          FGS370-17 is a ductile cast iron grade in France standard NF A32-201, which is equivalent to EN-GJS-400-15 and EN-GJS-400-18 in European standard EN 1563.  
            This material grade is also equal to 60-40-18 in USA standard ASTM A536, Grade 400-15 and Grade 400-18 in ISO standard ISO 1083, GGG40 in Germany standard DIN 1693, QT400-18 in China standard GB 1348, FCD400 in Japan standard JIS G5502, GS370-17 in Italy standard UNI 4544, 400/17 in UK standard BS 2789, etc. 
            The chemical composition of NF A32-201 FGS370-17 ductile cast iron: 
              In standard NF A32-201, there is no requirement to the chemical composition, so the iron foundry could adjust their chemical composition as their experience, but the mechanical properties are the necessary requirement.
