Grade 400 SG iron can be supplied in two material variations EN-GJS-400-18 and EN-GJS-400-15 (formerly BS 2789 grade 400-18, and grade 400-15). The final number in the grade refers to the percentage elongation. Steel Express can supply 400-18 and 400-15 SG iron in bars up to 3m in length, stock can be cut to length as required. Our SG iron (ductile iron) is supplied conforming to BS EN 1563 and can be delivered throughout the UK.
EN-GJS-400-18 and EN-GJS-400-15 are SG iron grades containing graphite nodules or spheres, Spheroidal Graphite. The rounded graphite nodules produces a more ductile cast iron that inhibits the formation of cracks. SG iron has a greater fatigue and impact resistance compared to grey iron.
