KEY POINTS IN SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS OF GRAY CAST IRON AND NODULAR CAST IRON (4)
Morphology of primary AUSTENITE DENDRITE The Crystal Lattice of austenite is face-centered cubic. When the AUSTENITE is nucleated and grown directly from the liquid iron, the AUSTENITE is stable only when the surface energy is minimum and octahedral crystal is formed. Then, because the concentration gradient of solute in the liquid iron at the edge […]
