Study of Al/cast iron interface and graphite behavior by Akbarifar M., Divandari M.

“…The thickness of the interaction layer varied from 5μm, for the sample produced at 700°C and 3 Vm/Vs, up to 20μm for the sample poured at 750°C and 8 Vm/Vs. Microstructural analysis showed that increasing of the temperature and the melt-to-solid (m/s) volume ratio leads to the formation of a thicker and more uniform intermetallic layer. …”
