Compacted graphite iron (CGI), also known as vermicular graphite iron (GJV, VG, JV or GGV from the German: "Gusseisen mit Vermiculargraphit") especially in non-English speaking countries, is a metal which is gaining popularity in applications that require either greater strength, or lower weight than cast iron.

Compacted graphite (CG) irons are a form of cast iron recognized since the 1960s (Shellang 1965) as having unique mechanical and physical properties determined ...

Compacted graphite iron has good casting characteristics, due to its high fluidity and low solidification shrinkage. The tensile, yield and fatigue strengths of ...

Compacted Graphite Iron is intermediate to gray and ductile iron in its microstructure, its properties and its production in the foundry. As such, CGI ...

CGI is 75 percent stronger and up to 75 percent stiffer than gray iron. The thermal and damping characteristics of CGI are midway between ductile and gray iron.

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) can be considered as a promising engineering material which contains graphite particles in compacted (vermicular) form. CGI shows ...
