Abstract
Hypereutectic cast iron specimens cast using chills that were water-cooled and liquid-nitrogen-cooled were compared with specimens of the same chemica l composition which were sand cast without any chill. The solidification be haviour, number of eutectic cells, grain size and the effects of these on t he mechanical properties like strength and fracture toughness were recorded and analysed in this paper.
