Problems solved by technology

[0004] Moreover, in the traditional nitrate salt bath isothermal quenching process, because nitrate will not only produce a large amount of nitrite harmful substances when melting, it will seriously pollute The environment is harmful to human health, and the time for nitrate melting and austempering during the austempering process is long, resulting in low productivity and high production costs
[0005]In addition, traditional nodular cast iron is expensive due to the addition of expensive molybdenum (Mo) and nickel (Ni), which is extremely expensive. The earth has influenced the overall development of the Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) industry
Moreover, the traditional nodular cast iron not only has weak hardenability and hardenability, but also is prone to adverse phenomena such as element microsegregation, which leads to a high rejection rate of workpieces or easy damage to finished products during use, resulting in safety failures
