The upper ausferritic austempered ductile iron (ADI) specimens produced by conventional single step austempering process and the upper and lower ausferritic specimens produced by two-step austempering process were abraded on the pin on disc apparatus under the normal load of 10, 20, 30 N, by rubbing the specimens on abrasive Al 2O 3 grains with diameters of 180 Mesh (80 ?m). Although the ductile iron austempered in two steps had higher hardness than the ductile iron austempered in single step, they showed similar abrasive wear behavior. In addition, the abrasive wear resistance of two step austempered specimen increased with increasing applied load.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAbrasive wearAustempered ductile ironHardnessMicrostructureArticle2-s2.0-337458418783662Q235921
