Sulfur, an element that belongs to group 16 (chalcogens) of the periodic table, is an excellent promoter of nucleation substrates for graphite in cast iron. In ductile iron, sulfur favors a higher nodule count, which inhibits the risk of carbides and of microporosity. It is reasonable to expect that...
