The results of research on stereological parameters of carbides in modified hypoeutectic chromium cast iron were shown in the paper. The
effect of distance the casting heat centre of casting to the carbide phase morphology was examined. The samples for metallographic
examination were taken from various locations of the model casting prepared in a special tester. This model casting was designed to
simulate the solidification of heavy castings. Using the proposed methodology the relation of the distance from the model mould and the
size, perimeter, length, width and the shape factor of carbides was examined. During the analysis, the values of stereological parameters of
carbides changed on various sections of the model casting.
