Abstract Compacted graphite iron (CGI) was attractive as an important material for the industry since its introduction
in the last century. Thanks to its high strength, great wear resistance and thermal conductivity, CGI became
extensively applied in the automotive industry as engine parts: brake drums, cylinder heads and exhaust
manifolds. As a metal-matrix composite, CGI contains two microstructural phases: graphite inclusions and a
metallic matrix. The main fracture mechanism of CGI under high-temperature service conditions at
macroscale is linked to graphite-matrix (interfacial) debonding, formation of microcracks and their
networks, and final failure of the material at microscale because of the mismatch… More >
