Survey.

ASTM grade 70-50-05 is a type of ductile cast iron. It is furnished in the as-fabricated (no
temper or treatment) condition. 70-50-05 is the ASTM designation for this material. 500-7 is
the ISO numeric designation. The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare
ASTM grade 70-50-05 to: cast irons (top), all iron alloys (middle), and the entire database
(bottom). The length of each bar shows the given value as a % of the largest value in the
relevant set.
