Abstract

Iron-base alloys, that include steel and cast iron, are some of the oldest man made materials. However, they have enjoyed a remarkable longevity because of their wide range of mechanical and physical properties, coupled with their competitive price. Today, iron-base alloys are by far the most widely used casting material (Figure 14.1). While their development has followed the classic path of perception followed by rationalization, it was only relatively recently that these materials have been studied as mathematical systems.
