By increasing the number of graphite nodules during solidification, the rate of release of latent heat due to graphite crystallization increases, and the end of freezing temperature is raised above the cementite liquidus line, preventing carbide formation.
Lowering the temperatures of the liquid phase, a possible excess of graphite contained in the liquid phase becomes solid at the liquidus line (point A) and the concentration of graphite in the liquid phase is decreasing.
The liquidus line shows that the UHMW-PE melting point decrease as the solvent content is increased.
