Characteristics of Ggg40: Standards / Designations

GGG40 is a nodular cast iron alloy with a predominantly ferritic structure that offers excellent machinability combined with good impact resistance, high electrical conductivity, good elongation properties and magnetic permeability. It has a tensile strength of around 400 N/mm2, yield point of 250 N/mm2, and elongation of 15%. GGG40 is very tough and suitable for components subjected to large forces like levers and brake shoes. However, it cannot be welded.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GGG40

GGG40 is the most commonly used nodular cast iron alloy and
has a predominantly ferritic structure. This cast iron offers
excellent machinability combined with good impact resistance,
high electrical conductivity, good elongation properties and
magnetic permeability. The material cannot be welded.

Because GGG40 is extremely tough, it is suitable for


components that are subjected to large forces; e.g. levers, chain
links, housings, brake shoes and connecting rods.
