INTRODUCTION
Figure 5 : Comparison of Contact Fatigue Strengths Figure 8 shows a comparison of tooth root bending
of ADI with Those of Conventional Ductile Iron and fatigue in various materials. This figure demonstrates
Steels Used for Gear Applications that ADI is competitive with cast and through-hardened
steels. It also shows that shot-peened ADI has improved
Figure 6 illustrates that ADI has improved abrasion fatigue strength that is comparable to gas-nitrided and
resistance when compared to steels and quench and case-carburized steels. Shot peening can improve the
tempered ductile iron. ADI experiences less volume loss allowable bending fatigue of carburized and hardened
at similar hardness levels, resulting in a component with steels by 30%, while it increases the allowable bending
improved wear characteristics. fatigue of ADI by 75%.
