GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Related Documents: Def Stan 02-747 Parts 1, 2 and 4, see also Annex A
a.
Extensive examinations have shown that the Nickel Aluminium Bronze (NAB)
castings used since the early 1960s are, to varying degrees, susceptible to normal
corrosion and selective phase attack by sea water. The selective phase corrosion
occurs under crevices and in the Heat Affected Zones (HAZ) of weld repairs. This
destroys the mechanical properties of the material without any obvious change in the
appearance of the materials surface.
b.
To limit the effect of this corrosion problem, it is necessary to examine NAB castings
prior to fitting in critical positions, and to carry out periodic examinations during
their life. These examinations are termed Validation and Revalidation
respectively.
c.
Validation of NAB castings is to be carried out during manufacture. Castings which

have had any previous service use in contact with sea water to be revalidated in
accordance with Part 3 of this Defence Standard.
d.
All Submarine First Level sea wetted castings made of NAB manufactured to Def
Stan 02-747 Part 1, 2 or 4 are to be validated to the requirements of this Defence
Standard. Contracts for new NAB castings are to state where validation is required.
e.
The requirements of this standard are in addition to the requirements laid out in Def
Stan 02-747 Part 1, 2 or 4.
f.
The Validation Contractor is to demonstrate to the Design Authority that the

procedures to control and document the application of this Defence Standard are in
place before work is carried out.
g.
The following documentation is to be made available to the personnel making the

inspection:(1)
(2)
h.
drawings with dimensions and wall thicknesses.

integrity.

see also Annex A
2.1
Cleaning and Etching

a.
Castings are to be cleaned and etched to show up the weld repaired areas before
heat treatment is carried out.
b.
If a casting has been weld repaired in accordance with the requirements of Def
Stan 02-747 Part 4, or has not been weld repaired, then the etching process in
Clause 2.2d may be omitted.
c.
If the casting to be examined is contaminated with grease, then it is to be

degreased in a cold agitated solvent agent to Def Stan 68-188 or similar approved
alternative for between 30 minutes and one hour. On completion of degreasing, it
is to be washed in hot water (80C - 90C) for several minutes until the degreasing
solvent is removed.
d.
The casting is then to be dipped for between 5 and 10 minutes in an approved

brightening solution e.g. Ardrox 160 (available under NSN 99 220 1162) or
similar approved alternative. This process will etch the surface of the casting,
highlighting areas of weld repair. The solution must be sufficiently fresh not to
contaminate the casting surface with redeposited copper. After removal from the
dip bath, the casting is to be thoroughly washed in cold fresh water to remove all
traces of the brightening solution.
e.
If the castings have been heat treated in error prior to validation, the oxide film on
the surface of castings may reduce the effectiveness of the etching process.
Castings therefore, which are weld repaired but which have been heat treated, may
be lightly shot blasted using fine glass beads prior to etching provided this is not
so severe as to materially damage machined surfaces.
NOTE: Due to the toxicity of Ardrox 160, contractors may prefer to use an alternative
general etching chemical, e.g. ferric chloride. Where such a change is proposed, prior
approval should be obtained from the Design Authority.
2.2
Visual Inspection
a.
In general, the appearance of the various exposed surfaces of the casting following
dipping in Ardrox 160 will be roughly as follows:
Weld metal
Parent Metal
- Dark Grey or Black

- Mid Grey
3.
VALIDATION OF CASTINGS
3.1
3.2
General
a.
The main corrosion mechanism causing concern with NAB castings is selective
phase corrosion, which occurs under crevices and biofouling (plug corrosion), or
around weld repairs in the heat affected zone (HAZ corrosion). Selective phase
corrosion can penetrate the thickness of the casting at up to 1.1mm per year with
no apparent surface loss of metal.
b.
Information on the location and size of weld repairs on the wetted and non-wetted
surfaces, combined with wall thickness measurements, provides baseline data for
use during the through life monitoring process for NAB castings.
c.
If a casting has not been weld repaired, then the examination detailed in Clause
3.2 can be omitted.
Weld Repairs
a.
3.3
3.4
All areas of weld repair, in particular where the HAZ is exposed to sea water, are
to be sketched or photographed and sized so that each area is referenced to an
identifiable position on the casting. The depth of weld repair is also to be noted.
Thickness Examination
a.
Checks for wall thickness are to be carried out as laid out in Def Stan 02-747 Part
1, 2 or 4. In addition, the areas of weld repair noted in Clause 3.2 are to be
thickness checked and the results noted.
b.
The use of NDE methods such as ultrasonic examination for measuring wall
thickness must be supported by written procedures to a specification approved by
the Design Authority.
Recording of Examination Results

a.
Each weld repair is to be given a number, which is to be marked on the weld

repair sketch and cross referenced to the Weld Repair Recording Sheet.
b.
The wall thickness values are to be recorded on a Wall Thickness Recording Sheet
in such a way that they are cross-referenced to a grid based sketch.
c.
Grid based thickness sketches for the larger NAB castings should be available
from the Design Authority. If these are not available then general wall thicknesses
should be referenced to a gridded sketch at a spacing to be agreed with the Design
Authority, which gives sufficient detail to provide confidence on the general wall
thickness. For guidance the grid spacing will be typically 70 mm to 100 mm.
4.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
4.1
4.2
Weld Repairs
a.
All weld repairs are to meet the requirements of Def Stan 02-747 Part 2 or 4.
b.
All weld repairs are to be sketched, sized and recorded on the Weld Repair
Recording Sheet.
Wall Thickness
a.
4.3
4.4
Wall thickness results are to comply with the drawing requirements and the
requirements laid out in Def Stan 02-747 Part 1, 2 or 4 as applicable.
Quality Assurance Documentation

a.
Quality Assurance Documentation is to give the actual results of all tests carried out
in accordance with the requirements of Def Stan 02-747 Part 1, 2 or 4 as applicable,
and is to include details of the weld procedure and weld consumables employed.
b.
Records and sketches of the weld repair and wall thickness examinations carried out
to the requirements of this Defence Standard are to form part of the total QA
documentation for the casting.
c.
All record sheets are to be annotated with the castings ship fitting number,
description, and unique radiograph number. Records are to be retained and are to be
available for inspection by a MoD representative on request.
d.
On completion of the examination, a Validation Certificate is to be completed in the

format of Annex D. Completion of the NDE to the requirements of Defence Standard
02-747 Part 1, 2 or 4 is to be documented on the Validation Certificate.
e.
A check list for all the Quality Assurance documentation required for validated
Submarine First Level NAB castings is given in Annex E. A check list of this format
should be completed and submitted with the Quality Assurance documentation.
Stamping of Castings
a.
The officer signing the validation certificate is to witness the stamping of the casting.
b.
In addition to the identification requirements given in Def Stan 02-747 Part 1, 2 or 4,

castings validated to the requirements of this specification are to be stamped on the
flange edge H as a prefix to the radiograph number if heat treated during
manufacture and also A if weld repaired. The letters VAL followed by the date are
to be stamped as a suffix to the radiograph number.
4.5
Records
a.
A copy of the Validation Certificate, together with copies of the full set of QA
records, including Weld Repair Recording Sheet, Wall Thickness Recording Sheet
and sketches/ photographs, are to accompany the casting. These are to be held by the
Through Life Records Contractor when the casting is fitted to the vessel, and are to
be available for future revalidation. The original documents are to be held by the
supplier / manufacturer until the casting is fitted to the vessel as a minimum. The
contract will state if the supplier / manufacturer is required to retain the documents
for a longer period.
b.
The Through Life Records Contractor is to hold the master records.
