ASTM A 262 Practice E does not specify anything about the acceptance of Interdendritic ditch structure (refer Table 5)

 

Where as in others (like in practice C it is specified in non acceptance category)

 

When a report specifies for weld IGC as Interdendritic ditch structure, is it acceptable?

The practice E table 5 specifies that for all grades Ditch structure as non acceptable. step, dual, end grain I and II as acceptable structure.

This is as per A262-02a e3 edition.

With regards,
Kannan Sundaram.

yes but ditch and Interdendritic ditch both are different and it
didn't state anything about Interdendritic ditch structure

It has something to do with the applicability of the test. Practce C vs. E

Practice C is applied for wrought, Cast or weld metal structure while, E is
applied for wrought or weld metal. thus, the difference remains in
acceptance criteria.

its OK, but what about the weld metal where practice E is performed
per contrcat spec and it shows Interdendritic ditch structure?
