ASTM A48 Gray Iron Castings from China casting Supplier
This standard is equal to HT250,FC250,GG25,G25,FGL250,T260,O125.
It is only approximate to HT250 in China but usually Dandong Iron Casting Group use the chemical composition as the standard of process. Generally it doesn’t allow to replace with approximate standard.
The chemical composition:
C:2.8-3.3
Si:1.2-1.7
Mn:0.8-1.2
P: Max 0.15
S: Max 0.12
The special chemical composition from our customer are as following:
C:3.09%
Si:2.13%
S:0.090%
P:0.050%
Mn:0.73%
Cr:0.63%
Ni:0.040%
Mo:0.10%
Cu:0.650%
Dandong Iron Casting Group added some alloy element like chromium, nickel, molybdenum and copper to meet customer’s requirements. If you also have special requirements please contanct us for the details.
The mechanical properties
Yield: 40000PSI
Tensile: 45000PSI
Eloncation: 1.43%
Hardness: 86-92 HRB
Tensile Strength Requirements:
Chemical composition is just the reference data, physical properties are the inspection standard of iron foundry.
The gray iron grade are widely used in high tensile strength and hardness, high corrosion resistance or corrosion resistance requirements of the castings, such as boiler sprocket, cylinder body, gear, base, flywheel, machine tool, cylinder block, cylinder liner, piston, gear box, brake wheel, coupling plate, valve bodies etc.
Although our customer allow the percentage of chemical composition can be changed, we process heat treatment to meet strict hardness requirements. The mechanical properties and hardness are the key technical issue for both production and inspection.
