    Microstructure: It is defined as the structure of material which is revealed by a microscope above 25 x magnification and also called as the small scale structure of a material.

    - Microstructures of malleable cast iron show rosettes of tempered carbon in the matrix of ferrite.

    - Microstructures of spheroidal cast iron have nodules of graphite.

    - Microstructures of white cast iron show dendrites of pearlite and the remaining part is cementite.

    - Microstructures of gray cast iron show graphite flakes.
