Mathematical Characterization of the Tensile Deformation Curve of Cast Iron Materials

Abstract:

The manufacturing process gives cast iron castings properties which are dependent on component design, metallurgy and casting method. Factors as local wall thickness influences the coarseness and type of microstructure and the material will have local properties depending on the local metallurgical and thermal history. The stress/strain behaviour of cast products at load are typically performed by using a tensile test machine.
