EN-GJS-500-7

This grade has a matrix consisting of ferrite and pearlite with ferrite as the dominating part. This grade is a compromise between the relatively soft and very ductile ferritic iron with low tensile strength (EN-GJS-400-xx) and the harder and less ductile pearlitic iron with higher tensile strength (EN-GJS-600-3 and EN-GJS-700-2).
It is a good all-round material with good ductility combined with higher tensile strength and it is supplied in as-cast condition, that is without heat treatment.

Typical applications:

High pressure hydraulic valve, components for trucks, forest-, agricutural and contractors´ machines, large diesel engines, rocker arm bearings, bearing housings and covers.
