While the classification of the graphite form is accomplished on the: basis of this standard in comparison to reference pictures, the computer aided image analysis with specific ‘software parameters might be applied for this material as well, "Nodularity not only depends on the production process influenced, for example, by the chemical composition, the remaining magnesium concentration or the inoculation method, but also on the solidification rate of the ‘melt in the respective wall areas. Furthermore, it is possible to influence the graphite form in the contact area of the mould area as well ‘The nodule roundness marks only one aspect of the material quality. Further parameters influencing the ‘material qualities are, among others, the number of graphite particles and their distribution, the pearite concentration and its arrangement, the solid solution strengthening of the ferite and possible microshrinkage. Conceming the guarantee of the minimum material properties specified in this standard, it is therefore impossible to define precise standards of nodularty for certain solidification modulus. However, experience shows that a nodularity of 80% or more generally ensures the minimum tensile Properties specified in this European Standard, as long as the matrix of the chosen variety is adjusted accordingly. Most of the 15 % to 20 % of graphite not being in form V and VI is then in form IV and possibly in {orm ill (and may even be of form I! in thick walled castings). See also A.2.3, For castings subjected to severe loading, in particular under fatigue conditions, a higher nodularity (including ‘requirements for a specific percentage of form V and VI graphite) may be required, especially for ferric. Peatitic to pearlitic grades. Such a requirement should be evaluated by an experimental study, specific to the casting and the material grade. Ultrasonic velocity and sound resonance frequency are influenced by graphite structure. Their measurement, after calibration, can give information on nodulatity. However, this measurement cannot replace metallographic examination, 34 Normar-Downlond Bouldin Book iterations!
