Gv. Shcherbedinskii et Mi. Kopev, PRODUCTION OF HIGH-STRENGTH HIGH-DUCTILITY DEFORMABLE CAST-IRON - STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES, Russian metallurgy. Metally, (2), 1995, pp. 87-90
A new structural material was developed - deformable cast iron possess
ing a unique combination of properties: high strength along with high
ductility, superior wear and corrosion resistance, low sensitivity to
stress concentrators. The development was based on carefully matching
the composition and the conditions of melting, casting, deformation an
d heat treatment. Regarding several characteristics, deformable cast i
ron surpasses cast iron and low-alloy steels.
