AUSTEMPERED DUCTILE IRON

The modern material of the future

ADI is a modern, innovative high-tech material that provides new possibilities in the design and manufacturing of machine components operating in harsh conditions and under high loads. This material is perfectly suited for large-scale production.

What is ADI?

Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) is a heat-treated ductile iron that is characterized by high strength and plasticity properties. Thanks to the unique TRIP (TRansformation Induced Plasticity) property, it outperforms the quality parameters of steel.

Properties of ADI

Strength

High mechanical strength and wear resistance proven under dynamic loads.

Mass reduction

A reduction in component mass by up to 20% due to its density and strength. The ability to give the structure any shape by replacing multiple parts with a single one.

Production optimization

The ability to replace multiple constructions with a single casting. Elimination of the welding process for components and reduction of production time.

Production capabilities

Manufacturing castings weighing up to 600 kg.

From automotive to the defense industry.

Thanks to its exceptional properties, ADI performs excellently in extreme conditions, where high mechanical strength and plasticity are crucial. One of the greatest advantages of this material is the production process, which is significantly faster than forging. The use of ADI castings allows for a reduction in the carbon footprint of production due to lower energy consumption.

ADI has a wide, global application in the production of structural elements for armored vehicles, transmission components, and drive wheels.

Manufacturers in industries such as rail, agriculture, mining, and automotive will also find ADI cast iron to be a reliable and durable material.

Solutions for designers

ADI components offer new possibilities for designers looking for a material that provides the right combination of strength, versatility, and the potential for large-scale production. ADI will particularly interest designers working in areas such as:

heavy-duty trucks

brackets, crankshafts, suspension systems, brake system components

railway machinery

yokes, brake system components, and load-bearing elements of wagons

agricultural and construction machinery

coupling components, drivetrain systems, axles, shafts

defense industry

tracked vehicles, missile bodies, gears
