There is a great deal of information missing from this. Type of cast material, grain structure (course or refined), inspection method required (Longitudinal or Shear), etc...
If you only have the base specification and not the acceptance severity level, then you should inspect to the most...
As metengr stated, MT is better for local area and repair. A complex casting can present many problems that would be difficult to overcome in a 100% Volumetric inspection. Magnetic writing at fillets and thickness transitions, gauss saturation in thinner areas, etc.
The obvious answer would to select which quality technique you want to use. Wire type or plaque and reinforcement shim. The wire is a direct measure which does not account specifically for the reinforcement. The reduced hole diameter in the plaque compensates for the standoff attributed to...
The quickest and easiest way to create a weld defect to prove a repair procedure is to use a cutting wheel. Half way through the intermediates cut a notch in the weld 1.5 times the depth of penetration then complete your weld. RT will show a lack of fusion in that area. Effectively, you are...

Please correct me if I'm wrong... I haven't worked to CWB standards for a very long time. But, doesn't the CSA standards require the designer to specify the manufacturing code in the design specification, the same as AWS and ASME? As an example AWS D1.1 para. 1.4; Responsibilities...
Unless this is an in-house project and you are the designer / manufacturer /end user, the customer must choose a manufacturing code. It should not be left to the manufacturer to decide which code best suits the designers intent. I suggest you go back to your customer for clarification...
Your inspection company should have procedures qualified IAW ASME V. As the manufacturer, you are required to review and verify those procedures are compliant with your needs.
As metengr stated the actual types, number and acceptance criteria of inspections required, (if above the general...
The first question should be, what code are you manufacturing it too?
The second question is, what materials are you manufacturing it from?
And the third would be, what intended service?
Section V only gives inspection certification and procedural requirements. Only the manufacturing code...
Nearly every code has some requirement for qualification of UT personnel. But that aside, even if you are not working to a code you should require at least verifiable training and qualification to the machinery being used. If the wrong probe is used, the velocity is incorrect, or even a single...
Thank you for the comments. I was leaning toward ER309. The material is solution treated with no PWHT required. It is to be a wear ring in a rotating foundation.
Most customers I have worked with gauges rejects per welder and per task or contract. For structural work the rate is normally calculated based on linear inches of weld performed versus linear inches rejectable weld or per joint. For piping the basis is total number of joints welded to number...
Looking for the reference materials on general heat treatment techniques and basic parameters for metals. This is to help educate someone without and engineering background. Any suggestions?
Case A would be correct for a butt joint but not if you required a fillet. However, your drawing shows that a butt joint would be impractical.
Case B, 1st symbol would be correct for a fillet requirement.
The answer is yes. Provided all the radiographic parameters for density, sensitivity and latitude are met you will be able to pick up any flaws that would normally show in any other welding process.
Brazing is not a good option for many reasons. The reason stated by RossABQ is chief among them. Gas welding is often used, (same process, different filler metal) but warpage due to heat control is an issue.
The use of bondo is fine, but if the kit car is metal then I would suggest lead...
That is dependent on the thickness of the base materials, and the degree of penetration required to provide the designed strength. Example: if the thickness is 1/4" then a groove would be required to provide 100% penetration and 100% joint strength. Where a partial penetration or fillet joint...
Gas shielded MIG and TIG processes are the best for most automotive work. Stick is hard to control and nearly impossible on thin sheet-metal. Gas-less Flux-core is too hot and causes a lot of warpage. MIG with an argon gas shield (argon provides the best cooling effect) will provide a denser...
