A897/A897M-16 is a standard specification for austempered ductile iron castings. It specifies the chemica composition, mechanical properties, and other requirements for austempered ductile iron (ADI) castings.
Chemical composition: The chemical composition of A897/A897M-16 steel grade includes iron, carbon, silicon, manganese, copper, sulfur, and phosphorus. It is important to ensure that the specified limits for each element are met in order to achieve the desired properties of the steel grade.
Mechanical properties: The mechanical properties of A897/A897M-16 steel grade include tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness. These properties are important for determining the strength and performance of the steel grade in various applications. The steel grade must meet the specified values for these properties to ensure its suitability for the intended use.
Applications: A897/A897M-16 steel grade is primarily used in the manufacture of components that require high strength, toughness, and wear resistance. It is commonly used in the automotive, agricultural, construction, and mining industries for applications such as gears, suspension components, axle components, and wear-resistant parts.
Standard number: A897/A897M-16 is the standard number assigned to this specification by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This standard provides a comprehensive set of requirements for the chemical composition and mechanical properties of austempered ductile iron castings.
Corresponding: The term “corresponding” in this context refers to the relationship between the standard number (A897/A897M-16) and the specification it represents. In other words, A897/A897M-16 is the specific standard that provides the properties and applications information for the designated steel grade.
