The compacted graphite was obtained by Inmold technology. The lack of significant effect on the temperature of the eutectic transformation was demonstrated. On the other hand, a significant reduction in the eutectoid transformation temperature with increasing manganese concentration has been shown. The effect of manganese on microstructure of cast iron with compacted graphite considering casting wall thickness was investigated and described. The nomograms describing the microstructure of compacted graphite iron versus manganese concentration were developed. The effect of manganese on the hardness of cast iron and microhardness of ferrite and pearlite were given.}, type={Article}, title={The Effect of Manganese on the Crystallisation Process, Microstructure and Selected Properties of Compacted Graphite iron}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/113578/PDF/AMM-2019-4-09-Gumienny.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.130090}, keywords={compacted graphite iron, crystallization, manganese, DTA method}, }
