Heat treatments are the most common method of transforming or modifying the structure of white cast iron, where cementite tapes can be decomposed at high temperatures and over a long period of time, but these thermal treatments require special furnaces and a long period of time, as well as a high cost with major problems associated with these techniques. In this study, a mechanical thermal treatment is employed, which includes two basic stages, the first being heating at a certain temperature (1100°C) for a rather short period of time, then applying sequential strokes (one stroke or group of strokes) for a period not exceeding a few minutes. Samples are examined by meticulous microscopic inspection as well as by x-ray examination. The findings proved that heating for short or long periods of time and at (1100°C) is not sufficient to get rid of cementite tapes, as the structure remained white cast iron. The important matter here is that the effect of the hot impact on the transformation of white cast iron into grey is related to the formation ratio. In this regard, the results uncover that using hot impact and at the same temperature, but at higher rates of forming (i.e. greater than 70%) the structure is completely transformed into grey cast iron.
