The microstructure and properties of austempered ductile iron with carbides was studied to increase the abrasive resistance of ADI. It was proven that the austempering temperature influences greatly the microstructure, impact toughness, hardness and abrasion resistance of CADI. With increase of austempering temperature, the acicular ferrite becomes thicker and bigger, the impact toughness rises, and the hardness decreases. But there is a complicated effect of austempering temperature on wet abrasion resistance. In addition, the CADI grinding balls were cast and the field testing was performed. The CADI ball is one third of abrasion loss of low chromium cast iron, zero rate of breakage and no loosing round.

With the common engineering-purpose ductile iron used as research subject, the research on rules of austempering parameters to influence the impact toughness and hardness of austempered ductile iron (ADI) was implemented in this paper by adopting the combination of theoretical, experimental and numerical simulation methods, and setting series of austempering parameters; After the impact tests and hardness tests simulated by the finite element software - ANSYS Workbench, the simulation data were analyzed by comparing with the experimental data. The experimental results showed that: austenitizing time was longer, ADI hardness was smaller while impact toughness remained unchanged; hardness was in linearly-decreasing trend with rise of austempering temperature, while impact toughness first increased and then decreased as the austempering temperature rose, with the maximum at the temperature 350°C; The effect of austempering time on the impact toughness was very few; extension of austempering time allows the hardness to increase slightly, but only a little.

Laboratory abrasive wear tests have been reported on permanent moulded toughened austempered ductile iron. The influence of austempering temperature on the abrasive wear behavior have been studied and discussed. The results indicate that with increase in austempering temperature from 300°C to 350°C, the abrasive wear resistance increased, and as the austempering temperature increased to 400°C, there was reduction in the abrasive wear resistance. These results have been interpreted based on the structural features and graphite morphology.

The effect of different austempering holding times on the hardness and impact toughness of 0.254% niobium alloyed austempered ductile iron was investigated in this study. Molten ductile iron was prepared in an induction furnace with capacity of 60kg. Samples with dimension of 300m x Ø25mm in form of Y block double cylinder was constituted and solidified samples were then machined in accordance to ASTM E23 for impact test specimens. Samples were ground and polished before Rockwell hardness test was conducted. Austempering heat treatment process with austenitizing temperature of 900°C for 1 hour and austempering temperature of 350°C for 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hour holding times were then carried out. The results from this research indicated that austempering the sample for 1 hour resulted in significant improvement of the impact toughness values but increasing the austempering holding time deficiently reduced the values. On the contrary, the hardness of niobium alloyed austempered ductile iron continues to increase with respect to longer austempering holding times.
