Brinell Hardness Range (Informative): 150-230 HB measured as an average of the center and the rim
area of the bar (10 mm diameter ball).
Microstructure (Informative): Nodular graphite. The matrix is approx. 30% or less pearlitic and may
contain minor quantities of free carbides.
Heat Treat Response: TassoBar EN-GJS-500-7C can be hardened, but higher grades are recom-
mended.
