G2 Gray Iron Round Bar (62)

G2 Gray Iron is a pearlitic gray iron containing Type A graphite. Gray Iron bars made to this specification have optimal strength, wear and hardness when compared to the other gray iron grades. This material is well suited for applications requiring high resistance to wear and response to heat treatment. This specification is similar to ASTM A48A 48M, Class 40. The microstructure will contain Type VII, A, size 4-6 graphite as defined in ASTM A247. The matrix is fully pearlitic. The rim will consist of Type D, size 4-6 graphite in a pearlite matrix with small amounts of ferrite. Chill carbides will be less than 5% in any field at 100x and are well dispersed.
