Abrasion-resistant, nickel-chromium white iron Gasite® 6G is a GIW proprietary metal (manu- facturing process patent # 4,638,847). This al- FORM loy conforms in chemistry and physical proper- Castings and machined castings ties to ASTM Standard A532-93a, Class I, Type D. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Tensile Strength ..........80-105 KSI ELEMENT ASTM GIW Hardness ..........650 HBN/59 HRC Carbon..............2.5 - 3.6%..........3.2 - 3.5% (per ASTM A532) Nickel................4.5 - 7%.............5.5 - 5.8% Chromium...........7 - 11%.............8.5 - 10% GIW furnishes chemistry and hardness for mill test reports upon request. HEAT TREATMENT Gasite® 6G is heat treated to increase its hard- MICROSTRUCTURE ness, which results in maximum wear resistance. Gasite® 6G is a refined Ni-Hard type 4, white- iron alloy with superior toughness and strength. TEST SPECIMENS AND CERTIFICA- Its microstructure consists of refined chromium TIONS carbides and a mostly martensitic matrix. It has A chemical analysis of each heat is conducted been an effective improvement over general Ni- 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
