Abstract

By combining heat extraction laws with kinetic growth laws, the solidification process of nodular, grey and white cast iron have been calculated. The risk for formation of white structure during solidification of grey and nodular cast iron was calculated. The calculations was done for different thickness of the casting as well as, as a function of the number of growing units. The fraction of white structure was also calculated.
