SPHEROIDAL GRAPHITE CAST IRON – DIN EN 1563

Spheroidal graphite cast iron – DIN EN 1563 is an essential material for Ankara foundry companies, known for its high strength, durability, and flexibility. Thanks to its high tensile and impact resistance, it is widely used in many sectors of modern industry.

What is SPHEROIDAL GRAPHITE CAST IRON?

Spheroidal graphite cast iron is much more durable than grey cast iron due to its spherical graphite structure. The term “Spheroidal” refers to the spherical form of the graphite contained within the material. This structure increases the elasticity and impact resistance of the metal. In foundry production, this material is used where high strength is required.

The Importance of the DIN EN 1563 Standard

DIN EN 1563 defines the classification and mechanical properties of spheroidal graphite cast iron. This standard aims to ensure reliable production in the Ankara foundry sector by setting the quality criteria for casting parts.

Main Classifications:

EN-GJS-400-15: High flexibility, low tensile strength
EN-GJS-500-7: Balanced strength and ductility
EN-GJS-600-3: High strength, low elongation
EN-GJS-700-2: High endurance and hardness

Where is SPHEROIDAL GRAPHITE CAST IRON Used?

In the foundry sector, spheroidal graphite cast iron is preferred for the production of parts that work under heavy loads. Typical applications include:

Automotive parts (crankshaft, axle housing)
Pressure pipes
Machine parts
Railway and infrastructure components

Advantages of SPHEROIDAL GRAPHITE CAST IRON

High tensile and impact resistance
Flexibility and ductility properties
Corrosion resistance
Weldability
