    Abstract: This research focused on the excellent mechanical properties of austempered ductile iron (ADI) which have been harden to significantly increase its application in the production of automobile parts, and improve their performance. ADI has been produced in this work to replace forged steel crankshaft taking advantage of the significant savings in ene... Show More
