Austempered Ductile Iron

Austempered Ductile Iron or ADI is a heat-treated form of ductile iron that exhibits enhanced strength and toughness. Its increasing use in a wide range of industries is due, in large part, to its ease of manufacture and relatively low cost compared to steel and aluminium alloys, combined with mechanical properties that are superior to those of other cast irons.

It is used for pumps and industrial components prone to wear, gears where wear resistance combined with superior damping properties are valuable, agricultural applications where wear resistance to soil is good, construction, particularly for crushing and grading applications, food where milling, grinding and mixing requires good wear resistance, and many more.
