What is BS EN 13835 - Austenitic cast irons about?
BS EN 13835 provides a set of guidelines with the founding of austenitic cast irons.
BS EN 13835 classifies a range of cast irons principally used for their heat and corrosion resistance properties. These properties are obtainable from the engineering grades in BS EN 13835. The special purpose grades also exhibit heat and corrosion resistance properties, but are used principally for their magnetic properties, or very low expansion characteristics.
NOTE: This designation system by number is based on the structure and rules of EN 10027-2 [4] and so corresponds with the European numbering system for steel and other materials.
Who is BS EN 13835- Austenitic cast irons for?
BS EN 13835 on Austenitic cast irons is useful for:
- Iron and steel manufacturers
- Cast iron manufacturers
- Electric engineers
- General equipment manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 13835 - Austenitic cast irons?
The austenitic cast irons are a range of high-alloyed materials with an austenitic matrix, containing nickel, manganese and sometimes copper and chromium. Carbon is present either as graphite flakes or as spheroids. The spheroidal graphite grades have superior mechanical properties.
BS EN 13835 consists of the properties of the austenitic cast irons depend upon them having the appropriate structure and mechanical properties for the application.
These properties are dependent upon the control of metal composition within the specified grades and the metal processing route.
BS EN 13835 guidelines help the users to use the equipment for a long period.
BS EN 13835 benefits iron and steel manufacturers with the specifications for austenitic cast irons which helps them in manufacturing superior quality of durable and strong castings.
