Abstract This study makes use of the transmission electron microscopy to examine the crystal structure of eutectic flake graphite extracted from commercial gray cast iron. The result shows that the flake graphite contains rotational stacking faults of various rotation angles. The fault is observed to occur more frequently in fine graphite flakes than in coarse flakes. The fault formation seems to be responsible for the characteristic growth mode of flake type graphite, especially in the fine flakes precipitated at high rates.
