What is ISO 19960 - Cast steels and alloys about?

ISO 19960 is an international standard on cast steel and alloy that discusses the properties of cast steel and alloy useful for manufacturing. ISO 19960 specifies cast steel and alloy grades with special physical properties.

The cast steel and alloy grades covered by ISO 19960 are used in applications that require low linear thermal expansion, low ferromagnetic responses, or low galling properties.

NOTE: Annex A gives information on ISO grade designation and available UNS numbers which are similar to the ISO grade designations.

Who is ISO 19960 - Cast steels and alloys for?

ISO 19960 on cast steel and alloy is relevant to:

Manufacturer of cast steel and alloy
Metallurgist

Why should you use ISO 19960 - Cast steels and alloys?

Cast steel is a ferrous alloy with a maximum carbon content of approximately 0.75%. Steel castings are solid metal objects produced by filling the void within a mold with liquid steel. They are available in many of the same carbon and alloy steels that can be produced as wrought metals.

ISO 19960 provide guidance on chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment welding, verification of physical properties.

ISO 19960 exemplifies the required chemical composition and mechanical properties that help you achieve precision in terms of product functionality and specification. As a user of ISO 19960, you can be ensured of the physical properties of cast steel and alloy. With obedience and compliance to ISO 19960, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality cast steel and alloy. With ISO 19960 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
