Gray cast iron belongs to the group of iron casts that contain graphite particles in the
microstructure. Graphite particles in gray cast iron have the shape of lamellae and are connected
to each other. The specific combination of properties of gray cast iron, which is satisfactory for
many applications, and simple and cheap production are the main reasons for its very wide
application. For many years, gray cast iron has been the most used material for making metal
castings. In this paper, there are microstructure tests for different variations of alloying gray cast
iron with chromium, molybdenum, and copper. The assumption is that these elements influence the
formation of pearlite in the microstructure, in different combinations.
