1. Mechanical properties are obtained from 28mm thick standard test blocks.
2. The testing ambient temperature was take as 23 ±- 5°C degree
3. For Grades 340-550 and 340-550w, the casting will have an Re of 260 MPa and an Rm of 500-650MPa, in sectioins from 28mm up to 40mm.

What’s the means “W” in ISO3755?

“W” means WELDABLE GRADE.  For example, 340-550 is non-weldable grade casting materiel, it’s choice of chemical composition shall be left to the discretion of the manufacturer.  But 340-550W is weldable grade, ISO 3755 standard indicate the detailed chemistry for welding purpose. In fact, 340-550 and 340-550W have same mechanical property.
