In making a given casting, itis recognized thatthe foundry will find it necessary to adjust the chemistry to narrower limits within the range of analysis in Table X13. XI.73 As the performance of an automotive camshaft is determined by the microstructure and hardness, producers do ‘not normally use tensile or transverse tests for quality control purposes.
