The present work is an effort to culminate the status, the scopes and the challenges in the
development of ferrous metal matrix composites (FMMCs). The FMMCs are older but …

The present work is to study the influence of ferrite and pearlite content on mechanical
properties of ductile cast irons. Three casts with different microstructures were produced …

This paper investigates graphite decohesion as the primary fracture mechanism of
compacted graphite iron (CGI) subjected to thermal load. Despite CGI's extensive industrial …

In the present paper, a procedure for fatigue strength assessment of metals containing
solidification defects is employed to analyze the fatigue behavior of a ductile cast iron (DCI) …

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) plays an increasingly important role in the cylinder head of
diesel industry because of its good thermal and mechanical properties. In this study, tensile …

The mechanical properties of compacted graphite iron (CGI) may undergo degradation
when it exposes at high temperature environment for a long period of time. In this study, the …

In the present paper, the fatigue behaviour of two Ductile Cast Irons (DCIs) is analyzed. Both
infinite and finite life fatigue tests are simulated by employing the Carpinteri et al. criterion …

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) has gained significant attention in automotive industry
applications thanks to its superior thermomechanical properties and competitive price. Its …

To investigate the wear time-varying characteristics of cylinder liner cast iron, dry sliding
wear experiments were conducted on the cylinder liner and piston ring at room temperature …

In the last decades, the combination of high mechanical performances and low production
costs increased the industrial interest on ductile cast irons. These grades are often used for …
