FGS600-2 is a French ductile cast iron grade defined in NF A32-201 standard. It is equivalent to the grade EN-GJS-600-3 in European standard EN 1563.
This material grade is also equal to the following grades:
80-55-06 and 80-60-03 in USA standard ASTM A536
Grade 600-3 in ISO standard ISO 1083
QT600-3 in China standard GB 1348
GGG60 in Germany standard DIN 1693
FCD600 in Japan standard JIS G5502
GS600-2 in Italy standard UNI 4544
600/3 in UK standard BS 2789
The chemical composition of NF A32-201 FGS600-2 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.
