Overview 1. Why using cast iron 2. When using fracture mechanics 3. Fracture Mechanics Methods 4. Application for cast iron (GJS700) 5. Conclusions
When using fracture mechanics 1. Elongation is smaller than 12 % ( ab GJS 450). 2. No toughness requirements (except LT-Grades). 3. Load Deformation Behaviour with low plastic deformation capacity. 4. Quality level of NDT according toen12680-3, EN 1369, EN1371. 5. Fatigue Loading (High Cycle). 6. Low Temperature application (down to -40 C).

Conclusions 1. GJS (EN1563), a flexible and economic material 2. Toughness oriented Limit State Design available (Fracture Mechanics, especially for low temperature and high strength) 3. But: Toughness and Fatigue properties aer missing and derivation is expensive 4. And: Applciation fo fracture mechanics not commonly used (specialised experts) 5. Solution 1: Specific formulation of Boundary Conditions for FM Analysis (Example: Planet Carrier Guideline worked out by AK Planetenträger, VDMA), 6. Solution 2: Derivation of Material Properties from Master Curve or Correlationen 7. Solution 3: Joint Industry Project
