Characteristics of GS-60

GS-60 refers to a grade of cast steel material. The general properties of this material class may be similar to other GS classes, but the properties specified specifically for GS-60 can be found in standards and manufacturers' documentation.
In general, cast steel grades have a certain chemical composition, strength properties, machinability and casting properties. Typical features for GS-60 may include:

  1. Chemical Composition : The typical chemical composition of GS-60 usually includes 0.60-0.90% carbon, 0.60-0.90% manganese, 0.15-0.40% silicon, and other alloyed elements, as well as small amounts of sulfur and phosphorus. This composition determines the mechanical properties of the material.
  2. Strength Properties : GS-60 can generally have a certain tensile strength and yield strength. These values ​​vary depending on the structural and mechanical properties of the material.
  3. Casting Properties : GS-60 is a material suitable for casting. It can have good flow and filling properties during casting.
  4. Machinability : Since GS-60 is a cast steel material, its processing usually includes post-casting operations. It can be shaped by heat treatments or mechanical processes.
  5. Applications : GS-60 is commonly used in machine parts, structural parts, machine bodies, valves, pump bodies and many other industrial applications. It can be preferred in the production of parts that require high strength and are resistant to wear.

However, the specific properties of GS-60 or other cast steel grades may vary by manufacturer and specific industrial standards, so it is important to consult the relevant documentation and standards for the properties and appropriate applications of a particular material.
