Standard Specification for Austempered Ductile Iron Castings
ASTM A897/A897M Austempered Ductile Iron Castings Grades
The mechanical property requirements for various grades of Austempered Ductile Iron Castings (ADI Castings) , as defined by the ASTM A 897/A 897M-03 standard. These materials are known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and wear resistance, achieved through a specific heat treatment process.
