It is known that the Ferrite content of the Matrix depends on the Chemical Composition of Ductile Iron on the rate at which it is cooled through the Eutectoid Transformation range.
[FIGURE 2 OMITTED] It also was found that microcarbide formation is controlled by: elements that control carbon diffusion rate between eutectic and eutectoid temperatures; shakeout temperature; and excess concentrations of carbide-forming elements.
For gray iron castings, according to the foundry, a high cooling rate results in: * quick solidification with refined solidification structure; * higher carbon content in the austentite matrix, resulting in a high volume percent of carbide in the pearlite structure; * quick eutectoid phase transformation, resulting in a refined pearlite structure.
