Elevated Temperature Tensile Properties of Austempered Ductile Irom

Mo-Ni-Cu계 오스템퍼 구상흑연주철의 고온특성

The relationships between the microstructure changes, retained austenite volume and elevated temperature tensile properties of Mo-Ni-Cu ADI corresponding to various austempering temperatures and time were investigated, After the $250^{\circ}C$ tensile test for the test piece austempered at $270^{\circ}C$ the accicular bainite structure was observed blunted under room temperature microscope. In the case of $370^{\circ}C$ austempering, the feathery bainite lath spacing was observed broadened. But after the $450^{\circ}C$ tensile test, bainitic features could not be observed. As the testing temperature increased, retained austenite volume tested at room temperature decreased. Especially, after the $450^{\circ}C$ tensile test retained austenite volume approached nearly to zero. A little higher tensile properties appeared at $250^{\circ}C$ testing than those at room temperature.
