Estudio del comportamiento de fundición CADI sometida a FCR

ABSTRACT Ductile Iron (DI) is a development of the iron alloys introduced in the ´50s, with free graphite in the form of nodules. Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) is a development of DI later introduced, consisting on austempering heat treatment in order to obtain a high strength and high toughness material. Carbidic Austempered Ductile Iron (CADI) is a more recent development of DI, modified by the presence of stabilized carbides (hard particles) in order to improve its abrasion resistance but with lower impact toughness than ADI. Until now, the research on CADI was mainly related with its app...
