Graphite nodule count and size distribution in thin-walled ductile cast iron

Undercooling and nodule count in thin walled ductile iron castings

Experimental validation of error in temperature measurements in thin walled ductile iron castings

Eutectic cell and nodule count as the quality factors of cast iron

In this work the predictions based on a theoretical analysis aimed at elucidating of eutectic cell count or nodule counts N were experimentally verified. The experimental work was focused on processing flake graphite and ductile iron under various inoculation conditions in order to achieve various physicochemical states of the experimental melts. In addition, plates of various wall thicknesses,...

Fatigue Performance of Forged Steel and Ductile Cast Iron Crankshafts

Fatigue is the primary cause of failure of crankshafts in internal combustion engines. The cyclic loading conditions and the stress concentrations in the crank pin fillets are unavoidable, and can result in fatigue failure. The objectives of this study were to compare the fatigue behavior of forged steel and ductile iron crankshafts from a one-cylinder engine as well as to determine if the fati...
