Abstract
The local microstructure and distribution of thermally induced residual strains in ferrite matrix grains around an individual spherical graphite nodule in ductile cast iron (DCI) were measured using a synchrotron X-ray micro-diffraction technique. It is found that the matrix grains are deformed, containing dislocations and dislocation boundaries. Each of the residual strain components in the matrix grains exhibits a complex pattern along the circumferential direction of the nodule. Along the radial direction of the nodule, strain gradients from the interface to the grain interior are seen for some strain components, but only in some matrix grains. The observed residual strain patterns have been analysed by finite element modelling, and a comparison between the simulation and experiments is given. The present study of local residual stress by both experimental characterization and simulation provide much needed information for understanding the mechanical properties of DCI, and represent an important contribution for the microstructural design of new DCI materials.
