Determining morphology and distribution of graphite automatically Properties such as tremendous hardness and ductility as well as low raw materials costs, malleability and low shaping costs have made cast iron a commonly used material for the metal-processing industry. The quality and properties of cast iron are primarily determined by its graphite content. This is why it is so critical for product development and quality assurance purposes to evaluate the morphology and distribution of graphite within iron.
