Les fontes grises ordinaires sont des alliages fragiles qui ne supportent pratiquement pas la déformation plastique [...] Cette fragilité est due essentiellement aux lamelles de graphite qui constituent des solutions de continuité sans aucune résistance à la traction [...] On a donc cherché à modifier la forme de précipitation du graphite pour atténuer ses effets fragilisants, et c'est ainsi que sont apparues en 1948 les fontes à graphite sphéroïdal où le graphite est réparti sous forme sensiblement sphérique au lieu d'être en lamelles. 6, record 1, French, - fonte%20%C3%A0%20graphite%20sph%C3%A9ro%C3%AFdal
