Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Thin Wall Ductile Iron
Abstract: Currently many cast parts are produced in aluminum rather than cast iron, because of the drive to get high strength /weight ratio for application in automobile and aerospace. Ductile Iron casting of approximately 2-3mm section thickness better known as Thin wall ductile iron (TWDI) having high strength /weight ratio and better mechanical properties than Aluminum alloys. The effect of various parameters like, post inoculation, gating and feeding, moulding sand mix …

Technological Progress in Thin Wall Austempered Ductile Iron: From Manufacturing to Operation
Abstract: Nowadays, aluminum is used more often than cast iron in the production of cast parts due to the desire to reduce vehicle weight. Theoretically, austempered ductile iron can be used in high strength, light weight parts because thin wall austempered ductile iron (TWADI) components can be produced with strength-to-density ratios that are comparable to those of cast aluminum. Thus, advancements in the technology of thin wall austempered ductile iron are …
