Internet introduces new ferrous material-MADI--at SAE World Congress. (North America).In a study presented at the Society of Automotive Engineers SAE International (SAE) is a professional organization for mobility engineering professionals in aerospace, automotive and the commercial vehicle industries. The Society is a standards development organization for the engineering of powered vehicles of all kinds, including (SAE) World Congress in Detroit in March, Internet Corp., Tiny, Michigan, unveiled a new ferrous metal that allows for the production of high-strength, safety-critical iron automotive cast components at a lower cost. The metal, Machinable Austempered Ductile Iron Ductile iron, also called ductile cast iron or nodular cast iron, is a type of cast iron invented in 1943 by Keith Millis[1]. While most varieties of cast iron are brittle, ductile iron is much more ductile, as the name implies. (MADI MADI Multichannel Audio Digital Interface MADI Movimento de Apoio Ao Diminuído Intelectual (Movement of Support to the Mentally Handicapped - Portugal) MADI Massachusetts Destination Imagination (youth program) ), was introduced by Alan P. Druschitz, director of material research and development at Internet. "The machining of hardened or austempered ductile iron castings has been a problem in the past," Druschitz said. "With the MADI material, we use a special chemical composition and heat-treat cycles that produce a unique microstructure mi·cro·struc·ture n. The structure of an organism or object as revealed through microscopic examination. microstructure Noun a structure on a microscopic scale, such as that of a metal or a cell more favorable to normal, less costly machining methods." Druschitz also discussed the possible market applications for the new material. "This is a major breakthrough, especially for high-volume automotive applications, which demand continuous improvement in performance as well as higher value." Internet is a manufacturer of power train, chassis/suspension and structural components for the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. . |
