Measurement of the kinetics of thermal effects during phase transformations in ADI
The heat generation rate during austempering of ADI (Austempered Ductile Iron) for process temperatures of 250, 265, 280 and 293 degrees C has been presented. A special measuring device was constructed. Thermal effects were quantified by analysis of the experimental temperature curves during the austempering process.
