This work focuses on the study of the solidification macrostructure of compacted graphite iron and its relationship with shrinkage porosity formation. Cast samples especially developed to present shrinkage porosity were ...

In the last three decades, the revolutionary material; the austempered ductile iron (ADI) with its unique combination of mechanical properties, has been offering the design engineer alternatives to conventional material ...

The fluidity and solidification characteristic of alloy melt will affect the casting quality directly. It is necessary to build up a system to evaluate fluidity and solidification characteristic simultaneously. A new system, ...

While the manufacture of compacted graphite (CG) iron castings has seen significant expansion over the recent years, the growth of CG during iron solidification is still not fully understood. In this work effort was expanded ...
