There are many to contend that today human civilization has reached the age of engineered
materials, yet the importance of iron castings continues to support the thesis that we are still …

The three-step austempering heat treatment of ductile iron parts in this paper is simulated by
employing a coupled thermo-mechanical-metallurgical model. The thermo-mechanical …

In computations of the kinetics of austenitizing, a one-dimensional model of austenite growth
assuming a diffusion-related mechanism acting between the lamellae of ferrite and …

This paper presents a coupled thermo-mechanical-metallurgical formulation to predict the
dimensional changes and microstructure of a ductile cast iron part as a consequence of an …

This paper presents a new metallurgical model for the ausferritic transformation of ductile
cast iron. The model allows predicting the evolution of phases in terms of the chemical …

The development of the ausferritic transformation of a ductile iron was analysed using a
novel cellular automaton-finite difference model, which considers geometrical details of the …

This research studies the transformation kinetics of austempered ductile iron (ADI) with and
without nickel as the main alloying element. ADI has improved mechanical properties …

The study presents a mathematical model of the crystallisation of nodular graphite cast iron.
The proposed model is based on micro-and macromodels, in which heat flow is analysed at …

In this work, a model is proposed for heterogeneous nucleation on substrates (sites) whose
size distribution can be described by Weibull statistics. It is found that the nuclei density N …

The influence of alloy element distributions on austempered ductile iron microstructure and
austempering treatment was analysed by a cellular automaton model that considers the …
