Near-Net-Shape Manufacturing of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) Components
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 is being manufactured from high quality Ductile Iron through austempering process. ADI castings provide a unique combination of high strength and toughness coupled with superior wear resistance properties.

The influence of aluminium on the microstructure of austempered ductile cast iron (ADI) has been studied. The presence of well distributed graphite in the matrix, and a relatively high volume fraction of retained austenite are responsible for the good mechanical properties of the Aluminium alloyed austempered ductile irons including excellent wear resistance, higher resistance to thermal shock,...
متن کاملThe Ductile to Brittle Transition Temperature of Unalloyed Adi Material
In material selection, especially in low temperature conditions, one of very important factors it is a ductile to brittle transition temperature, i.e. the temperature when material becomes too brittle to use. In this paper transition temperature determined by impact energy in temperature interval from –196 to +100°C of unalloyed austempered ductile iron with different microstructures have been ...
