Understanding the Machinability of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Guidelines for production milling, turning and drilling of the standard grades of austempered ductile irons (ADI) have been established. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) characterization has clearly shown that severe plastic deformation in the machining-affected-zone, ahead of and beneath the cutting tool, will cause strain-induced martensitic transformation of the austenite in the ausferrite structure that inhibits machinability. This phenomenon is particularly of concern during finish machining where small depths of cut are strongly influenced by surface martensite from prior machining passes.
