Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) has all the advantages of a ductile iron casting plus mechanical properties which are superior to all cast irons and most steel forgings and castings, thanks to a special heat treat process. Its strength, wear resistance and toughness are equal or better than steel, while it’s damping properties are five times greater than steel. In density, ADI is .26 lbs. per cubic inch compared with steel’s .28 lbs. per cubic inch. ADI offers one of the best combinations when it comes to lower costs, design flexibility, machinability and strength-to-weight ratio.

Markets that are heavy users of this technology include:

• Construction and mining equipment
• Material handling
• Ag implement and equipment
• Automotive
• Heavy Truck
• Railroad 
  
  

Typical applications include:
