Metal Science and Heat Treatment of Metals Aims and scope

Conclusions

Length changes of Mg-cast iron depend on the initial condition of the iron and the subsequent heat treatment. The largest linear expansion is caused by graphitization of eutectic cementite and of cementite present in ledeburite; the least, by graphitization of eutectoid cementite.
