6) Summarization
• The new grades of GJS give a optimized combination of strength and
thoughness (static loading).
• The worse influence of carbide generating elements is suppressed by
the high Si content.
• The castability of the Si alloyed GJS is not worse than the conventional
alloys
• The inoculation technology must be adapted to the new grades
• The high Si contents enhance the probability of graphite deviations
• The cyclic mechanical properties of the Si alloyed GJS grades are
higher
