Grey Iron in DIN 1691 Heat Treatment Requirement
Generally, the castings are supplied without heat treatment. But the heat treatment shall be agreed at the time of ordering, it can be to reduce internal stress or hardening, quenching and tempering for improving machinability.
Grey Iron in DIN 1691 Application
- Pump and valve
- Machinery bed.
- Machinery parts.
Grey Iron Machinability:
Very good, easy for machining such as milling, turning or drilling.
Grey Iron Weldability:
Very bad. Generally, castings welding require the purchaser’s approval. The welding process and the filler metals should be appropriated to the use of the casting in manner intended.
