ABSTRACT:
An austempered ductile iron alloy with a mixed austenitic-bainitic structure is made by a method which enables the iron to withstand high cyclical stresses while having a high resistance to abrasion. Articles such as automobile roller-follower camshafts that are made from the iron alloy may have portions thereof selectively austempered to reduce the overall cost and time required to manufacture the article.
