EN-GJS-800-2 | 5.3301 Graphite classification and fracture appearance in tensile test

Numeric designation5.3301
Chemical designationEN-GJS-800-2
StateGraphite classification and fracture appearance in tensile test

High strength cast iron with nodular graphite, pure pearlitic matrix. The minimum tensile strength is 800 MPa.

Graphite classification according to EN ISO 945-1:2019

  • Graphite form VI
  • Guide number for the size range: 6

The SEM images show an overload fracture by tensile testing. A transcrystalline cleavage fracture is to be seen. The graphite spheres are not penetrated by the cleavage fracture.
