Austempered ductile iron has been considered as a substitution to replace conventional
steel castings, steel forgings and even aluminum in many applications. Its excellent …

Austempered ductile iron (ADI) is a type of graphite cast iron produced by an isothermal heat
treatment process. It is an alternative to traditional steel castings and forgings and even …

The tribological behavior of austempered ductile iron (ADI) obtained at different
austempering temperatures is investigated. The microstructure of ADI is consisted of …

Ultrasonic surface rolling (USR) treatment with different rolling loads (600, 800, 1000 and
1200 N) was introduced to the 17Cr2Ni2MoVNb steel. The microstructure and rolling contact …

The present study mainly investigated the phase transformation and wear performance of
laser hardened austempered gray cast iron specimens. Ball-on-Plate reciprocating sliding …

The influence of the austempering temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical
properties of austempered ductile cast iron (ADI) was investigated. ADI is nodular graphite …

Friction losses represent 23% of total annual energy consumption globally, which makes its
study essential. For the measurement or prediction of the friction force and the wear rate …

In this work the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) behavior of dual-phase austempered ductile
iron (ADI) was studied and compared to that of conventional ADI. The effect of surface …

Both ductile iron and steel are widely used to build rolling elements. As ductile irons
generally cost less than steels, this study was conducted to evaluate its rolling contact …

ADI are the result of graphite nodules and ausferrite microstructure (acicular ferrite+ retained
austenite). Over the past few years, ADI has become an important material for engineering …
