ժҪ The effects of 2.2% Ni and 0.6% Mo additions on the kinetics, microstructure and mechanical properties of ductile aluminum cast iron were studied in the as-cast and tempered conditions. Test bars machined from cast to size samples, were used for mechanical and metallurgical studies. The results showed that the addition of Ni and Mo to the base iron produces an upper bainitic structure resulting in an increase in strength and hardness. The same trend was shown when the test bars tempered from 300oC in the range of 300 to 400oC. The elongation increased with increasing the temperature from 300 to 400oC. The carbon content of the retained austenite also increased with increasing temperature. The results also showed that the kinetics, microstructure and mechanical properties of this iron are similar to Ni-Mo alloyed silicon ductile iron.
