Globular Graphite: Structure, Composition

  • CAST IRON
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The structure and elemental composition of graphite inclusions uncovered on high-strength cast iron by etching are studied. The chemical composition at various points and regions of graphite inclusions is determined. It is shown that the globular graphite is a unique lamellar-spiral system of micro- and nanoformations.
