Die Casting "Classes"

[paulcook]

On another thread, I was admonished for not knowing what a "Class I" casting is.

It was in reference to a question on a die cast part out of ADC12 (A383).

I explained we use NADCA standards for specifications, which is parameter specific (i.e. surface finish, linear tolerance, etc. all get their own class spec) as opposed to one overarching "class".

I'm genuinely curious what standard the other user is referring to.
