Cast Iron is an alloy of Fe-C-Si with carbon content greater than 2.11% and is used in the as-cast state or aftertreatment. Magnesium was added in varying quantities to cast iron and by studying the graphite morphology, nodularityand mechanical properties it was found that addition of 0.035% Mg to cast iron makes the mechanical properties of thiscast iron comparable to graded heat treated material 65-45-12. Moreover due to increased nodulairty there could also beincrease in machinability which needs to be investigated further
