12M alloys.
    It is important in all cases that the tool be kept continually entering into the metal in order to avoid work-
    hardening the surface. Slow feeds, deep cuts, and powerful, rigid machines are necessary for best results.
    Work should be firmly mounted and supported, and tool mountings should provide maximum stiffness. Both high
    speed steel and carbide tools may be used successfully. Because chips are tough and stringy, chip curler tools
    are recommended.

    Good lubrication and cooling are essential. The low thermal conductivity of the alloy makes it most important
    to have the cutting fluid flood both the tool and the work.

    Information on the procedures for specific machining operations is contained in SFSA Steel Casings Handbook,
    6th Edition, Chapter 26.

    Casting designations, specifications, and corresponding wrought alloy

    The American Iron and Steel Institute wrought alloy designation is listed only for the convenience of those who
    want to determine corresponding wrought and cast grades. Because the cast chemical composition ranges are
    not the same as the wrought composition ranges, buyers should use cast alloy designations for proper
    identification of castings.

    Cast ASTM: A351, A743, A744 (CF8M); A451 (CPF8M); SAE 60316; MIL-S-867 (Ships) Class III.

    Wrought AISI 316.

    Also, practices for estimating ferrite content in cast alloys are found in ASTM A799 and A800.
