When the ductile iron which is also known as Spheroidal Graphite (SG) iron, is subjected to austempering heat treatment, the material is known as austempered ductile iron (ADI). This material has good mechanical properties and has various applications in different fields. This revolutionary material with its excellent combination of strength, ductility, toughness and wear resistance has the potential to replace some of the commonly used conventional materials such as steel, aluminium and other light weight alloys as it offers production advantage as well. One of the problems encountered during manufacturing is machining of ADI parts owing to its high hardness and wear resistance. Many researchers over a period of time have reported the machinability aspects of the ADI. This paper presents a review on the developments made on the machinability aspects of ADI along with other mechanical properties.

Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) is widely implemented to achieve lightweight and optimized components in power transmissions (e.g., internal gear in planetary stages), by substituting steel castings or a combination of Ductile Iron and steel-assembled structures. In this paper, the contact fatigue of two ADI grades (ADI J/S900-8; ADI J/S1200-3) is investigated by disk-on-disk tests. The disk-on-disk contact is an analogy model of the tooth contact and represents the tribological conditions at a specific point on the path of contact. The experimental results cover the endurance limit as well as the short time fatigue behavior for both ADI variants. In addition, the pitting characteristics and microstructural changes are analyzed in order to get a further understanding of the fatigue behavior of ADI.
