This SAE Standard covers the mechanical and physical property requirements for Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) castings used in automotive and allied industries. Specifically covered are:
- a Hardness
- b Tensile Strength
- c Yield Strength
- d Elongation
- e Modulus of Elasticity
- f Impact Energy
- g Microstructure
In this document SI units are primary and in-lb units are derived.
Appendix A provides general information and related resources on the microstructural, chemical and heat treatment requirements to meet the mechanical properties needed for ADI in particular service conditions and applications.
