The goal | The objective of this course is to enable the acquisition of fundamental knowledge about the specificities of the melting and casting processes, on one hand, and about the microstructure, properties, and application, on the other, of different types of cast iron, such as gray cast iron, ductile iron, white cast iron and alloyed white iron. | |||
The outcome | By acquiring knowledge about the different types of cast iron alloys, their structure and properties, students will be able to make well informed decisions in the process of selection of the appropriate material for particular operating conditions. | |||
