An application-based paper highlighting this unique ADI (Austempered Ductile Iron) bracket design.
Read More >Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) is a specialty heat treated material that takes advantage of the near-net shape technology and low cost manufacturability of ductile iron castings to make a high strength, low cost, excellent abrasion-resistant material. Six grades of ADI are available to address property combinations of high strength, abrasion resistance and toughness for converting from costly forgings, weldments and assemblies.
This paper highlights the research on wear resistance and property data of using ADI (Austempered Ductile Iron) for railcar wheels.
