Abstract (EN):
In this technical note, evidence is presented that the
solidification of ductile iron involves the formation of
austenite dendrites in the melt and graphite growth
along the primary axis of this dendritic austenite,
forming the so called austenite shell. This behaviour is
compatible with the widespread melt theory, suggesting
that graphite forms in the melt simultaneously with
austenite dendrites.
