7.Tensile Requirements
7.1Tensile properties of steel used for the castings shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Table 3.
8.Quality
8.1The surface of the casting shall be free of adhering sand,scale,cracks,and hot tears as determined by visual examina-tion.Other surface discontinuities shall meet the visual accep-tance standards speci?ed in the order.Visual Method SP-55or other visual standards may be used to de?ne acceptable surface discontinuities and ?nish.Unacceptable visual surface discon-tinuities shall be removed and their removal veri?ed by visual examination of the resultant cavities.When methods involving high temperatures are used in the removal and repair of discontinuities,the casting shall be preheated to at least the minimum temperature in Table 4.
8.2The castings shall not be peened,plugged,or impreg-nated to stop leaks.
9.Repair By Welding
9.1For castings,other than those intended for use under ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,repairs shall be made using procedures and welders quali?ed under Practice A 488/A 488M.
9.2On castings intended for use under the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,repairs shall be made by procedures and welders quali?ed under Section IX of that code.
9.3After repair welding,all castings shall be postweld heat treated in accordance with Table 4or reheat treated in accordance with Table 1.
9.4Weld repairs shall be inspected using the same quality standards as are used to inspect the castings.Re–examination of the weld repair by radiography when Supplementary Re-quirement S 5has been speci?ed will not be necessary when an applicable surface inspection method was used to locate the discontinuity except for the following:

SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following supplementary requirements shall not apply unless speci?ed in the purchase order.
A list of standardized supplementary requirements for use at the option of the purchaser is included in Speci?cation A703/A703M.Those which are ordinarily considered suitable for use with this speci?cation are given below.Others enumerated in Speci?cation A703/A

S4.Magnetic Particle Inspection
S5.Radiographic Inspection
S8.Charpy Impact Test
S8.1In addition to the requirements listed in S8of Speci-?cation A703/A703M,the following speci?c requirements apply to this speci?cation:
S8.1.1When S8is speci?ed for Grades1B,2B,4B,6B, 7A,8B,9B,or10B,impact properties shall be determined by performing a Charpy V-notch impact test at?50°F[?46°C] with a speci?c minimum average value of15ft-lb[20J]and a speci?ed minimum single value of10ft-lb[14J].Other temperatures may be used upon agreement between the manu-facturer and the purchaser,in which case S8.1.3shall apply. Other higher speci?ed minimum average and single values may be used upon agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
S8.1.2Impact requirements for grades other than1B,2B, 4B,6B,7A,8B,9B,and10B shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
S8.1.3When an impact test temperature other than?50°F [?46°C]is used for those grades listed in S8.1.1,the lowest test temperature at which the material meets the impact requirements shall be stamped with low stress stamps imme-diately ahead of the material symbol on the raised pad(for example,2510B for+25°F[?4°C]and02510B for?25°F [?32°C]).
S10.Examination of Weld Preparation
S10.1The method of performing the magnetic particle or liquid penetrant test shall be in accordance with Practice E709 or Practice E165.
