Structural and Mechanical Characterization of Austempered Cu - Sn Ductile Iron Alloys

The effect of heat treatment and alloying elements of copper and tin on the microstructure and mechanical properties of austempered ductile cast iron alloys is investigated. The austenitizing temperature of 890°C, the isothermal transformation (austempering) temperatures of 285, 335 and 375°C, and austempering times of 15, 30, 75 and 150 minutes are studied. The alloying elements of copper and ...

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 ...

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...
