| Abstract: | In recent decade materials have been a key to increase the performance of automotive parts
which leads to development of new materials. Main objective is to achieve increase in quantity
and quality of automotive parts produced and for an optimum performance along their life cycle.
Cast iron has remained a competitive material due, in part, to its low production cost. In fact,
among the cast iron group one of an alternative is lightweight alloys i.e. compacted graphite iron
(CGI). Now-a-days, it is accepted that CGI can effectively reduce the total weight of an
automobile by virtue of its high strength, when compared to other cast irons and aluminum
alloys. The paper gives a comparative view of CGI with gray cast iron (GCI) & ductile iron (DI).
Surface morphology studied by SEM micrograph. Tensile strength and other properties can be
calculated by stress-strain curve. Hardness measured by Brinell hardness testing m/c. Several
metallurgical variables need to be strictly control... |
