Founding. Ausferritic spheroidal graphite cast irons. | Status: Current, Under review

1 Scope This European Standard defines the grades and the corresponding requirements for ausferritic spheroidal graphite cast irons. This European Standard specifies five grades of ausferritic spheroidal graphite cast iron by a classification based on mechanical properties measured on machined test pieces prepared from cast samples. This European Standard also specifies two grades by a classification as a function of hardness. This European Standard does not cover technical delivery conditions for iron castings, see EN 1559‑1 [4] and EN 1559‑3 [5].

NOTE Grades given in Annex A are not intended for pressure equipment applications.
