Abstract:A novel heat treatment process has been conceived for creation of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) with combination of high strength and high ductility. The process involves a step up austenitization of ductile cast iron after initial austenitization in the lower intercritical temperature range, then raising the temperature to the fully austenitic region followed by austempering at low bainitic temperatures.In this investigation an unalloyed ductile cast iron with low Carbon Equivalent (CE) was processed by the … Show more
