Abstract: The heat treatment can also shed light on the superb mix of mechanical qualities that S.G. iron was able to achieve. The manufacture of Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) is the most current advancement in this field. It offers a remarkable blend of high tensile strength, superior corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and a sizable level of flexibility. These reasons lead to the austenitization of S.G. or ductile iron when a highly advantageous combination of several qualities is needed. However, because it calls for regulated heating and isothermal material retention, this kind of treatment is a little more difficult. Therefore, it's important to identify some appealing strategies for S.G. Iron property growth. Conventional heat treatment techniques, including as annealing, normalizing, and tempering the material, have been used in the current work. A comparison has been made between the mechanical qualities obtained by different techniques. Two distinct S.G. Iron grades—one with copper and the other without—have been employed in this work. It has also been researched how the alloying element, copper, affects things.
