The second group 1s non-lecaurized irons referred tos bleckhea malleable cast iron. Both soups, except completely ‘dccarburized whiteheart malleable cast ion, conain ‘ree carbon as graphite, called teraper carbon, Both groups have grades with ssrucares (hat can range from Femite to pearite and/or other tareforation products of austenite. “Materials are designated in tas of tensile erength and perceniage elongation relive toa 12 mm diameter test piece for whiteheart malleable cast iron ard 12 or 15 mm diameter tet pieces for blackheaet malleable cast iron. However, comparative values of venlle srengih and percentage elongation after fractine axe ven for other test piece diameters. Castings having small wall thicknesses form a signifeant sector of te market In ore t represent their mechanical properties inthis material standart, values for these peopertes, baged on 6 mm diameter test pieces, have been inchided.
