1. PURPOSE
1.1. To establish general minimum guidelines for the control of surface defects and internal
voids/porosity for ferrous and non-ferrous castings.
2. SCOPE
2.1. This specification applies to all non-ferrous VCC castings and ductile iron differential case
castings and defines the requirements that supplement engineering drawing requirements.
3. REFERENCE
3.1. Engineering Blue Print Specifications.
3.2. ES-03008W & ES-03011, Material Specifications.
3.3. Distribution of ECN’s, Drawings, Part Lists.

4. GENERAL
4.1. The functional manager of Product Engineering and/or designee is responsible for the
implementation, approval, and maintenance of this specification.
4.2. Revisions to this specification require written approval of the manager(s) or designee(s) within
Product Engineering department.
6.1.2. The casting production process sampling plan /PPAP sampling for radiographic
examination, the sectioning of samples of production process, or a hardness evaluation, is
to be approved by the using Plant Quality Department and Supplier Quality Department.
6.1.3. Suppliers to Eaton are expected to maintain the technical expertise for defect prevention,
problem solving, and process improvement to decrease variability in the parts and
establishing a technically sound process.
6.1.4. Heat treatment to castings (where applicable based on drawing) must be approved for
source and location. Significant process changes require the prior knowledge and approval
of the Eaton Quality Engineer or Supplier Quality.
6.1.5. Casting Discontinuities – All parts families:
6.1.5.1. Gross shrinkage cavities, voids, rust, and gross porosity are not permissible. Minor
casting discontinuity limits must be defined and agreed upon between the supplier
and Eaton Product Engineering.
6.1.5.2. Parting lines that occur at windows must be smooth with minimum mismatch.
6.1.5.3. These criteria define limits of minor casting imperfections that have been determined
to be non-detrimental to part function and using plant processing.

document per the part family and size/type (Refer to paragraphs 6.1.5.5 and 6.1.5.6)

6.1.6. Internal minor casting discontinuity limits, i.e. shrinkage, voids, etc.:
(1) Radiographic Severity. Subject radiograph is compared to ASTM E446
reference radiographs and rated with single number level. This rating is for
informational purposes only and is a different severity level than the
sectioned sample severity level acceptance criteria.
(2) Sectioned Sample.* Visual severity level--see classification levels, Sketch
Nos. 1 and 2, and acceptance criteria for designated areas of the casting.
(a) Sectioned sample is taken at the worst-condition area, as indicated by
the subject radiograph.
(b) Sectioned sample is rated with a single number level.
6.1.6.1 Visual severity level (Sketch 1) and diameter maximum are determined from
sectioned samples and mutually agreed upon between supplier and Plant Quality
Department and Supplier Quality Department.
