The mechanical properties of gray cast iron largely depend on its microstructure. Gray cast iron without inoculation treatment has unstable microstructure, low mechanical properties, and white fractures easily appear in the thin wall of the casting. In order to ensure uniform and good casting quality, inoculation treatment is essential.
