SG Cast Iron Grade 400 12
DESCRIPTION:
The main characteristic of the ductile iron grades is a spheroidal shaped graphite structure
that emphasises the strength, machinability and wear resistance.
ST1 is a ductile iron with graphite type I and II, in a ferritic/pearlite matrix obtained through
as-cast or by heat treatment. This material has the ultimate tensile strength and yield
strength similar to SAE 1030 hot rolled steel grade. Its main characteristics are good
machinability, surface finish and leakage resistance.
APPLICATIONS:
This grade is good for applications such as machine components that suffer impact and are
crack-resistance. Generally used for hydraulic components which operate in high pressure
such as manifolds, piston, guides, cylinder heads, injector jackets, hydraulic pumps and
dies.

HEAT TREATMENT:
ST1 can be oil quenched to achieve a hardness of, approx. 45 HRC. The material is not recommended
for surface hardening such as flame and induction heat treatment. When a high superficial hardness is
necessary, nitriding treatment is recommended.
