Generally used for temperatures from 500°F to 1000°F
This material is a form of gray cast iron which is produced utilizing flake graphite. For Meehanite sliding against a ground steel plate (63 to 125 RMS) a design friction factor of 15% is appropriate.
Grade Type GA50 (50,000 Tensile Strength) is usually specified for bearing applications.
