Cast irons are materials with complex internal structures, exhibiting multiple changes in physical and mechanical properties due to graphite in their microstructures. In this study, various amounts of silicon alloys and ferrite were added to samples of lamellar, compacted, and spheroidal graphite cast irons to ...
This article is a literature review of research that has been done on the thermal conductivity of cast iron. The article outlines the effects of graphite additives, alloying elements, matrix, and temperature on the thermal conductivity. Numerical models that have been developed are also discussed ...
