DEF

A cast iron made by prolonged annealing of white cast iron in which decarburization or graphitization, or both take place to eliminate some or all of the cementite.

CONT

The graphite is in the form of temper carbon. If decarburization is the predominant reaction, the product will exhibit a large fracture, hence, "whiteheart malleable;" otherwise, the fracture surface will be dark, hence, "blackheart malleable."
