This paper reviews the data found in the literature on environmentally assisted embrittlement of Ductile Irons. A discussion on the mechanisms that may cause such environmental embrittlement is also presented.
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 is a list of typical ADI(Austempered Ductile Iron) properties as seen in commercial applications. Metric (SI) units
