This paper presents an overview of the current knowledge concerning SiMo ductile cast iron begins by describing the standard type of ductile cast iron before proceding to description of its microstructures. The paper then presents its chemical composition and the significant influence of individual elements on technological and mechanical properties. The research section focuses the influence of the addition of Si and Mo to the matrix of gray iron. After casting, stepped samples were carried out on the microstructure along with UTS tensile strength tests. The research presented in the article is a preliminary step towards the goal of obtaining a stable production process for silico-molybdenum cast iron.
