In a previous publication, preliminary results obtained using secondary ion mass spectrometry to determine selective elemental distributions in cast iron were reported. These results were used to tentatively assign possible roles to the important solutes in controlling the graphite morphology. The current paper is a continuation of this work and presents the most recent results of the SIMS analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
