Many elements have been used for present investigation on the problem in question and the following results have been confirmed:
1) All the elements having face centred cubic lattice favour the graphitization of white cast iron of Fe-C-J system (J is any element). However the element, which favours the graphitization of white cast iron, is not limited to that having face centred cubic lattice.
2) The elements having close-packed hexagonal lattice resemble to those having face centred cubic lattice, and most of the elements belonging to this group favour the graphitization of white cast iron.
3) Most of the elements which hinder completely the graphitization of white cast iron are included in the elements having body centred cubic lattice.
