4、 Automotive Gray Iron Castings1. ScopeThis SAE Standard covers the hardness, tensile strength, and microstructure and specialrequirements of gray iron sand molded castings used in the automotive and allied industries. Specificrequirements are provided for hardness of castings. Test bar tensile stren

5、gth/Brinell hardness (t/h) ratiorequirements are provided to establish a consistent tensile strength-hardness relationship for each grade tofacilitate prediction and control of tensile strength in castings. Provision is made for specification of specialadditional requirements of gray iron automotive

6、 castings where needed for particular applications and serviceconditions.NOTEThis document was revised in 1993 to provide grade specific t/h control. In 1999 the document wasrevised to make SI metric units primary. To better align the grading system with long establishedproduction methods and grades

7、 produced, the previous system of grading by fixed combinations oftensile strength and hardness was changed in 1999 to a system of grading by variable combinations oftest bar t/h ratio and casting hardness grades. The number of hardness grades was increased relativeto the number of previously availa
