Ductile cast iron (DCI) is a commonly used material in the automotive industry. DCI has a superior fatigue due to the presence of graphite in its microstructure. In this study, the grade of ferritic ductile iron, EN-GJS-500-14, is being used. This material has mechanical properties of E = 170 GPa, y...
