In fact, the lower cost compared to other alloys, and the good castability, which allow one to obtain near-net shape components in as-cast conditions, and the mechanical properties that can be obtained, are just some of the motivations that attract mechanical designers. However, correct design requires a good knowledge of the intrinsic correlation among alloy chemical composition, process parameters, microstructure (with casting defects) and mechanical properties. This book is aimed at collecting excellent and recent research experimental and theoretical works in this filed. Technological (say, wear resistance and weldability) and mechanical properties (say, Young modulus, static and fatigue strength) of different grades of cast irons, ranging from solution strengthened ferritic ductile iron to compacted graphite iron as well as white and nodular cast irons, are correlated with the alloy chemical composition, process parameters and casting dimension.Cast Irons History of engineering & technologybicsscboundary element method (BEM)periodic boundary conditionsrepresentative volume elements (RVEs)effective elastic propertieshomogenizationlamellar graphite ironultimate tensile strengthprimary austenitegravity casting process simulationnodular cast ironeffective Young's moduluscomputational homogenizationmultiscale numerical methodsmicro-CTfinite elementssilicon solution strengthened ferritic ductile ironthicknesssolidification timemicrostructuremechanical propertiesfatiguethermal analysisweldabilitypre-heatingspheroidal graphite cast ironductile cast ironstensile testsplasticity modellingcompacted graphite ironminimum quantity lubrication (MQL)drilling machinabilitydry machiningductile ironcooling ratesegregationcast ironhigh-chromiumabrasive wearniobium alloyinghigh chromium cast ironseutectic carbidecarbide volume fractionchemical compositionimage analysissimulationMatCalchardnessHistory of engineering & technologyFerro Paoloedt1310954Ferro PaoloothBOOK9910557285703321Cast Irons3029948UNINA
