Abstract
The effects of austempering time on the structure and properties of high-strength austempered ductile iron were studied by using optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the matrix structure of austempered ductile iron (ADI) consists of acicular ferrite and retained austenite. With the increase of austempering time, the content of acicular ferrite increases and the content of retained austenite first increases and then decreases, which results in tensile strength, elongation and impact toughness increase whereas hardness and wear resistance decreases. The fracture characteristics of the ADI specimens change from brittle fracture to ductile fracture with the increase of austempering time. ADI has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties after austenitizing at 900 °C for 90 min and then austempering at 250 °C for 120 min.
期刊介绍:
Metallurgical Research and Technology (MRT) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal publishing original high-quality research papers in areas ranging from process metallurgy to metal product properties and applications of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, including light-metals. It covers also the materials involved in the metal processing as ores, refractories and slags.
The journal is listed in the citation index Web of Science and has an Impact Factor.
It is highly concerned by the technological innovation as a support of the metallurgical industry at a time when it has to tackle severe challenges like energy, raw materials, sustainability, environment... Strengthening and enhancing the dialogue between science and industry is at the heart of the scope of MRT. This is why it welcomes manuscripts focusing on industrial practice, as well as basic metallurgical knowledge or review articles.
