“…This means that the finer the ferrite in the cast iron matrix, the better the strength properties. There are many studies on the effects attributable to the ultra-fineness of phase components on the functional properties of various materials (e.g., [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ]); however, relatively few papers address ADI cast irons only.…”
