Cast iron GJL150
Belonging to lamellar cast irons, so called because of graphite characteristic of solidifying in the form of lamellae, GJL150 alloy is used in many industries because it is wear-resistant, sound-absorbing and corrosion-resistant, thus able to preserve the quality and reliability of components over time.
This alloy can be used in a variety of fields: from hydraulics to general mechanics.

The above data are intended as a guideline since they can be found only on standard specimens cast automatically on in-ground molding equipment. The values actually found on a casting depend strongly on the thickness of the element under consideration and the morphology of the casting (in fact, these two aspects jointly determine the cooling curves and thus the set of mechanical characteristics).
