Synchrotron 3D X-ray Laue microdiffraction, available at beamline 34-ID-E at Advanced
Photon Source in Argonne National Laboratory, is a powerful tool for 3D non-destructive …

The understanding of the mechanisms controlling deformation of ductile iron at the micro-
scale and their coupling to the manufacturing conditions is still far from complete. In this …

The morphology of the fatigue crack in nodular cast iron has great influence on the material
performance under cyclic loading. In contrast to previous phenomenological studies, the …

The microstructure and residual elastic strain at graphite nodules (GNs) in ductile cast iron
produced using either a fast or slow cooling rate have been characterized using synchrotron …

In this paper, a micromechanical model was developed to predict the residual stress–strain
state that is generated around nodules of a ferritic ductile cast iron during solidification. A …

Through various examples, this short review presents the main X‐ray‐based techniques that
are available to characterize nodular cast iron at the microstructural level. Emphasis is …

Little is known today about the mechanical properties of the graphite nodules, despite the
key influence these particles have on the performance of ductile cast irons. To address this …

A key challenge in micromechanical simulation of ductile cast iron is the identification of the
constitutive properties of the microstructural constituents. In recent scientific literature, ductile …

Abstract EN-GJS-400-15U nodular cast iron intended to be used as load-bearing element in
long-term geological disposal canisters containing spent nuclear fuel in Finland and …

For decades, researchers have been concerned about the formability of manufactured
wrought cast iron, with brittleness being a major issue in these alloys. To address this, the …
