MICROSTRUCTURE
Gasite® 6G is a refined Ni-Hard type 4, white-
iron alloy with superior toughness and strength.
Its microstructure consists of refined chromium
carbides and a mostly martensitic matrix. It has
been an effective improvement over general Ni-

CHEMICAL SPECIFICATION
Gasite® 6G is a GIW proprietary metal (manu-
facturing process patent # 4,638,847). This al-
loy conforms in chemistry and physical proper-
ties to ASTM Standard A532-93a, Class I, Type
D.
ELEMENT ASTM GIW
Carbon..............2.5 - 3.6%..........3.2 - 3.5%
Nickel................4.5 - 7%.............5.5 - 5.8%
Chromium...........7 - 11%.............8.5 - 10%
HEAT TREATMENT
Gasite® 6G is heat treated to increase its hard-
ness, which results in maximum wear resistance.
TEST SPECIMENS AND CERTIFICA-
TIONS
A chemical analysis of each heat is conducted
prior to pouring. For further quality control, GIW
pours test bars randomly. After heat treating, the
tensile strength and hardness of the test bars are
measured and recorded, and the casting is checked
for uniform hardness at several locations.
APPLICATION
With its superior toughness, Gasite® 6G is well
suited for the manufacture of castings, such as
