Features: "Cast Iron Colored Gold Research" is an academic monograph that utilizes colored gold research techniques to study the structure, morphology, transformation, and interrelationships of solidification structures (including graphite, carbides, austenite, and eutectic grain boundary precipitates) formed during the liquid-solid phase transition process of cast iron. It is written based on the author's many years of research results and the latest domestic and international literature. Over 200 color photographs showing solidification structures under various conditions and nearly 400 references reflecting the latest progress in cast iron theory greatly enrich and enhance the content of this book. The book consists of five chapters, with the first chapter being a general introduction, and the remaining four chapters cover: Gray Cast Iron, Ductile Iron, Mottled Iron, and White Cast Iron. Each type of cast iron is discussed in turn, covering primary phases, eutectic phases, grain boundary formation at the end of eutectic, and segregation. This book can be used by researchers, educators, and engineering technicians engaged in casting and materials engineering, as well as reference material for graduate students and university students.
