The paper shows the preliminary results of uniaxial tension tests on a pearlitic Ductile Cast
Iron (DCI) by using the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique as well as the Scanning Electron …

The paper presents the preliminary results of Acoustic Emission (AE) tests on a peralitic
ductile cast iron (DCI) subjected to fatigue tensile loading. The focus is on the evaluation of …

The damaging micromechanisms in a pearlitic (EN‐GJS700‐2) ductile cast iron (DCI) are
investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis and acoustic …

This study investigated the use of acoustic emission (AE) signals for the crack initiation
detection in a ductile cast iron, EN-GJS700-2. Uniform uniaxial tensile tests were performed …

Salzbrenner has recently determined the fracture toughness of a series of ductile cast iron
samples which were heat treated to produce a fully ferritic matrix. His results indicated that …

There is a lack of knowledge concerning the evolution of stress-induced damage in cast iron
on the microstructural scale. This study addresses this need by investigating the continuous …

Materials' testing is an extremely important process in the modern world with new colossal
structures being built in every corner of the earth, with the ever-increasing size of structures …

In this study, acoustic emissions (AE) were analyzed to detect the onset of crack growth in
nodular cast iron during dynamic loading at room temperature, 50° C and 65° C. To …

Mechanical behavior of an AISI/SAE 8620 steel and of a sintered Fe-P alloy has been
investigated using acoustic emission signals. Four-point bending tests were carried out …

The deformation of metallic materials includes both an elastic and a plastic deformation. In
the case of cast irons, the elastic region becomes less pronounced as the graphite changes …
