GREY CAST IRON – DIN EN 1561
One of the cornerstones of the foundry industry, GREY CAST IRON – DIN EN 1561 is particularly preferred by Ankara foundry companies. This type of iron stands out with its excellent machinability and vibration damping ability.
What is GREY CAST IRON?
Grey cast iron gets its name due to its grey appearance when broken, caused by its graphite structure. The DIN EN 1561 standard defines the mechanical properties, microstructure, and classifications of this material. Grey cast iron is ideal for foundries looking for a durable and economical solution.
What Does the DIN EN 1561 Standard Mean?
The DIN EN 1561 standard is a European norm that defines the quality criteria for grey cast iron. This standard details the tensile strength, hardness values, and structural properties of the iron. It is of great importance for quality control in foundry production processes.
Standard Classifications:
- EN-GJL-150: Low strength, high vibration damping
- EN-GJL-200: Medium strength and machinability
- EN-GJL-300: For high-strength structural parts
