On the basis of a mathematical model of alloys containing graphite inclusions, we obtain analytic relations for the prediction of mechanical properties of the material (ultimate strength \( {\upsigma_{\operatorname{u}}} \) and static crack resistance \( {K_{{\operatorname{IC}}}} \)) depending on the shape and volume content of these inclusions.
