The internal structure of different types of graphite commonly found in the ductile cast iron were investigated by TEM technique for TEM samples prepared by FIB method to understand their nucleation and growth. Spheroidal and vermicular graphite were observed in the ductile cast iron with spheroidizing treatment. Flake graphite was observed in the same cast iron without the spheroidizing treatment. The spheroidal graphite had a three-fold internal structure, with an amorphous-like central region, annual rings of a layered intermediate region, and an outer region made up of large polygonal crystalline platelets in a mosaic-like structure. The vermicular and flake graphite had a similar to that of the outer region of the spheroidal graphite, in that it consisted of similar crystalline platelets.

To enlarge both horizontal (azimuthal) and vertical (zenithal) viewing zones simultaneously, a convex parabolic mirror is placed after passing through the hologram. Viewers perceive a three-dimensional (3D) object inside the parabolic mirror as a virtual image by capturing the wavefront radially reflected from the parabolic mirror. The optical experiment using the convex parabolic mirror has demonstrated an extremely wide viewing zone with an azimuthal range of 180° and zenithal range of 90°. The viewing zone and the shape of the parabolic surface are analyzed. The hologram is designed considering the parabolic mirror reflection, and its diffraction calculation method based on Fermat’s principle is also proposed.
