Oz said:Thanks for the try Gill as I had not tried that, but below is what I got.
I found I am in need of reading the fine lines and cross references within this standard as to gray iron, ductile iron, and compacted graphite iron. It is the distribution and form of the graphite that is the principle issue, falling within the cross reference standard is nice but secondary.
Oz said:I really appreciate the trouble you are going to on my behalf and perhaps I should have been more clear in my request. It is the ISO standard itself I must read with its cross references to the standard. I read all of the sublinks on your first reply, and read the titles and sublinks in your second reply.
It is not the differences between the materials I need to learn as I have spent much time researching and am familiar with the different cast irons and the graphite configurations within their matrix, pros and cons for my application. Perhaps I am being a bit too particular but I am searching in great detail as to the best material for bar molds I will be machining. Material cost of the proper iron is secondary in my decision making process as these will be molds made to last a lifetime of use.
I had hoped someone here had a subscription to the academia publications I need to read that are cost prohibitive to me.
