Comparison Table for Some Gray Iron Casting Grades

ASTM A48, SAE J431, GM 274M and ASTM A126 are standards for gray cast iron. They have some grades which have some equal or similar mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and hardness.

This is a comparison table for some gray iron casting grades in these standards: Tensile Hardness

Gray iron castings have good casting properties, vibration damping, wear resistance, machinability and low notch sensitivity. And gray iron castings are fitted for general machinery, automotive parts, and valve bodies, such as engine, clutch, valve deck, valve, fire hydrant and so on.
