ASTM A536 Ductile Iron Heat treatment requirement: www.castingquality.com

Generally ductile iron, that is hat treated by quenching to martensite and tempering, may have
substantially lower fatigue strength than as cast material of the same hardness. The grade 60-40-18 will
normally require a full ferritizing anneal. The 120-90-02 and the 100-70-03 grades generally require a
quenching and temper or a normalize and temper, or an isothermal heat treatment. The other two grades
can be met either as-cast or by heat treatment. Pls contact with Casting Quality for more details.
