Abstract Alcoa A354 VersaCast is a proprietary, heat-treatable, Al-Si-Cu-Mg casting alloy (3xx.x series). Owing to its high strength, high ductility, and very good casting characteristics, it is used for the most demanding structural applications. It also is used as a costeffective alternative to ductile iron castings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as casting. Filing Code: Al-473. Producer or source: Alcoa Corporation.

Abstract The paper presents recent developments concerning the formation of surface layer in austempered ductile iron castings. It was found that the traditional methods used to change the properties of the surface layer, i.e. the effect of protective atmosphere during austenitising or shot peening, are not fully satisfactory to meet the demands of commercial applications. Therefore, new ways to shape the surface layer and the surface properties of austempered ductile iron castings are searched for, to mention only detonation spraying, carbonitriding, CVD methods, etc.
