Multiphase matrix structure of unalloyed austempered ductile iron
2018
ABSTRACTA multiple phase structure characterised by a mixture of lenticular prior martensite (PM), fine needle bainitic ferrite and film retained austenite (RA) of an unalloyed ductile iron is developed. The designed austempering consists of initial rapid quenching to 210, 200 and 180°C respectively and finally austempering at 220°C for 240 min. The optimum mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of 1330 MPa, an elongation of 3.1% and 422HB, can be achieved by controlling the volume fraction of PM to 12.3% and the RA content to 18.1%. This is mainly attributed to PM that can accelerate the subsequent bainitic transformation and promote refinement of multiphase colonies.
