New austempered ductile cast iron precipitated ferrite around the spheroidal graphite was produced by heat treatment. The process involved austempering at 653 K after furnace cooling to 998 K from an austenitizing temperature of 1173 K (
α-ADI). In this process, the ferrite thickness around the graphite was about 25 μm, and the matrix was a bainite structure. The tensile strength and 0.2 % proof strength of
α-ADI were about 30 % lower than that of the conventional ADI. However, the elongation and Charpy impact strength of
α-ADI were increased remarkably. The brittle-ductile transient temperature was about 210 K for both ADI and
α-ADI.
