    Abstract
    Graphitization in steels is a subject which has been studied temporarily in past decades. The importance of this phenomenon is due to the fact that graphite formation in steels can ease machining treatment and increase cold-work capability of steels. Weight reduction of the parts and the dedicated bioenvironmental properties of these steels are considered as a valuable replacement for lead containing steels for researchers. Anyway there has been always the assumption that this operation is long and not economically cost effective. For this reason due to the different conditions of applied heat treatments, the effects of the temperature and the time period of heat treatment on the... 

    As-cast microstructures of aluminium containing ductile cast iron

    , Article TMS Annual Meeting, 14 February 2010 through 18 February 2010, Seattle, WA ; 2010 , Pages 37-47 ; 9781617822933 (ISBN) Kiani Rashid, A. R ; Shayesteh Zeraati, A ; Naser Zoshki, H ; Yousef Sani, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper, the effect of aluminum content on the formation mechanism, volume fraction, morphology and particle size distribution of graphite has been investigated. Addition of aluminum on ductile iron causes some fundamental changes in iron-carbon phase-diagram and as a result, improves the graphite formation during eutectic transformation. The results reveals that aluminum compounds have been formed in the core of graphite nodules, thus aluminum plays an important role in the formation of graphite nodules. Furthermore, it is indicated that an increase in the aluminum content also leads to an increase in the number of graphite nodules and a decrease in the nodules size. By using EPMA,...
