Table values can be calculated for a different material by taking a ratio of its density to the density of steel
(7,85 kg/dm 3).
Example:   Sheet metal wit h s = 4.0 m m of AIMg 3M n (density 2.66 kg/d m3). From the table:  m = 31.4 kg /m 2 for steel.

A I M g 3 M n :  m = 31.4 kg /m 2  • 2.66 kg/dm3/7.85 kg/dm 3  =  10.64 k g /m2

158 Ma terial science 4.6 Cast iron

Designation system for cast iron m aterials

Designations and m aterial nu mbers   cf. DIN EN 1560 (1997-08)

Cast iron materials are referenced either with a designation or a material number.

Example:

Cast iron w ith flake graphite, tensile strength   Rm  = 300 N/ mm 2

D e s i g n a ti o n Material number
EN-GJL-300 EN-JL1050

Material designations

Material designations have up to six characters without spaces,
beginning with  EN (European standard) and  GJ (cast iron; I iron)

Designation example: B 350 Cast iron with flake graphite
W H B 1 55 Cast iron with flake graphite
EN GJ L A 350-22U Cast iron with spheroidal graphite (ductile Iron)
EN GJ L
EN GJ S 4 5 0 -6 Malleable cast iron - blackheart
3 6 0 -1 2 W  Malleable cast iron - whitehead:
EN GJ M HV600(XCr14)
EN GJ M XNiCuCr 15-6-2 Wear-resistant cast iron
EN GJ M Austenitic cast iron
EN G J L

Material numbers

Material numbers have seven characters without spaces,
beginning with  EN (European standard) and J (iron;  Iiron)

Designation examples:

EN - J L 2 0 4 7  Cast iron wit h flake graphite and hardness as characteristic spheroidal
EN - J S 1 0 2 2  graphite casting with cast-on test specimen, characteristic /?m
EN - J M 1 1 3 0   Malleable cast iron with out special requiremen ts, characteristic  Rm

Material science: 4.9 Heavy non-ferrous metals  173

Overview  of the heavy non-ferrous m etals

Heavy non-ferrous metals have a density q > 5 k g / d m3.  However, in technical literature q ; >4.5 kg/dm3  is also used
as limit for non-ferrous metals.
• Construction materials in mac hine and plant construction: copper, tin, zinc, nickel, lead and their alloys
• Metals used for alloys: chro miu m, va nad ium, cobalt (for effects of alloying m etals, see page 129)
• Precious metals: gold, silver, platinu m

Heavy non-ferrous m etal alloys: Improved properties com pared to base metals, such as higher strength, higher hard-
ness, better machinability and corrosion resistance, construction materials for various application. Classified accord-

Corrosion

Electrochemical series of metals

In galvanic corrosion the same processes occur as in electrical elements where the base metals are corroded. The
voltage produced between two dissimilar metals under influence of a conducting liquid (electrolyte) can be taken
from the standard p otentials of the electrochemical series. Standard p otential refers to the voltage produced between
the electrode material and a platinum electrode immersed in hydrogen.
Passivation (formation of protective layers) alters the voltage betwe en the elements.

Grinding, brushing, blasting with
Mechanical cleaning Removal of m ill scale, rust and water jet mixed with silica sand

degreasing with solvents;
Chemical cleaning and Removal of mill scale, rust and grease chemical or electrochemical polishing
creating an optimal residues
surface finish Roughing or smoothing the surface

Preventative actions for corrosion protection

Actions Examples

Select suitable materials Stainless steel for parts for preparation in the
paper production

Observe corrosion protection principles in design Same material on contact points, insulation layers
between the parts, avoiding gaps

Protective layers: • protective oil or lubricant Oiling sliding tracks and measuring tools
• chemical surface treatment Phosphatizing, burnishing
• protective paint Lacquer coat, possible after previous phosph atizing

Metallic coatings Hot-dip galvanizing,
galvanic metal plating, e.g. chrome plating

Cathodic corrosion protection Part to be protected, e.g. a ship propeller,
is connected to a sacrificial anode

Anodic oxidation of Al materials A corrosion-resistant permanent oxide layer is produced
on the part, e.g. a rim

Disposal  of  sub stances*

Waste management laws  cf. Closed Substanc e Cycle and Wa ste Ma nag em ent Act (2001-10)

Important principles of recycling manag ement

• Avoid waste, e.g. by in-house recycling man agem ent or a low-wa ste product d esign.
• Utilize material waste, e.g. by recovery of raw m aterials from waste (secondary raw materials).
• Use waste for recovery o f energy (energy use), e.g. use as substitute fuel.
• Waste mus t be recycled properly w itho ut adverse effect on the well being of the general public.
The disposal of waste is subject to monitoring by the responsible authorities (usually the administrative district). In
particular, wastes hazardous to health, air or water, explosive, and flamm able especially need to be mo nitored.

The wa ste producer is responsible for proper disposal and doc um enta tion of disposal.
