FOREWORD
( Fourth Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards,
after the draft
This Indian Standard
and Cast Iron Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Metallurgical
finalized
by the Pig Iron
Rngincering
DivirionCouncil.
This standard was first published in 1950 and subsequently
revised
in 1962, 1970 and
1978.
While
reviewing this standard
in the light of the experience
gained during these years, the committee
decided to
reviseit to align with the present practices followed by the Indian industries
and to bring
it in line with
the other overseas standards.
The various diameters
of test bar according to the section size of the castings have been
replaced
by a
single size of test bar. Guidance
on the effect of section size of the casting on the tensile strength
is, however, given in Annex A. A comparison
between grades is given in Annex B.

11.4 The test bars shall be cast in dried, baked or

chemically
bonded moulds made mainly of an
aggregate
of siliceous sand with appropriate
binders. The average grain size of the sand shall
be approximate
to that of the sand in which the
castings are poured. Moulds for the test bars shall

STRENGTH

When tested in accordance

with the requirement
of 13, the test piece shall comply with the minimum requirements
specified
in Table 3. The
tensile strength specified is that obtained from test
bars cast separately
from the castings to which
they refer. The test values. represent, therefore,
only the quality of the metal from which the
casting have been poured.

OF TESTING

12.1 The number of tests required for each melt

or batch of castings shall be as laid down in
Table 1, various classes of castings being divided
into five representative
groups according to mass.

16 HARDNESS

16.1 The Brine11 hardness test shall be carried

out in accordance
with the method
given in
IS 1500 : 1983. Brine11 hardness values for different grades or grey iron castings
shall be as
specified in Table 3.

12.2 In the case of large tonnage

of castings
being
produced
continuously,
the minimum
number of test bars to be provided shall be one
tensile test representing
every two hours production from a melting furnace.

Table

TEST

The tensile test shall be carried out in accordance

with IS 2078 : 1979, using a test piece conforming
to the dimensions in Fig. 1 and Table 2. The test

surface finish. The transition
between the ends
and the parallel
length shall be smooth, without
undercutting or a sudden step down in diameter.

11.3 When castings are subjected to heat treatment, the test bars shall be heat-treated
together
with the castings they represent.

12 FREQUENCY

OF TEST BARS

A test bar from which the tensile test piece is

machined shall be cast as a uniform cylindrical
bar of 30 mm diameter.
The tolerance
on the
diameter shall be + a mm. The minimum length

11.1 All test bars shall be cast separately in sand

moulds and the number of test bars required shall

APPROXIMATE

VARIATION

OF STRENGTH

A-l The Indian Standard grades of grey cast iron

are based on the minimum tehsile strength obtained when metal is cast into test bars of 30 mm
diameter. The strength developed
by a given
metal shall vary with the coolingrate in the mould
higher strengths being obtained if the same metal
is cast into smaller bars than 30 mm diameter
and lower strengths if the metal is cast into bars
larger than 30 mm diameter.
Similarly, the cooling rate of a flat plate.is slower than that of a bar
whose diameter is equal to the thickness of the
plate so that the strength developed in the plate
will be lower than that developed in the bar.

A-2 Figure 2 gives a guide to the likely variation

in tensile strength in different
sections when a
given grade of grey iron is cast into a casting of
simple shape and uniform thickness or containing
cored holes where the cooling rate in the mould
of a given section shall differ from that in a castmg
of sample shape and uniform thickness, the diagram provides only an approximate
guide to the
likely tensile strength in different sections and
design should be based on the measured tensile
strength in critical parts of the casting.

A-l.1 The

A-2.1 Table 4 gives guidance to the likely variation in tensile strength for different casting section
thicknesses when a given grade of grey cast iron
is cast into a casting of simple shape and uniform thickness. For
casting
of non-uniform
section or castings containing cored holes, the
table provides only an approximate
guide to
the likely tensile strength in different sections,
and casting design should
be based
on the
measured tensile strength in critical parts of the
casting.

cooling rate of a casting in a mould

( hence the strength developed in any $rticular
section thickness by the metal employed for its
manufacture ) is influenced also by the presence
of cores, changes in section thickness, the presence
of bosses projections and intersections, such as the
junctions of ribs and bosses. Thus, in castings of
other than simple shape and uniform thickness
the cooling rate of any part can be expected to
differ from that of a flat plate of similar section
thickness.

E-3 PROCEDURE

TEST

The object of this test is to determine

the transverse bending strength of grey cast iron by applying constantly increasing single load at the centre
of a test bar arranged
as a beam between two
supports until fracture occurs.

~-3.1 Place the two ends qf the test bar on horizontal supports.
The support and the point of
application.
of the load shall be rounded to a
radius of 5 to 20 mm. Apply a single load vertically at the centre of the bar ( see Fig. 4 ).

E-2

E-3.2
Increase the load uniformly
without shock
until the bar fracture. The load should be applied
in such a way that the increase of stress does not
exceed 3 MPa per second
Find out the load at
the fracture
of the test bar with the accuracy
indicated in Table 6.

TEST

BARS

E-2.1 The cast test bars shall have the dimensions

given in Table 5.

E-3.3 Determine

supports or to the supper ting table of the machine.
In order to eliminate any errors in m-asuring the
deflection,
the measurement
should be started
after applying
a small preload
as given
in
Table 6.

E-2.2 Test bar is normally

tested unmachined.
The surface of the test bar shall be free from unevenness and seams which may be removed by
careful grinding. The diameter shall be measured
at the centre ot the test bar in two directionsperpendicular to one-anbther.
The difference between
two measurements
shall not exceed 5 percent of
the normal diameter.
The mean value of the two
diameters shall be the diameter do ( see E-4 ) of
the test bar. For its permissible
variations
from
the nominal
diameter
and the accuracy
of
measurement
of the diameter, the values indicated
in Tables 5 and 6 shall apply.
