Conclusions
-
1.
The rate and means by which graphite is formed (directly or from carbide) depend on the composition of the steel and the degree of supercooling of austenite.
-
2.
Deoxidation of the steel with aluminum and defects in the cast structure (chemical and physical microheterogeneities) increase the rate of graphitization.
