- Abstract
One of the main factors in determining the different grades of ductile iron is the matrix structure. In the as-cast condition, the matrix will consist of varying proportions of pearlite and ferrite, and as the amount of pearlite increases, the strength and hardness of the iron also increase. Three different nodular cast irons are here considered and their microstructure characterised in detail using metallographic methods. Then micromechanics models based on the unit cell approach and the finite element method are introduced to describe the actual constitutive response of the materials and the predicted behaviours are compared with experiments.
