This third part of the review on defects as root cause of fatigue failure addresses cavities
(pores, micro-shrinkages, unmelted regions), defective microstructures and microcracks as …

Ferritic spheroidal graphite cast iron (SGI) materials have a remarkable technical potential
and economic impact in modern industry. These features are closely related to the question …

Cu-based brake pads for high-speed train were tested in full-scale at braking speeds as
high as 380 km/h. The microstructure, composition and properties of the original, worn and …

The crankshaft is one of the structural components of the engine that converts the linear
motion of the piston into rotational motion. In this study, the failure analysis of spheroidal …

The wear map can directly reflect the wear state and mechanism of the friction pair under
different conditions and is widely used in wear prediction and fault diagnosis of steel …

In this article, high-cycle bending fatigue and fracture behaviors of the EN-GJS700-2 ductile
cast iron, which has been widely utilized for crankshafts in engines, was experimentally …

The paper provides an overview on material defects which may serve as fatigue crack
initiation sites and can cause final fatigue failure of a component. These comprise non …

Spheroidal graphite cast iron is widely used in automobile crankshafts due to features such
as high strength, high toughness, good machinability, low cost, and ductility. The purpose of …

The extensive tribological use of nodular cast iron in ground transport industry, eg, trains
and automobiles, has brought growing scientific interest. The various applications of this …

In the present paper, the fatigue behaviour of two Ductile Cast Irons (DCIs) is analyzed. Both
infinite and finite life fatigue tests are simulated by employing the Carpinteri et al. criterion …
