“LT = Low Temperature” Spheroidal graphite cast iron with guaranteed notched impact energy at low temperatures. The microstructure consists of >90% ferrite. The minimum tensile strength is 400 MPa, the minimum elongation at fracture 18%. Chunky graphite is occasionally present.

Graphite classification according to EN ISO 945-1:2019

  • Graphite form VI
  • Guide number for the size range: 5

The SEM images show a force fracture by tensile testing. A ductile force fracture is present.
