What is EN GJS 400?
Page Contents
EN-GJS-400 ductile iron, also called as nodular iron, is a very good and common cast iron. It has good tensile strength and yield strength, and the largest elongation compared with other ductile iron grades. Moreover, it has the best impact property, casting and machining functions.
What is EN GJS?
EN-GJS-500-7 is an SG iron grade containing graphite nodules or spheres, Spheroidal Graphite. The rounded graphite nodules produces a more ductile cast iron that inhibits the formation of cracks. SG iron such as EN-GJS-500-7 has a greater fatigue and impact resistance compared to grey iron.
What is EN GJS 400 15?
Sometimes referenced as a ductile iron EN GJS 400-15 is a spheroidal graphite iron that possesses impact, strength and ductile properties of a different type to that of grey cast iron grades, though with similar machining characteristics.

How do you make cast iron ductile?
Ductile iron casting refers to a process in which magnesium / cerium (as an alloy of magnesium / cerium) is added to cast iron. It reacts with the sulfur and oxygen in the molten iron and changes the way the graphite is formed.
What is meant by SG iron?
The Full form of SG IRON is Spheroidal Graphite Iron, or SG IRON stands for Spheroidal Graphite Iron, or the full name of given abbreviation is Spheroidal Graphite Iron.
What is the difference between SG iron and cast iron?
The difference between traditional cast iron and modern-day ductile iron is the shape of the graphite. While cast iron has small flakes of graphite, ductile iron contains spherical graphite nodules. Because of the spherical shape of the graphite, ductile iron is often called spheroidal iron or nodular cast iron.
