GS600-2 is a ductile cast iron grade in Italy standard UNI 4544, which is equivalent to EN-GJS-600-3 in European standard EN 1563, 80-55-06 and 80-60-03 in USA standard ASTM A536.
This material grade is also equal to Grade 600-3 in ISO standard ISO 1083, GGG60 in Germany standard DIN 1693, QT600-3 in China standard GB 1348, and so on.
