Mechanical Properties
Core Mechanical Properties
DIN 1693-1 — 1973-10 · Table 1 — Normative
| Property | Separately cast test piece |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 600 N/mm2 |
| Yield Strength (Rp0.2) | ≥ 380 N/mm2 |
| Elongation | ≥ 3 % |
- Separately cast U or Y test piece; tensile specimen per DIN 50125; A5 elongation
Conditions are not identical. Compare each stated condition and applicability separately.
DIN 1693-2 — 1977-10 · Table 1 — Normative
| Property | Cast-on test piece |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 600 N/mm2[1] ≥ 550 N/mm2[2] |
| Yield Strength (Rp0.2) | ≥ 360 N/mm2[1] ≥ 340 N/mm2[2] |
| Elongation | ≥ 2 %[1] ≥ 1 %[2] |
- DIN 50125 B14x70 tensile specimen; A5 elongation; Primarily casting weights >2000 kg and/or sections 50–200 mm; other sizes need separate agreement. Table 1 specifically lists 30–60 and >60–200 mm.
DIN 1693-2 — 1977-10 · Table 3 — Informative
| Property | Informative casting-location design guidance |
|---|---|
| Yield Strength (Rp0.2) | ≥ 360 N/mm2[3] ≥ 340 N/mm2[4] ≥ 330 N/mm2[5] ≥ 320 N/mm2[6] |
- Casting location, not separately cast or cast-on specimen; Guidance for design only; not guaranteed casting minima. At junctions use largest inscribable cylinder diameter rather than nominal wall thickness; approximately 95% probability of being exceeded.; Informative reference value; not an acceptance requirement

Applications
GGG-60 is used for gears, crane wheels, cable sheaves, rotors and other mechanically loaded cast components. Foundry guidance also identifies pump parts and gas- or water-valve applications. Other cast components used in this material family include gear and transmission components, hubs, brackets and machine housings.
Applications include agricultural, construction and general industrial machinery. Lifting, low-temperature and pressure-retaining duties require the relevant component-specific requirements; ordinary family uses do not establish those capabilities.
