High Cyclic Fatigue Characteristics of Austempered Ductile Iron. Effect of Surface-Finished Layer Removed by Electropolishing.

Effects of Carbides on Fatigue Characteristics of Austempered Ductile Iron

Crack initiation and growth behaviour of an austempered ductile iron (ADI) austenitised at 800C and austempered at 260C has been assessed under three point bend fatigue conditions. Initiation sites have been identified as carbides remaining from the as cast ductile iron due to insufficient austenisation. The number of carbides cracking on loading to stresses greater than 275 MPa is critical in ...

Development of High Silicon Dual Phase Austempered Ductile Iron

This work deals with the feasibility of obtaining Austempered Ductile Iron with Dual Phase structures (DPADI) through heat treatment, starting from different as-cast microstructures. The mechanical properties on these microstructures were evaluated. DPADI microstructures were obtained by adding different tenors of silicon (2.4% to 4.2%) to the melts and keeping the other alloying elements const...

Effect of Alloying Elements on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Austempered Ductile Iron Alloys

Near-Net-Shape Manufacturing of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) Components

Near Net Shape (NNS) manufacturing produces the engineering components closer to its final specification in single stage or minimum number of stages. ADI process technology is one of the NNS manufacturing technologies, currently being followed by the industries for manufacturing of engineering components at competitive price. Austempered Ductile Iron is a new class of engineering material which...
