Graphite nodules in Spheroidal graphite cast iron (SGI) play a vital role in fatigue crack initiation and propagation. The graphite nodule growth morphology can go through transitions to form degenerated graphite nodules other than spheroidal graphite nodules in SGI microstructure. These graphite no...
