“…However, the effect of morphology and size of the second phase particles, that is, graphite spheroids has been taken into account mainly in the context of material's macroscopic properties (Cooper, Elliott, & Young, ; Gaudig, Mellert, Weber, & Schmauder, ). Microscopic observations of fracture surface topography of cast irons were usually focused on the damage mechanism in the metal matrix, due to either applied loading mode or its microstructure characteristic (Fatahalla & Hussein, ; Gazda, Warmuzek, & Bitka, ; Martínez, ; Warmuzek & Polkowska, ).…”
