The Reliability of the Results of the Modified Low-cycle Fatigue Test for Cast Iron Evaluated by Metallographic Studies

Abstract

This study discloses the characteristic features of the modified low-cycle fatigue test used for the determination of the mechanical properties of two types of cast iron, i.e. EN-GJL-250 and EN-GJS-600-3. For selected materials, metallographic studies were also conducted in the range of light microscopy and scanning microscopy.
