Abstract
Laboratory abrasion and erosion tests have been carried out on permane nt moulded austempered ductile iron (PMADI) castings and the results c ompared with similar tests on sand cast austempered ductile iron. The effect of variation in silicon content in the range 2.4-3.4% was studi ed. Dry sand rubber wheel abrasion test results were used to judge abr asion resistance and jet erosion tests were conducted at different imp act angles to evaluate erosion resistance. PMADI castings have been sh own to possess better abrasion and erosion resistance than the sand mo ulded counterpart. Typical microstructural features observed in PMADI castings and their implications on abrasion and erosion resistance hav e been discussed.
