Grade 600-3 SG Iron
EN-GJS-600-3
Grade 600-3 SG iron supplied in bars up to 3m in length, stock can be cut to length as required. The final number in the SG iron grade (EN-GJS-600-3) refers to the minimum percentage elongation. Our EN-GJS-600-3 SG iron (ductile iron) is supplied conforming to BS EN 1563 and can be delivered throughout the UK.
EN-GJS-600-3 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-600-3 has a greater fatigue and impact resistance compared to grey iron.
Ductile iron offers several advantages over castings in mild steel, it offers very good machinability and a superior surface finish. Ductile iron is less brittle than grey iron and offers compressive strength comparable to many mild steels, it also offers a weight advantage as it is approximately 10% lighter than steel.
