Indian Standard
GREY IRON CASTINGS - SPECIFICATION
( Fourth Revision)
UDC 669.131.6-14
Q BIS 1993
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Fourth Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Pig Iron and Cast Iron Sectional Committee had been approved by the Metallurgical
Rngincering DivirionCouncil.
This standard was first published in 1950 and subsequently revised in 1962, 1970 and 1978. While
reviewing this standard in the light of the experience gained during these years, the committee decided to
reviseit to align with the present practices followed by the Indian industries and to bring it in line with
the other overseas standards.
The various diameters of test bar according to the section size of the castings have been replaced by a
single size of test bar. Guidance on the effect of section size of the casting on the tensile strength is, how-
ever, given in Annex A. A comparison between grades is given in Annex B.
The production of castings in the higher gr@es of grey cast iron often involve3 special techniques. It is
recommended, therefore, that for either large or intricate castings or ;1 casting involving both these condi-
tions or where the castings have to withstand exception conditions, the grade of grey cast iron selected and
any heat treatment involved should be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. The hipher
grades of grey cast iron ( that is, Grade FG300, FG350 and FG400 ) present special difficulties for section
10 mm ,and thinner.

NOTES
1 The typical properties given in this Annex are the proprrties in a 30 mm diameter separately cast test bar or
in a casting section correctly represented by this size of test bar. Where the tensile strength does not correspond
to that given, other properties may differ slightly from those given.
2 Notched tensile strengths increase slightly as notch severity ratio, notch radius, notch diameter, increase
above 0’47.
3 The values quoted for coefficient of thermal expansion. of Grade FG 400 are for material in pearlitic iron.
Where accicular iron is used for this grade appropriate values are:
