Image analytical characterization of graphite in grey cast iron and classification of lamellar arrangement
Abstract
The present article initially gives a survey of methods to characterize the morphology of graphite in stably solidified grey cast iron alloys. It presents a new method for a classification of lamellar graphite using image analysis, which is based on valid industrial standards or in-house guidelines. This method relies on expert knowledge in the form of a database which is comprised of carefully classified images of microstructures. This allows foundries and cast product purchasers to analyze graphite formation in cast iron components containing lamellar graphite.
