Diese Europäische Norm legt die zusätzlichen technischen Lieferbedingungen für Gussstücke aus allen Gusseisenwerkstoffen fest. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Eisengussstücke, die in Sandformen oder Kokillen oder nach dem Schleudergieß-, Stranggieß- oder Feingießverfahren hergestellt werden.

Fonderie - Conditions techniques de fourniture - Partie 3: Spécifications complémentaires pour les pièces moulées en fonte

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les conditions techniques complémentaires de fourniture des pièces
moulées, élaborées à partir de tous les matériaux en fonte.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux pièces moulées, élaborées à partir de tous les matériaux en
fonte, coulées dans des moules en sable ou en coquille, ou par centrifugation, par coulée continue ou par
moulage en cire perdue.

Livarstvo - Tehnični dobavni pogoji - 3. del: Dodatne zahteve za litoželezne ulitke

Ta evropski standard velja za ulitke, narejene iz litoželeznih materialov v peščenih ali trajnih kalupih ali s centrifugalnim litjem, kontinuirnim litjem ali precizijskim litjem. Določa dodatne tehnične pogoje za ulitke, narejene iz litoželeznih materialov. Dokument ne velja za železne proizvode, ki so predmet ločenih evropskih standardov za proizvode, npr. železne cevi, fitingi in dodatki za vodne cevovode, ki so predmet EN 545 in EN 598, EN 877 in EN 969.

Overview

EN 1559-3:2011 - Founding: Technical conditions of delivery - Part 3: Additional requirements for iron castings is a CEN European Standard that specifies the additional technical delivery conditions for all types of iron castings. It complements EN 1559-1 (General) and applies to castings produced in sand or permanent moulds, and by centrifugal, continuous or investment casting. The standard helps manufacturers and purchasers define contractual and quality requirements for cast iron components.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and designation
    • Applies to all cast iron materials; material designation follows EN 1560.
  • Information to be supplied by the purchaser
    • Mandatory: relevant wall thickness.
    • Optional: as-cast condition, special or subsequent heat treatment, stress relief, surface treatments (enamelling, galvanizing), machining/heat treatment sequence, test unit formation, preliminary/initial samples.
  • Manufacture and welding
    • Manufacturing process options are covered; welding must be done by qualified welders (reference EN 287-6) and welding procedures per EN ISO 15614-3 with guidance from EN 1011-8. Production welding arrangements require agreement between purchaser and manufacturer.
  • Material and casting requirements
    • Chemical composition, mechanical properties and other material attributes are addressed alongside casting-specific considerations (e.g., post-inoculation effects).
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT) and acceptance criteria
    • Lists applicable NDT methods and standards: liquid penetrant (PT), magnetic particle (MT), ultrasonic (UT), radiographic (RT), and computed radiography references (EN 571-1, EN ISO 9934-1, EN 12680-3, EN 12681, EN 14784 series, etc.).
    • Acceptance criteria can be graded and specified by area or method; guidance is provided in Annex A (inner/outer conditions) and Annex B (surface condition).
  • Inspection and testing
    • Test unit formation, sampling, inspection frequency and retesting are to follow the relevant material standards and agreements between parties.
  • Marking, packaging and complaints
    • Requirements for marking, packaging and surface protection and procedures for complaints are included.

Applications and who uses it

  • Target users:
    • Foundries producing iron castings
    • Purchasing/specification engineers and quality managers
    • Fabricators and welding technicians
    • Inspection and NDT service providers
  • Practical uses:
    • Preparing procurement specifications and contracts
    • Defining NDT strategies and acceptance criteria for cast iron components
    • Ensuring compliance for welded castings and agreed finishing processes
    • Coordinating manufacturer–purchaser agreements on heat-treatment, surface finish and testing

Related standards

  • EN 1559-1 (General technical delivery conditions)
  • EN 1559-2, -4, -5, -6 (additional requirements for steel, aluminium, magnesium, zinc castings)
  • EN 1560 (Designation system for cast iron)
  • Relevant NDT and welding standards cited within EN 1559-3:2011 (EN 287-6, EN ISO 15614-3, EN 571-1, EN 12680-3, EN 12681, EN 14784-1/2, EN ISO 9934-1, etc.)

Keywords: EN 1559-3:2011, iron castings, technical delivery conditions, foundry standard, non-destructive testing, acceptance criteria, welding qualification, casting inspection.
