Heat treatment and its effect on mechanical properties of grey and nodular cast irons / Nazri Said
Without doubt iron is the world's most important metal. The industrial civilisation is largely based on iron and on its alloys. Cast iron is produced by remelting pig iron and scrap in a cupola furnace, where the charge is in contact with the fuel and fluxes; or in a reverberatory furnace, a ro...
