The purpose of the study was to inspect microstructure, mechanical properties and impact toughness of ductile cast iron grade FCD450 produced by austempering process. The study focused on austempering parameter, which effected impact toughness of material at low temperature. The FCD450 was initially temperature austenized at 885°C (1625˚F) for 2 hours. Austempering was carried out at three different temperatures of 271°C (520˚F), 313°C (560˚F) and 357°C (675˚F). The austempering temperature were varied at 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 hours. X-ray diffraction was showed that the austempered ductile cast iron (ADI) microstructure consists of austenite and ferrite. The results showed that when austempered at 357°C (675˚F) for 2.5 hours has highest hardness and impact energy at low temperature. The dimple ductile fracture of ADI fracture surfaces was revealed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Ultra high strength strapping flat steel is used in packaging for papermaking, tobacco, compressed cotton and wool. At present, there is only one company can produce it by Lead bath quenching line. In this paper, the feasibility to produce new ultra high strength strapping flat steel of which tensional strength is 1350 MPa and elongation is 12% by continuous annealing process was investigated. The experiment result of steelmaking, hot rolling, pickling, cold rolling and continues heat treatment showed, the steel could be got using new chemical composition. The microstructure and X-ray diffraction spectrum of the steel showed, the steel was strengthened and toughened by martensite and retained austenite. The effect of continues heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties was discussed.

In this investigation, the effect of heat treatment parameters on the microstructure and impact energy as a measure of toughness of the austempered ductile cast iron (ADI) was studied. Yblocks were casted from ductile cast iron with following composition: 3.2% C, 2.5% Si, 1.09% Ni, 0.87% Cu, 0.5% Mo and 0.16%Mn. Charpy specimens (un-notched) were machined from the straight part of Y-blocks. All of specimens were heat treated with different conditions. Some of them were austenitized at 900°C for 60 min and then austempered at 250, 300, 350 and 400°C for various durations. Then, hardness test, impact test, optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed on the heat treated ductile iron samples. The results reveal the highest impact energy (105 J) for the sample austenitized at 900°C and austempered at 350°C for 150 min. The microstructure of this sample consisted of 28% austenite and broad ferrite needles.

This study is supervised to assess the characteristics of the locally available wheat straw ash (WSA) to consume as a substitute to the cement and support in enhancing the mechanical properties of concrete. Initially, after incineration at optimum temperature of 800°C for 0.5, the ash of wheat straw was made up to the desirable level of fineness by passing through it to the several grinding cycles. Subsequently, the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) along with X-ray diffraction (XRD) testing conducted on ash of wheat straw for the evaluation its pozzolanic potential. Finally, the specimens of concrete were made by consuming 10% and 20% percentages of wheat straw ash as a replacement in concrete to conclude its impact on the compressive strength of high strength concrete. The cylinders of steel of dimensions 10cm diameter x 20cm depth were acquired to evaluate the compressive strength of high strength concrete. The relative outcomes of cylinders made of wheat straw ash substitution presented the slight increase in strength values of the concrete. Ultimately, the C-100 blends and WSA aided cement blends were inspected for the rheology of WSA through FTIR spectroscopy along with Thermogravimetric technique. The conclusions authenticate the WSA potential to replace cement in the manufacturing of the high strength concrete.

A new method for a fast analysis of heavily deformed, multicomponent ferritic/pearlitic steels microstructure based on XRD measurements had been developed. Its practical application has been examined and proven during wire rod production of a high-strength eutectoid non-alloyed steel grade containing 0.81 weight percent carbon. For individual technological conditions, the lattice strains and their anisotropy were analysed quantitatively by means of fast X-ray diffraction measurements and correlated with the results of comprehensive mechanical testing. Obtained relationships between the microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties were described using physically based models and used to establish a material specific database for prediction of the mechanical properties from X-ray diffraction data. Depending on the deformation state different parameters have to be applied for the material’s macroscopic properties prediction. Additionally, the fast microstructure analysis can provide more detailed information in the case of deviations from the as-required material’s properties due to technological aberrations.

In this paper, the low alloy bainite ductile cast iron has been obtained by a new heat treatment technique of the step austempering in room-temperature machine oil. The effects of element boron, manganese and copper on structure and mechanical properties of the bainite ductile cast Iron in above-mentioned process are investigated. The phenomenon, hardness lag of the alloyed bainite ductile cast Iron, has been discussed. It shows that after the step austempering in room-temperature machine oil, the hardness will increases with the time. It is found that boron and manganese can increase the hardness and reduce the impact strength while copper can increase the impact strength. The results show that reasonable alloyed elements can improve mechanical properties of the bainite ductile cast Iron. Essentially, hardness lag of the alloyed bainite ductile cast Iron is resulted from solute drag-like effect.

Austempered ductile cast iron is newly developed engineering material with a favorable combination of comprehensive mechanical properties. Its properties, such as good comprehensive mechanical properties, high fatigue strength, and good fiction and wear characteristics are included. The application of ADI at home and abroad was presented as well. In order to ensure and improve mechanical properties of ADI, it should ensure high rank nodularity in terms of nodular cast iron, improve graphite nodules, reduce segregation and properly cut down the content of silicon and manganese. While in terms of heat treatment, in order to achieve ideal austenite ferrites, stable and reliable heat treatment process as well as relevant equipment is required.
