Thermomechanical–microstructural modelling of nodular cast iron solidification
This paper presents a thermomechanical–microstructural formulation for the analysis of the solidification process of nodular cast irons of eutectic composition. This formulation is defined in a finite strain thermoplasticity framework considering multinodular microstructure based liquid–solid phase change effects.

Improved analytical method for chemical analysis of cast irons. Application to castings with chunky graphite [PDF]
Chunky graphite is a particular form of graphite degeneracy that appears in the centre of large iron castings, with a well-defined transition from the outer unaffected area and the inner affected one.
