The strength of as cast iron and normalized cast iron subjected to cyclic loading

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical investigation of the high-cycle fatique of special as-cast and normalized irons, which later in the text are refereed to as GI (grade iron) and SGI (sherical graphite iron). Well-known types of cast iron have been modified to achieve better mechanical properties and an improved resistance to crack formation and development as well as propagation. [...]
