FGG15 is also a type of low material grade of grey cast iron in Belgium standard NBN 830-01, it is equal to cast iron EN-GJL-150 in standard EN 1561 by European.
This lower grade of grey iron is mainly used for applications where strength is not essential, such as counterweight, molded parts as well as precision castings.
We summarize the following chemical composition and mechanical properties for FGG15 grey cast iron according to EN-GJL-150 in standard EN 1561 of European.
The Chemical Composition of FGG15 (Belgium: NBN 830-01)
In any standard, the chemical composition to this grade were not mandatory, they allow iron casting manufacturers to adjust the chemical composition according to the production conditions, as long as the manufacturers could meet the mechanical properties.
The normal chemical composition for this grade is as the following:
