Hardness of the material can also be evalua

Other mechanical or physical properties can be decisive for the use of grey cast irons, for example: thermal capacity, thermal diffusivity, damping capacity or ther
4、mo-cycle fatigue. Therefore, Annex A (informative) provides additional information of interest to casting designers. EN 1561:2011 (E) 51 Scope This European Standard specifies the properties of unalloyed and low-alloyed grey cast irons used for castings, which have been manufactured in sand moulds o
5、r in moulds with comparable thermal behaviour. This European Standard specifies the characterizing properties of grey cast irons by either a) the tensile strength of cast samples, or b) the hardness measured on the castings or on a cast-on knob. If agreed by the manufacturer and the purchaser, the c
6、ombination of both tensile strength from option a) and hardness from option b) may be specified. This European Standard specifies six grades of grey cast iron by a classification based on tensile strength measured on machined test pieces prepared from cast samples (see Table 1) and six grades of gre
7、y cast iron by a classification based on Brinell hardness (see Table 2). This European Standard does not cover technical delivery conditions for iron castings; see EN 1559-1 3 and EN 1559-3 4. This European Standard does not apply to grey cast irons used for pipes and fittings according to EN 877 5.

NOTE Comparison of EN 1561 grade designations to the grades from the ISO standard for grey cast irons (ISO 185:2005) 6 is given in Annex B. 5 Order informatio
15、n The order shall specify, in an unambiguous manner, whether the tensile strength measured on cast samples, or the Brinell hardness measured on the casting, is the characterizing property. If it does not do so, then the manufacturer shall characterize the material according to tensile strength. The
16、following information shall be supplied by the purchaser: a) the number of this European Standard; b) the designation of the material; c) the relevant wall thickness; NOTE 1 For castings which have been designed before the date of issue of this standard, the information regarding the relevant wall t
17、hickness can be omitted. d) any special requirements. All requirements shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser by the time of acceptance of the order e.g. technical delivery conditions according to EN 1559-1 and EN 1559-3. NOTE 2 When specifying a combination of tensile strength a
18、nd hardness, it is recommended to consult the information in Annex E. In case of castings which have been designed before the date of issue of this standard, for the verification of the minimum tensile strength of the specified grey cast iron grade, separately cast samples with a diameter of 30 mm a
19、re used. The order shall specify the number and year of the previous edition (EN 1561:1997) of this European Standard. EN 1561:2011 (E) 76 Manufacture Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, the method of manufacture of grey cast irons to obtain the specified mechanical properties shall be left
20、 to the discretion of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall ensure that the requirements defined in this standard are met for the material grade specified in the order. All agreements between the manufacturer and the purchaser shall be made by the time of acceptance of the order. NOTE For grey ca
21、st irons to be used in special applications, the chemical composition and heat treatment may be the subject of an agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of acceptance of the order. 7 Requirements 7.1 Characterizing properties The order should specify in an unambiguous manne
22、r whether the tensile strength measured on a test piece machined from a cast sample or the Brinell hardness measured on the casting is the characterizing property. If it does not do so, then the manufacturer shall characterize the material according to tensile strength. 7.2 Tensile properties 7.2.1
23、General The property values apply to grey cast irons cast in sand moulds or moulds of comparable thermal behaviour. Subject to amendments to be agreed upon in the order, they can apply to castings obtained by alternative methods. Tensile properties are wall thickness dependant as shown in Table 1. N
24、OTE Tensile testing requires sound test pieces in order to guarantee pure uni-axial stress during the test. 7.2.2 Test pieces machined from cast samples The tensile properties of the six grades of grey cast irons specified by tensile strength, when measured according to 9.1 using test pieces machine
25、d from cast samples according to Table 3, shall be in accordance with the requirements of Table 1. The maximum tensile strength of the grade is the minimum value plus 100 MPa. 7.2.3 Test pieces machined from samples cut from a casting If applicable, the manufacturer and the purchaser shall agree on:
26、the location(s) on a casting where the sample(s) shall be taken; the minimum value, or allowable range of values, for the tensile properties (for information, see Table D.1). NOTE 1 The properties and the structure of castings are not uniform, depending on the complexity of the castings and variatio
27、n in their section thickness. NOTE 2 Tensile properties for test pieces cut from a casting are affected not only by material properties (subject of this standard) but also by the local casting soundness (not subject of this standard).

31、E 4 For relevant wall thicknesses more than 200 mm, the manufacturer and the purchaser shall agree on the type and size of cast sample and the minimum values to be obtained. a If tensile strength is specified as a characterizing property, the type of the sample (see 8.2) should also be stated in the
32、 order. If not stated in the order, the type of sample is left to the discretion of the manufacturer. b This value is included as the lower limit of the relevant wall-thickness range.7.3 Hardness properties The Brinell hardness of the six grades of grey cast iron specified by hardness, when measured
33、 according to 9.2, shall be as given in Table 2. This classification is applicable principally where machinability or wear resistance are of importance. If a casting is ordered on the basis of hardness, the relevant wall thickness and the position of the test shall be agreed. Minimum and maximum Bri
34、nell hardness values, for the relevant wall thickness specified by the purchaser, shall be mandatory for the castings covered by the order. NOTE For a relevant wall thickness t 100 mm, grades are not classified by hardness. If it is not possible to use the Brinell test method in accordance with EN I
35、SO 6506-1, alternative test methods may be used, which shall have correlated values with Brinell hardness.

NOTE 2 The figures given in bold indicate the maximum Brinell hardness, to which the material designation of the grade is related. a For ea
38、ch grade, Brinell hardness decreases with increasing wall thickness. b By agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser, a narrower hardness range may be adopted at the agreed position on the casting, provided that this is not less than 40 HBW. An example of such a circumstance could be casti

40、 material as that used to produce the casting(s) which they represent. Several types of samples (separately cast samples, cast-on samples, side-by-side cast samples, samples cut from a casting) can be used, depending on the mass and wall thickness of the casting. When relevant, the type of sample sh
41、ould be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Unless otherwise agreed, the choice of option is left to the discretion of the manufacturer. When the mass of the casting exceeds 1 000 kg and its thickness exceeds 50 mm, cast-on samples should preferably be used; the dimensions and the loc
42、ation of the sample shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser by the time of acceptance of the order. EN 1561:2011 (E) 10All samples shall be adequately marked to guarantee full traceability to the castings which they represent. The samples shall be subject to the same heat treatmen
43、t, as that of the castings they represent, if any. 8.2 Samples for tensile test 8.2.1 Size of cast samples The size of the sample shall be in correspondence with the relevant wall thickness of the casting as shown in Table 3. If other sizes are used, this, and the minimum tensile value to be obtaine
