ASM CI-92 PDF

JSA FC350 is a higher-tensile-strength gray cast iron that has a pearlitic matrix, and a minimum tensile strength of 350 MPa (51 ksi), when determined on test pieces machined from separately cast, 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter test bars. It provides high strength while still maintaining good thermal conductivity. This grade approaches the maximum tensile strength attainable in gray cast iron. Applications therefore tend to be confined to those where thermal conductivity requirements in service preclude the use of one of the other higher-strength materials such as spheroidal graphite cast irons, which have inferior thermal properties.
