The invention discloses a heat treatment process of an austempered ductile iron bushing. The heat treatment process of the austempered ductile iron bushing is characterized by comprising the following steps of: 1, casting a bushing by nodular cast iron and machining; 2, heating the bushing to a temperature of 850-950 DEG C in a chamber electric furnace, preserving the heat for 1h; 3, immediately quenching the heated bushing in a nitrate furnace with a temperature of 250-300 DEG C, preserving the heat for 1h; and 4, discharging out of the furnace and cooling with water for about 5min. According to the heat treatment process of the austempered ductile iron bushing, provided by the invention, the manufactured austempered ductile iron bushing has the characteristics of high strength, high hardness, good impaction, high wear resistance and fatigue resistance, and small abrasion; moreover, a matching gap of a pin and the bushing is well controlled, the vibration and noise during running are remarkably smaller than those of other vehicles, and the normal position of a bogie is ensured due to slight lateral oscillation; and the austempered ductile iron bushing is high in radiance and good in corrosion resistance, and has no rhegma during use and overhauling processes.
