Performance Characteristics of Gray Iron Castings
- Liquid gray iron has good fluidity, and its volume shrinkage and linear shrinkage are small, and the notch sensitivity is small
- Low comprehensive mechanical properties, compressive strength is about 3~4 times higher than tensile strength
- Good shock absorption, the shock absorption of gray iron is about 10 times greater than that of cast steel
- Gray iron has low modulus of elasticity
Structural Characteristics of Gray Iron Castings
- Small wall thickness and complex shapes are available
- The residual stress of the casting is small
- Gray iron castings should not be designed with very thick structures, and asymmetrical sections are often used to make full use of their compressive strength
The following is the common application for grades of grey cast iron:
- HT100 (GG10, EN-GJL-100): For small loads, the friction and wear no special requirements for important castings, such as protective cover, cover, oil pan, hand wheels, frame, floor, hammer, small handle, etc.
- HT150 (GG15, EN-GJL-150): Under moderate load of castings, such as the base, frame, box, knife, bed, bearing seat, table, wheels, cover, pump, valve, pipe, flywheel, motor blocks and other
- HT200 (GG20, EN-GJL-200): Requirements withstand greater load and a certain degree of tightness or corrosion resistance of the more important castings such as cylinder, gear, base, flywheels, bed, cylinder block, cylinder liner, piston, gear box, brake wheel, coupling Plate, medium pressure valve, etc.
- HT30 (GG30, EN-GJL-300): Under high load, wear and high air tightness important castings, such as heavy machine tools, shears, presses, automatic lathe bed, frame, frame, high-pressure hydraulic parts, piston rings, force larger gear, Cams, bushings, large engine crankshaft, cylinder block, cylinder liner, cylinder head, etc.
