Covering historical perspective, experimental design and testing and analysis respectively, the three papers will be presented at the event on Thursday, April 10. The first investigates the roles of the chemicals in the material and their influence on strength, using thermodynamic calculations to establish two regions in cast iron chemistries. The results of this literature review were used as the basis for a research project to develop an understanding how to control and maximize strength in gray cast iron, outlined in the subsequent papers.
