Figure 2. Scheme of mold design for cylindrical specimen required by Fersa
Spcecimens taken by the same piece won’t be considered for approval process
In case of the supplier use Independent samples, Fersa must be informed and agreed with this
condition previously use it.
Additionaly, independent samples must be representative of the mass production by casting into an
independent sand mold, under the same cooling and casting parameters than manufactured pieces.
In case of doubt about the origin of said samples, Fersa may reject the samples and affected batch.
Cast samples must be cylindrical and must be representative of the relevant wall thickness.
Depending on it, the recommended diameter of the tensile strength specimen is according the
following table:
Relevant wall thickness t Cylindrical type sample Tensile Strength recommended

(mm) (see appendix A) diameter (acc. ISO 1563)
t ≤ 12,5 b, c
14 mm
12,5 < t ≤ 30 a, b, c
Table 1 Cylindrical sample type depending on the relevant wall thickness
All cylindrical samples must be properly identified to ensure traceability.
Note: Cylindrical specimens must be enought to make a subsequent mechanization for tensile
strength specimen. These specimens will be used after mechanization for both mechanical and
metallographic analyses. If the relevant wall thickness is less than the optimum diameter of the
tensile strength specimen according to EN-ISO 1563 standard, the diameter of the cylindrical
sample can be increased (D=25 mm according appendix A), or reduce the dimensions of the tensile
strength specimen according ISO 1563 (see Figure 5, section 5.5 on this document). In that case, an
agreement between Fersa & Supplier will be required.

The supplier and Fersa must analyze the microestructure in the same area in order to make a
representative and equivalent analyses.
In the microstructure report, supplier must indicate the selected analysis area (number of samples
taken and number of selected areas), as well as the magnification , material designation, part
number, heat number, report date and operator and/or the laboratory who signs the report. Any
other requirement must be agreed by Fersa and the supplier.
Microstructural parameters to be controlled and reported by the supplier must be:
 Matrix microstructure (% Ferrite, % Perlite)

increases with increased pearlite or silicon content.
NOTE 2 Eutectic carbides increase the hardness, but are generally undesirable, and their occurrence is
only likely in small quantities.
* An agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser may establish a narrower range
of use; a tolerance range between 30 and 40 Brinell hardness units is generally acceptable.
This hardness range can be wider for grades with a ferritic/pearlitic base structure.
