          Comparison Table for Some Gray Iron Casting Grades
          ASTM A48, 
			SAE J431, GM 274M and ASTM A126 are standards for
			gray cast iron. They have 
			some grades which have some equal or similar mechanical properties, 
			such as tensile strength and 
			hardness. 
			 
			This is a comparison table for some gray iron casting grades in 
			these standards:

			Gray iron castings have good casting 
			properties, vibration damping, wear resistance, machinability and 
			low notch sensitivity. And gray iron castings are fitted for general 
			machinery, automotive parts, and valve bodies, such as engine, 
			clutch, valve deck, valve, fire hydrant and so on.
