EN(-1563-)GJS-600-3 (GGG60)

Continuously Cast Spheroidal Graphite Iron

Characteristics
Offers reasonable machinability and excellent surface finish combined with
higher wear resistance, strength & heat treatment response compared to
EN-GJS-500-7. Noise and vibration damping are good in this grade. Com-
pares with standard EN(-1563-GJS)-600-3 (GGG60 and Meehanite SP600).

BrinellHardness
(Range) 200-270 (10mm dia Ball 3000Kg load) depending on section size.
Hardness readings are taken across the entire section of the bar. Hardness
values for rectangles depend on the ratio of height to width and can be sup-
plied upon request.

Microstructure
Contains Type l & ll nodular (spheroidal) graphite in accordance with ASTM
A247. The rim contains approximately 200/250 nodules/square mm, and is
predominantly pearlitic with the core containing 90/150 nodules/sq. mm. The
core matrix is greater than 50% pearlite with some ferrite. Chill carbides will
be less than 5%, well dispersed. (At 100x magnification)

Heat Treat Response


EN-GJS-600-3 can be hardened by conventional methods, to Rc 50 on the bar
surface.

Density
7.3 g/cc
