ISO 185 : 1988 for Gray Cast Iron

ISO 185 is a standard for gray cast iron. It includes the tensile strength and hardness of gray iron. This standard can be a good reference for designers, buyers and suppliers to gray iron castings.

Cross-references of ISO 185 grade designations to other standards

Table 1 provides a selection of approximate cross-references of ISO 185 grade designations to standard grades of cast iron according to the previous (1988) edition of ISO 185 and to standard grades from current EN, ASTM, JIS, and SAE specifications for grey cast iron.

Because SAE specifies grey cast-iron grades by a combination of minimum test-bar tensile-strength-to-hardness ratio and minimum casting hardness, SAE J431 grades, in addition to those shown, may also be produced to meet a grade specified only by tensile strength. Because SAE hardness grades specify minimum casting hardness, a direct correlation between SAE J431 and ISO 185 hardness grades is not possible;

Table D.1 shows SAE grades which have minimum hardness values approximately the same as ISO grades.

Because ISO 185:1988 hardness grades did not differentiate between expected values for different relevant wall thickness, it is possible that more than one of the previous ISO hardness grades may satisfy the requirements of the current grades.
