Description
Cast iron SCH21 used: for the manufacture of castings of heads and cylinder blocks in car and tractor construction; machine beds, marking plates, cylinders, valves, machine tools; exhaust pipes, flywheels, fundamental frames, crankcases, covers, working cylinders, blocks, and other critical parts in diesel technology; gears, pulleys, and other machines are significantly loaded items in chemical engineering; casting parts of valves and actuators to it; cast connecting parts for pipelines.
Note
Ferritic-pearlitic cast iron.

Fe is the basis.
The chemical composition is given on the basis of GOST 1412-54 data and reference literature based on obtaining the required time resistance at break and calculating the carbon equivalent, in GOST 1412-85 the chemical composition is not specified, while it is allowed to make castings from cast iron grade СЧ21 at the request of the consumer. Allowed low alloying of cast iron with various elements (chromium, nickel, copper, phosphorus, etc.).
