The Occurrence and the Effect of Casting Skin in Compacted Graphite Iron

Most iron castings retain their as-cast surfaces because of their geometric complexity and to minimize the machining costs. However, the mechanical properties that are documented in standards (i.e. ASTM) are tested on fully machined test bars. Therefore, the effect of the as-cast surface and sub-sur...
