The paper presents several concepts of physical substantiation for the rationale of building the relationships between mechanical properties and ultrasonic inspection indicators. Special emphasis is put on assessing the influence of graphite shape number SS and the number of graphite precipitations NA on the tensile strength and longitudinal ultrasound wave velocity of ductile iron manufactured under production conditions. Tests were conducted on wedge casts which were used as samples for tensile tests and a map of the structure and longitudinal ultrasound wave velocity was determined for the cast wedges. The tensile tests were conducted and values of graphite shape number, average number of graphite precipitations and longitudinal wave velocity were determined in the place where the sample was broken. Relations between the mechanical properties, graphite shape number, number of graphite precipitations and the velocity of longitudinal ultrasonic wave were determined.
