3 Technische Universität München Forschungsneutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRMII) Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) Pearlite FerriteGraphite 50µm Ferrite Graphite Retained Austenite What is ADI ? Ductile Iron, as cast  Ductile Cast Iron  Heat treatment Austenitisation 850~1000°C Isothermal austempering 250~450°C  Incomplete bainitic transformation Acicular ferrite High carbon, retained austenite “Ausferrite”  Attractive engineering material 2nd internal biennial science meeting of the MLZ
