Cast alloy chemical composition
Look up the chemical composition of 148 cast alloy grades in 17 families — EN, ASTM and DIN designations, material numbers and element limits. Every grade listed here can be cast at our foundry in Mandra, Greece (ADI and wrought-steel chemistries on request) and machined in our own machine shop in Perama.

Grey cast iron
EN 1561 · 5 grades — Grey cast iron is an iron–carbon–silicon alloy in which the carbon solidifies as graphite flakes.
Ductile (nodular) cast iron
EN 1563 · EN 16124 · 11 grades — Ductile (nodular) cast iron is treated with magnesium so that the graphite forms spheroids instead of flakes, giving steel-like strength and elongation with the castability of iron.
Austempered ductile iron (ADI)
EN 1564 · 3 grades — Austempered ductile iron (ADI) is ductile iron given an austempering heat treatment: austenitising followed by an isothermal hold in a salt bath, which produces an ausferritic matrix of acicular ferrite and carbon-stabilised austenite.
Austenitic cast iron (Ni-Resist)
EN 13835 · 4 grades — Ni-Resist irons are cast irons alloyed with enough nickel, plus chromium, copper or silicon, to keep a stable austenitic matrix down to room temperature.
Abrasion-resistant white cast iron (Ni-Hard)
EN 12513 · 3 grades — Ni-Hard irons are white cast irons that solidify without graphite, so the structure consists of hard carbides in a matrix.
High-chromium white cast iron
DIN 1695 · EN 12513 · ASTM A532 · 9 grades — High-chromium white irons solidify without graphite: the carbon is bound in hard eutectic M7C3 chromium carbides set in a matrix that is mainly austenitic as cast and becomes martensitic after a destabilising heat treatment.
Carbon & low-alloy cast steel
EN 10293 · DIN 1681 · SEW 515 · EN 10084 · 21 grades — Carbon and low-alloy cast steels are iron-carbon alloys cast to final shape and almost always heat treated, by normalising or by quenching and tempering, so that the coarse as-cast structure is refined into a fine, tough and uniform one.
Austenitic manganese steel (Hadfield)
ISO 13521 · ASTM A128 · 9 grades — Austenitic manganese steels (Hadfield steels) combine high carbon with high manganese, so that after solution annealing and water quenching the microstructure is fully austenitic and tough.
Stainless cast steel
EN 10283 · ASTM A743 · A747 · 27 grades — Stainless cast steels to EN 10283 and ASTM A743/A747 – martensitic, precipitation-hardening, austenitic and super-austenitic grades.
Duplex & super duplex stainless cast steel
ASTM A890 · A995 · 9 grades — Duplex stainless cast steels solidify with a balanced ferrite–austenite microstructure, combining roughly twice the yield strength of austenitic grades such as CF8M with much better resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking.
Heat-resistant cast steel
EN 10295 · ASTM A297 · A351 · A608 · 18 grades — Heat-resistant cast steels are austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni and Fe-Ni-Cr alloys (plus one ferritic-austenitic grade) designed for service at high temperature rather than for aqueous corrosion.
Nickel & chromium-nickel casting alloys
ASTM A494 · A560 · 2 grades — These are nickel-base and chromium-nickel casting alloys in which iron is only a minor or residual element.
Tin bronze, gunmetal & bell bronze
EN 1982 · DIN 1705 · ASTM B505 · 8 grades — Tin bronzes are copper–tin alloys in which tin raises strength, hardness and wear resistance and gives good sliding behaviour against steel.
Aluminium bronze
EN 1982 · ASTM B148 · 6 grades — Aluminium bronzes are copper–aluminium alloys that form a tenacious alumina surface film, giving high strength together with good resistance to sea water, erosion and cavitation.
Copper-nickel
EN 1982 · 2 grades — Cast copper-nickel alloys are single-phase copper–nickel solid solutions with small, controlled additions of iron and manganese.
Cast brass & high-tensile brass
EN 1982 · CDA · 2 grades — Cast brasses are copper–zinc alloys; at higher zinc contents they solidify with a duplex alpha-beta structure that casts and machines well, and lead is added for free machining.
Aluminium casting alloys
EN 1706 · AA · BS 1490 · 9 grades — Aluminium casting alloys are mostly aluminium-silicon alloys, in which silicon provides the fluidity and low shrinkage needed for sound castings.
