A heavy section ductile casting (HSDIC) with dimensions of Φ590 mm×800 mm was prepared. Cooling curves at the center, at 85 mm from the center, at 170 mm from the center and at 255 mm from the center of the casting were recorded and analyzed. The results show that the precipitation of initial graphi...
