BS EN 1561:2011EN 1561:2011 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard deals with the classification of grey cast irons, subdivided into two groups, specified by their tensile strength or hardness, respectively. The properties of grey cast ir
20、on depend on the form and distribution of the graphite and the structure of the matrix. In the previous edition of EN 1561, the designation by symbol was based on the minimum tensile strength to be obtained in the separately cast sample with 30 mm diameter. In Table 1 of this previous edition, the c
21、orresponding mandatory minimum tensile strength values, which should be obtained for relevant wall thicknesses up to 300 mm, in a cast-on sample were given. For castings which have been designed before the date of issue of this standard, it is furthermore possible to determine the tensile strength o
22、f the specified grey cast iron grade by using separately cast samples with a diameter of 30 mm, irrespective of the relevant wall thickness. In this case, the mandatory minimum values for the tensile strength, as specified in the previous edition (EN 1561:1997) of this standard, are given in Annex A
23、, Table A.1 (bold figure in the material designation). In this edition of EN 1561, the designation by symbol is based on the minimum tensile strength to be obtained in a cast sample, which diameter corresponds to the relevant wall thickness of the casting. This applies to a maximum relevant wall thi
24、ckness of 50 mm. Compared with the previous edition of this standard, for relevant wall thicknesses from 50 mm to 200 mm, the relationship with the 30 mm separately cast sample has been abandoned and instead of that, cast-on samples with a size corresponding to the relevant wall thickness ranges are
25、 specified. Additionally the minimum tensile properties to be obtained in these cast-on samples, are increased. In this standard a new designation system by number, as established in EN 1560 1, is given. NOTE This designation system by number is based on the structure and rules of EN 10027-2 2 and s
26、o corresponds with the European numbering system for steel and other materials. The mechanical properties of the material can be evaluated on machined test pieces prepared from: separately cast samples; side by side cast samples; cast-on samples; samples cut from a casting. Hardness of the material
27、can also be evaluated on the casting. However, for many applications tensile strength or hardness are not the only interesting or determining properties. Other mechanical or physical properties can be decisive for the use of grey cast irons, for example: thermal capacity, thermal diffusivity, dampin
28、g capacity or thermo-cycle fatigue. Therefore, Annex A (informative) provides additional information of interest to casting designers. BS EN 1561:2011EN 1561:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the properties of unalloyed and low-alloyed grey cast irons used for castings, which have
29、been manufactured in sand moulds or 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 man
30、ufacturer and the purchaser, the combination 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 (
31、see Table 1) and six grades of grey 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 a
32、nd fittings according to EN 877 5. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments)

35、amellar) graphite particles NOTE 1 Grey cast iron is also known as flake graphite cast iron, and less commonly as lamellar graphite cast iron. NOTE 2 Graphite form, distribution and size are specified in EN ISO 945-1. 3.2 cast sample quantity of material cast to represent the cast material, includin
36、g separately cast sample, side by side cast sample and cast-on sample BS EN 1561:2011EN 1561:2011 (E) 6 3.3 separately cast sample sample cast in a separate sand mould under representative manufacturing conditions and material grade 3.4 side-by-side cast sample sample cast in the mould alongside the
37、 casting, with a joint running system 3.5 cast-on sample sample attached directly to the casting 3.6 relevant wall thickness wall thickness representative of the casting, defined for the determination of the size of the cast samples to which the mechanical properties apply 4 Designation The material
38、 shall be designated either by symbol or by number as given in either Table 1 or Table 2. In the case of samples cut from the casting the letter C is added at the end of the designation by symbol. NOTE Comparison of EN 1561 grade designations to the grades from the ISO standard for grey cast irons (
39、ISO 185:2005) 6 is given in Annex B. 5 Order information 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 charac
40、terize the material according to tensile strength. The 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
41、standard, the information regarding the relevant wall thickness 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. NOT
42、E 2 When specifying a combination of tensile strength and 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 gr
43、ade, separately cast samples with a diameter of 30 mm are used. The order shall specify the number and year of the previous edition (EN 1561:1997) of this European Standard. BS EN 1561:2011EN 1561:2011 (E) 7 6 Manufacture Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, the method of manufacture of grey
44、 cast irons to obtain the specified mechanical properties shall be left 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
45、 shall be made by the time of acceptance of the order. NOTE For grey cast 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 Cha
46、racterizing properties The order should specify in an unambiguous manner 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.
